This silvervine powder worked really well for my cat. My orange moggy is quite anxious and naturally very skittish, so she often hides when the doorbell rings or when visitors come over. She also does not react to catnip at all, so I was really curious to see whether silvervine would make any difference for her. I am very glad I gave this a try.The best method I found was to take a very small pinch between my finger and thumb and gently rub it first to help release the oils. She usually takes an initial sniff, then backs away for a moment because it can be a little strong for sensitive noses, so I would definitely recommend starting with a very small amount and letting your cat approach it in their own time. Once she settled into it, the difference was really lovely to see. She became much more relaxed, snuggly and comfortable, and started rolling around happily.What impressed me most was the effect it seemed to have on her confidence after being startled. A delivery driver rang the doorbell that same morning, and normally she would run off and hide for anywhere between 20 minutes and 2 hours. This time she did run into one of the bedrooms at first, but once I had answered the door and walked back to the living room, she came straight back out into the hallway and followed me. For my cat, that is a very noticeable change.In terms of quality, this seems fresh and effective, and it clearly had the desired result. The scent is definitely quite strong, which is probably why it works so well, but that also means a little goes a long way. Pet enjoyment is easily the standout point here, because my cat genuinely seemed to love it. Value for money also seems very good, since you only need a tiny pinch at a time, so the pack should last a while. The packaging is simple and neat, but I do think the instructions could be clearer.That is my only real criticism. The packaging is not very clear about dosage or frequency of use, and I think that would be especially helpful for first-time buyers. Small quantities are definitely best, and this is something I would only use occasionally rather than every day.Final verdict: I am really happy with this and will definitely keep using it as an occasional treat for my cat. It is especially good as an alternative for cats who do not respond to catnip. Seeing her visibly relax, roll around, and recover much more quickly after a stressful noise was genuinely impressive. I would happily recommend it to other cat owners, particularly those with anxious or timid cats.Ratings: Quality: 4/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆Scent: 4/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆Pet enjoyment: 5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Value for money: 5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Durability: 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Appearance: 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆

I was really looking forward to my cat trying this silver vine leaf powder as he absolutely loves silver vine sticks and catnip. Unfortunately he just wasn’t interested in this product, despite me trying it on different toys and at different times of the day. The powder smells fresh with quite a strong scent - a bit like grass and it comes in a strong resealable bag. I love that this is a natural product, I’m just disappointed Ozzy didn’t love it too.

Silver Vine is an alternative to Catnip, this pouch by "Cat FurNature" is not quite so powdery as some I've tried in the past (a good thing in my opinion), it's still very fine though, and made from the leaves of the plant. It has the same stimulant effects as catnip and as with catnip brands how your cat/s react to it varies. I've never tried this brand of Silvervine before so I treated my cats to some. The Cat FurNature brand Silvervine powder comes in a thick foil lined pouch which helps keep the product fresh, and has a handy presslock top for re-sealing the pouch. I've found that sturdy packaging also helps stop the cats from helping themselves when I'm not looking! The powder itself looks fresh and green with a pleasant smell. There are instructions on the back of the packet.I literally only showed the packet to the cats and they were sniffing and rubbing it before it was even open. Once I opened it.. it was hilarious! I managed to take a few pics - one of my girls grabbed at the bag with her paw then she is pulling such a funny face - looks like she's going to go cross-eyed after one sniff!! they eat it, sniff it roll around in it and play like crazy, one of them races around the house. Here are pics of two of my girls enjoying theirs. It really will depend on your cat though as not all react so strongly (same as with catnip) you have to find what they like. Mine absolutely love this brand of Silvervine, much more than other brands they've tried. They love it more than their catnip at the moment too!There is 30g in this pouch, you only need to use a small pinch on toys or on their scratch posts etc at a time so it should last quite long (depending on how many cats you have). The original price was £9.99 which I thought was still a bit too expensive even though this is an excellent quality product, but the current price is £7.99 which I think is fine and I agree with my kitties that this is worth 5 stars. I'll be treating them to some more in the future.

Just sprinkle a pinch on a favourite cat toy, or scratching board.- Quality:/Durability: Good, strong potency. Lasts a while.My findings/experience of the product:* Silver vine is an alternative to catnip that is supposed to send cats into a frenzy.* The minute I opened the bag of silver vine my tom cat was up trying to chew his way through the edge of the bag to get to the powder.* I have 2 cats and I sprinkled a wee bit on my girl cat’s favourite scratching board toy, and one on my tom cat’s favourite play toy.* Both my cats went crazy scratching and rolling around in the powder.* My tom cat who is the one who loves catnip & silver vine the most, was rolling around the floor like a drug addict, and kept rubbing himself all over his soft toy and then chewing it.* 3 days after sprinkling the silver vine my tom cat is still scratching at his toy. Some of the powder must have gotten into the carpet, because he is rubbing on & clawing at the carpet still.Value for money: No.At the time of ordering the product was priced at £9.99. I think that is a little too high a price for this product.

My cat love it and more than cat nip,
