4Cats Toys

Valerian toys are very popular with cats and their surprising reaction to it often poses questions for cat owners. A lot of cat owners ask themselves how such enthusiasm for valerian can be explained and whether their cats can be harmed by playing with the fragrant toys. There are a lot of articles on the net which unfortunately are of little value.

4cats valerian products are filled with the pure, natural root of real valerian (valeriana officinalis) which man has used with great success against insomnia, anxiety and all forms of complaints since antiquity. The consumption of valerian has a tranquilising effect both on man and animals. Your furry friend does not, however, take in the valerian root (valerianae radix) through our toys but just the intense smell.

Cats cuddle up to the filled toys, lick them, play passionately with them or rub their bodies against them. Many cats roll about on the floor out of sheer ecstasy, others enjoy it in peace and bury their heads enthusiastically deep into the cushion or another valerian toy.The reason for this power of attraction is the actinidin contained in the valerian root, which can also be found in catnip. The fragrance of the valerian root only works on cats for a few minutes (approx. 5-20 min.). This is followed by the so-called refractory phase, a period of at least 30 to 120 minutes during which a cat no longer reacts to the fragrant material contained in the valerian.The cat returns to its normal daily routine and the toy becomes uninteresting. There is no lasting exhilaration or even addiction from repeated enjoyment of the smell of valerian. Neither are there any withdrawal symptoms.

The use of valerian as a stimulant for cats was not discovered by man. In the wild cats have been captivated by "cat herb" for centuries.
