A fun and potent alternative to catnip!
Meowy Janes Valerian Root is a perfect alternative for cats who don’t react to catnip.
For cats who love catnip, it can be a fun way to switch up a regular playtime routine!
Meowy Janes Valerian Root is the coarsely chopped root of Valeriana Officinalis, a flowering plant with sweetly scented white or pink flowers that grows around the world. It has been used as a medicinal herb for humans since the time of ancient Greece and Rome.
Cats love the root of this plant! It contains two naturally occurring essential oils- actinidine and valeric acid. Valeric acid acts similarly to a cat pheromone, while actinidine is structurally similar to the nepetalactone in catnip. Cats react to actinidine similarly to how most react to catnip… with great enthusiasm!
Cats will find the stinky cheese, hint of mint, wet earth-esque scent of Valerian root irresistible. The smell can be a little pungent at first, but up close it smells nice! Your cat will especially think so.
What Makes it Different?
- All natural and highly potent cat stimulant that affects cats in a unique way
- Promotes play to relieve anxiety and boredom in house cats.
- Popularly used by humans as a relaxing herbal supplement- yet acts as a cat stimulant!

Interesting stuff. I’m not a fan of the smell so much (think natural health food store meets teenage boys room) but my cat sure is. He immediately gravitates towards his tree that he never uses otherwise when I add a pinch of this.

Has a strong smell. My cats like it, but they also like catnip, so I’ll use this sparingly to give them some variety.
