🌿 Catnip
Plant: Nepeta cataria
Primary Active Compound:
Nepetalactone
The foundation of the formula and the most recognizable cat attractant. Catnip is easy to grow, highly productive, and provides a strong response in many cats.
Research & Development Division
The Stoned Cats Laboratory
Deep inside the Stoned Cats Research Facility, our team of highly trained plushie scientists works tirelessly to develop the ultimate cat toy formula using four of nature's most famous feline attractants.
The Four Plant Formula
Most cat toys contain only catnip. At Stoned Cats, we wanted to create something better. Different cats respond to different compounds, so our formula combines four natural plants that contain multiple cat-attracting chemicals.
By blending Catnip, Valerian, Silver Vine, and Tatarian Honeysuckle, we create a broader range of scents and active compounds than any single plant can provide.
The Research Plants
🌸 Valerian
Plant: Valeriana officinalis
Primary Active Compounds:
Actinidine
Valerenic Acid
Valerian provides a different scent profile and can attract cats that show little interest in catnip.
🍃 Silver Vine
Plant: Actinidia polygama
Primary Active Compounds:
Actinidine
Dihydronepetalactone
Many cats that do not respond to catnip respond strongly to silver vine. It is one of the most powerful natural cat attractants known.
🌳 Tatarian Honeysuckle
Plant: Lonicera tatarica
Primary Active Compounds:
Iridoid Glycosides
The wood contains aromatic compounds that many cats enjoy and provides another layer of attraction.
🧪 Why Use Four Plants?
Every cat is different. Some respond best to catnip, others prefer silver vine, valerian, or honeysuckle.
Combining all four increases the chance that a cat will find the toy interesting and engaging.
🐾 Lab Approved
