Shady Cat- Matatabi Sticks

These fun little sticks are actually the branches of the Silver vine bush! We bind three sticks with natural fiber twine in each order. The very center of the stick is white. That is the good stuff cats crave- the silver vine running through the plant to the fruits! (How it ends up being orange/brown is beyond me, but cats LOVE it so who cares) The best part of these very inexpensive "toys" are that they help to clean the nasty tartar off of their teeth! Cats and poor dental hygiene is a nightmare. Dental work at a vet is traumatizing for a cat and VERY EXPENSIVE! If your customer's kitty is kind of "eh" about the sticks, tell them to strip a bit off of the bark to freshen up the stick. Sticks don't expire or go bad- cats will play, then ignore for a couple weeks and then play some more. No kitten zone. At approx. 1 year of age, instincts should kick in and they will spit out any pieces of bark too big to swallow.
