Whole Silvervine Fruit- Dried Silvervine Gall Fruit- Actinidia Polygama - Cat Toy - Cat Treat

Cats love this, though costly they love these fruits alot and play with them atleast for few hours. I keep it back in the bag to maintain smell but keep that in mind

Love it

We have two indoor cats that love catnip, but were not too interested in the gall fruit, they played with it for maybe a minute. We have 7 feral cats outside, all have been trapped, nurtured, and have had their shots. Our outdoor feral cats LOVE THIS GALL FRUIT. they bite it, (it’s good for their teeth), they chew it, (again, good for their oral hygiene and teeth), they roll on it, rub it on their faces. They love it! So some cats do and some cats don’t. Those who say that it doesn’t work, and their cat doesn’t like it? It is just exactly that, they have a cat that doesn’t like it, not that the product is bad.

I ground one (more like pounded it) up in a mortar bowl to try it on a plate and the larger pieces I put inside a pouch raccoon or similar toy (two I have already). Note I tried to pound up a second and it wouldn’t break apart at all. Tried softening it in water and rinsed the bowl into the cat dry food and one cat loved that! Softening didn’t help. Several of my cats do respond including ones that aren’t much interested in catnip leaves. I grow my catnip but with all the rain in California right now it’s muddy and nearly picked out so I needed something to help my indoor cats not be too bored. The toys got some play, will see how long the smell keeps their interest! Thought breaking it might help not sure it did. I don’t see this as a Great deal cost wise, see photo on size with scale reference in inches behind the package. I decided to try this instead of it ground because it can be placed in a toy and discarded when no longer an interesting smell. The dried catnip no longer works on my cats and they do need a play stimulant. Also only half my cats like the catnip anyway even the fresh leaves. The ones who do respond to catnip love it, the others don’t care at all (it is by litter so obviously genetic as I have three different litters represented in my six cats).

The product is great! My cats don’t respond to catnip but they love the silvervine galls. Both instantly responded and have enjoyed them. I will say, the package is quite small and my cats could go through a pack this size in a couple of days.
