A fun artifact that makes cats unable to resist
Cat's ‘Double Pleasure Teething Ball’
Polygonum multiflorum is known as the ‘Double Star of Cat Pleasure’, along with catnip. Not only is it naturally attractive, but it also cleanses cats' mouths as they chew on it, making it the perfect combination of health and fun.
The magic of Polygonum multiflorum: why does it drive cats crazy?
The seductive power of Polygonum Multiflorum comes from its unique active ingredient: kiwiine
Similar to thujaplicin in catnip, kiwiine activates olfactory receptors in cats, triggering pleasurable signals in the brain and provoking euphoric behaviours such as rolling around, rubbing the face, and drooling.
Stronger coverage: about 80% of cats are sensitive to Polygonum multiflorum (higher than catnip's 50%-70%), and cats that do not respond to catnip in particular may be ‘conquered’ by Polygonum multiflorum.
Dual stimulation mode
Polygonum multiflorum contains active ingredients in both the fruit and the vine, and has a stronger odour when dried. It can be ground up and filled into toys or supplied as a natural branch to chew on.
Long-lasting anxiety relief: the pheromone-like pheromones released when chewing on Polygonum tinctorium can relieve stress in cats, especially in stressful scenarios such as moving house or competing with multiple cats.
The secret of dental cleaning
Not only is Polygonum tinctorium a source of joy, it is also a natural dental aid:
Fibre friction removes stains
Polygonum tinctorium is hard and fibre-rich after drying, and the friction caused by cats chewing on it effectively scrapes away plaque and reduces the formation of calculus, which is the culprit of bad breath and periodontal disease in cats.
Antibacterial Ingredients Plus
The natural polyphenols in Polygonum multiflorum inhibit the growth of oral bacteria and reduce the risk of gingivitis, giving it a health advantage over ordinary wood.
Intelligent hardness design
The hardness of Polygonum multiflorum branches is between wood and rubber, which meets the needs of gnawing and chewing without excessively abrading the teeth (especially suitable for kittens and older cats during the period of tooth replacement).
Catnip + Polygonum multiflorum: Super CP for pleasure and health
Combining Polygonum multiflorum branches with catnip (e.g. Polygonum multiflorum sticks wrapped around a catnip ball) enables:
✅ Odour attraction: catnip stimulates the desire to play and Polygonum multiflorum prolongs arousal time.
✅ Active cleaning: cats naturally grind their teeth during gnawing, reducing resistance to artificial brushing.
✅ Behaviour modification: Reduces problems such as furniture scratching and excessive fur licking by releasing stress.
Usage Guidelines
Frequency Control: Provide 2-3 times a week to avoid over-indulgence affecting eating.
Observe the reaction: If the cat has vomiting or diarrhoea, it may be over nibbling and need to suspend use.
Tip:
Veterinary studies have shown that nibbling on Muktiengumi for 10 minutes a day can reduce the risk of dental disease by 60%.
Keeping your cat healthy while having fun is the only way to win!
