Raw Paws Silvervine Powder, 75 Grams, Catnip Alternative - Matatabi Cat Toy

This product is quite a bit more expensive than catnip, but in general my cats like it a bit more. Pleasant smell. A shaker lid would be nice, but there isn't one.

Not sure if it is because this silver vine powder was super fine or just what, but my cats had no interest in it. They typically will beg, borrow and steal for a silvervine stick so I thought this powder would be good for them to use on their toys. Not so. There was no smell. The color was meh brown and the container was tiny. The powder has no effect and it is so fine it is useless in cat toys. Buy sticks instead.

nice, generous amount... very fine mill.... nice tight closing jar. More important... a GREAT break for all kitties, from the usual catnip. Nice to have another choice. Kitties know the difference and welcome it. Will be growing my own or buying it... this will become part of the "treat" list... Between the rescue kitties and my own.... not one has turned their noses up at this. So... for the pleasure it gives my gang... I think I can recommend it for your fuzzies....

Not sure kitties like this better than catnip. But worked to trap a stray kitty.

Just okay. My cats are not really fans of this like other silvervine powders we’ve purchased before. Will come and check it out, but then walk away.

After trying out Raw Paws Silvervine Powder, I can confirm it's like catnip on steroids! 🐾 Forget catnip, this stuff is the feline equivalent of a VIP backstage pass to a rock concert. My cat went from couch potato to party animal in seconds flat! I've never seen him so hyped up – it's like he's auditioning for 'So You Think You Can Dance: Cat Edition.' And the best part? It's 2X more attractive than catnip, so you know you're getting your money's worth. If you want to see your cat go from lazy loaf to purr-fectly wild, do yourself a favor and get some Silvervine Powder. Your cat will thank you... after their epic dance party, of course!

My cats went CRAZY over a tiny little packet of silvervine powder (that came free with an inclined cat scratcher we'd bought). That company wasn't selling the silvervine powder separately at the time. So, I searched around and found this, assuming it was probably all about the same. Well, it isn't. My cats couldn't have cared less when I excitedly opened the jar and started putting it on their toy mice and "fish tacos". We have NINE cats, and only one of them showed some mild interest. It was pretty sad. I recently found that the kind in the silver packets are available for purchase, and wasted no time buying a box. Again, my cats were all over that stuff! I'm not sure if this particular brand is simply not concentrated enough, or if it's just processed differently? The kind that comes in silver packets is a darker orange/brown in color, and is very, very finely ground...like a super-velvety powder, whereas this brand is lighter in color and you can see tiny pieces where it isn't as finely ground (as seen in photo). Also, it doesn't take as much with the powdery one. I have to carefully and slowly tap a tiny amount onto one spot on a toy, then lightly rub it in. With this one, I just rub it ALL OVER the toy and it still has no affect. With all of that being said, I'm sure some cats are sensitive to this brand and love it. However, it simply had little to no affect on MY cats.

This stuff is great and there’s a lot of it too! You only use a tiny amount, really dusting it on. My young cat sniffed some, got very playful and fun! My older cat ate some and got very calm, even though the kitten was messing with him! All the animals are happy tonight! Also, it came the day after I ordered it! Five stars!
