For hundreds of years, silver vine sticks have been used in Asia to increase cats’ heart rates. And now they have come to Europe! These Aumüller Silver Vine Cat Sticks, also known as matatabi, belong to the kiwi tree family and originate from Asia, predominantly in China and Japan. These natural, dried Aumüller Silver Vine Cat Sticks have a real effect on your cat, animating it to play and encouraging an active lifestyle. When the outer layer of the stick is broken through chewing or scratching, the effect is increased.

Good to know
- Ask your vet before giving treats to a cat on a veterinary diet, as the wrong snack can undo the diet.
- Use creamy lickable treats from the sachet to keep a cat busy during grooming, claw clipping or giving a tablet.
- Break freeze-dried treats into small pieces: the cat gets as many rewards for far fewer calories.
Common questions
Do malt pastes help with hairballs?
Malt pastes are complementary feeds designed to help swallowed hair pass through the gut, and many owners use them for long-haired cats. Regular brushing reduces the amount of hair swallowed in the first place. If your cat retches often or brings up hairballs frequently, see your vet.
How many treats can I give my cat a day?
A common guideline is that treats should be no more than about 10 per cent of daily calories. Check the pack, which usually gives a maximum per day by body weight, and reduce meals slightly if your cat has treats every day.
