Good morning, how are you? I wanted to let you know this is a review for Shady Cat Social Club who sent me Silvervine Powder, Catnap & Valerian, Leaf & Flower, Silvervine Powder in exchange for this review.
Silvervine – The strangest product we carry but honestly one of the most popular items cats just can’t get enough of! Silvervine is a small Fruit grown in Asia (cousin to the Kiwi fruit! How odd!) that is the Eastern equivalent to Catnip. The Powder is noted in various studies to have a higher effectiveness rate on Cats than Catnip anywhere from 75-90%, whereas Catnip’s effectiveness rate is somewhere between 65-85%. It is offered in a screw top metal tin so your Cat can’t pull the Shady card once they find out how much they LOVE Silvervine!
What do you DO with Silvervine???
Well, it’s pretty much the same as Catnip, but no need to rub between your fingers to release the Essential Oils! Just take a small pinch between your fingers and either put it in the lid of the tin and set it down and your Cat will lick it up and get sillier than silly, or you can put that same small amount in a toy, on a toy, on a scratch post or the floor! A little pinch goes a long way and this tin will last a very long time! Just make sure you screw the lid on tight because your cat(s) will love this odd, brown, crumbly stuff! You’ve been warned 😉
Catnip & Valerian – a fantastic blend of our original Leaf & Flower and Valerian, a widely used relaxant that is known for its relaxing properties for both humans and animals alike! This blend is fantastic for any kitty but it can really shine when given to cats with anxiety issues, fear or behavioral challenges. It is offered in a 1.25 oz. bag and is also a part of our Sampler Set. Read about our Leaf & Flower Catnip, how we process our plants and recommended uses!
Our Leaf & Flower Catnip is our “original shake”- a ground mixture of only the leaves and flowers from the Catnip plant. We try to filter out as much of the stalk as possible because the stalk has none of the Nepetalactone that attracts the Cats! So our Leaf & Flower Catnip is a very potent blend, something you will notice when you examine our Catnip.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
