A toy with a matatabi twig and a jute string designed for cats. The matatabi plant (Actinidia ussuryska) is a species of kiwi native to the higher parts of China and Japan. Its effect on cats resembles catnip, stimulates cats to play, but at the same time relaxes and helps to de-stress. Matatabi twigs are also recommended for cats that do not react to catnip (or have already become accustomed to its smell and have stopped paying attention to it) or valerian. The Zolux Matatabi Knot is a toy made of a matatabi stick, which ends with a bunch of strings on both sides. An additional advantage of the ETHI'CAT toys is the fact that they are made of natural or recycled materials. Remember that when your cat stops reacting to the smell of the toy, you should take it away so that your pet doesn't come into contact with it all the time. Served again the next day, it will give him just as much joy. If your cat loves to chew, the stick will also be perfect as a tooth cleaner. The rough structure will help to remove tartar and clean interdental spaces. The method of action and intensity is an individual matter and depends on many factors such as the age of the cat, activity or the state in which it is currently located.
