Dental care and play instinct
Matatabi has long been a household name in Asia, and in European regions the plant has recently gained increasing attention among cat lovers.. Even though Matatabi is often referred to as a cat drug, consuming parts of the plant is completely safe for cats. Often, cats that do not react to other substances feel stimulated by Matatabi and react very positively to it. The fragrances have a stimulating effect and another great advantage of the soft matatabi wood is that no dangerous splinters come loose when chewing. The essential oils contained can even have a calming effect. Cats often spend half an hour or less playing with the sticks of the Matatabi plant, which eliminates the risk of addiction, but is a long-lasting fun for the cat. Chewing on the sticks stimulates saliva flow and dissolves plaque. This contributes positively to the prevention of tartar, bad breath, etc.. at.
Meaning, origin and cultivation
Matatabi (Latin: Actinidia polygama) is a climbing plant that can grow up to five meters high. It is often known under the English term »Silvervine« or also as »Japanese Catnip«. The plant thrives in Asian regions such as Japan, China or Korea. The word »Matatabi« comes from Japanese and the English name »Silvervine« (Silver vine) This is due to the fact that the »male« plants have a silvery-white leaf colour. Matatabi is a wild relative of the kiwi plant, whose fruits are not tasty for humans. Cultivation is also difficult because a male and female plant must always be present for pollination.
