Will Silvervine make my cat addicted? Is it harmful to their health?
No! Silvervine is a green, natural plant. The actinidine and other compounds in the plant are detected by a cat's olfactory system, sending signals to the brain through their sensory neurons. It does not directly stimulate the brain, so it does not interfere with the body's normal physiology. Once the cat stops having access to silvervine, they will return to normal behavior over time.
What are the advantages of Silvervine over Catnip?
Silvervine is rarer, and its effects are stronger than catnip. It works for most cats and contains actinidine, which aids digestion and is rich in Vitamin C and minerals. These properties help prevent diarrhea in cats.
For Special Cats:
Pregnant cats, kittens, or cats with liver or kidney conditions should consult a veterinarian before use.
