Customer review: "Personally I can't tell the flavour as it's for my cat but other than the peace and quiet and break from biting me during teething stage of his kitten months is an achievement. Used this as a last resort to save my hands from constant biting attacks. I encouraged him to play with it instead of biting me and it seems to work. He seems preoccupied and more than happy with his new toy."

For cats that don't react to catnip, there is another plant that felines are known to go nuts for: silver vine. Silver vine contains compounds which trigger a strong and positive response in many cats. These compounds mimic natural feline pheromones. It's used in cat toys and treats, such as these natural olyee Silvervine Chew Sticks. Unlike crinkle toys and playthings that are all bells and whistles, this is a quiet toy for chilled chewing. Enticing your cat to gnaw, silver vine activates a cat's pleasure centre – resulting in a rewarding feeling – relieving stress and getting plaque off their teeth. If your cat doesn't respond to catnip, they might really like silver vine.

Customer review: "I bought these for my two 10 week old kittens and they spent ages chewing and playing with the sticks. My older cat, who is very grumpy and overweight, never plays with any toys at all and hates the kittens, came into the room and stole a stick from one of the kittens. She spent 20 minutes hugging the stick, rolling around, throwing it about and dribbled all over my kitchen floor. She completely ignored the kittens for a change – she normally hisses at them and runs away. I haven't seen her like this with anything for years, she doesn't usually like catnip either. It was lovely to see her so enthralled and happy. When they are destroyed I will definitely be buying more."

Customer review: "I have purchased these for my adult cat and these are her favourite toys. They are just the right size for "bunny kicks" and biting but also can be carried around. They are soft but the material is strong and lasts well. They get played with every day and eventually may look a bit "beaten-up" hence this repeat purchase. Overall a great product and a happy cat."

Customer review: "My cats love this so much I came back and bought two more. It is pretty durable and had held up to multiple cats biting and batting it around the room over a few months. The mesh is starting to come off at this point which is why I decided to buy more. If you have a cat that is rough or likes to rip through things easily you may have to keep an eye on him/her with this until you are sure it won’t tear, it is pretty durable but the mesh does come off with some force."
