silvervine

Asian climbing plant

Silvervine is an Asian climbing plant whose leaves and fruit contain compounds that induce euphoric, catnip-like responses in cats.

Cat owners use dried silvervine sticks or powder as treats and enrichment: The cat went crazy for the silvervine.

The plant is also cultivated for its edible fruit, related to kiwi.
