Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) affects cats in a similar way to catnip - it stimulates the senses, puts the cat in a euphoric mood and encourages play. The intense scent of valerian root is irresistible to most cats.
Poducha Walerianucha is ideal as an everyday toy - cats love to cuddle it, toss it, kick it with their hind legs and wrestle with it. After play it is worth putting the toy away so that it keeps its attractive scent for longer.
How to use it - 4 steps
- Give the cushion to the cat for free play. The 65 x 100 mm size is just right for cuddling, tossing and kicking with the hind legs. Play should take place under the owner's supervision.
- Let the full reaction cycle happen. At first the valerian scent puts the cat in a euphoric mood and encourages intense movement (even in less active cats), and after a few minutes it helps the cat relax.
- After play, put the cushion in an airtight bag. This limits the evaporation of essential oils - the scent stays intense for several weeks of use.
- Check the condition of the toy regularly. A damaged cushion (an open seam, a bitten cover) should be thrown away - the filling is not intended for consumption.

Frequently asked questions
Is valerian safe for cats?
Yes, dried valerian root is completely safe for cats. It works similarly to catnip - it stimulates the senses, puts the cat in a euphoric mood and encourages active play. The effect lasts a few minutes and is completely harmless.
What is inside the Poducha Walerianucha cushion?
The filling is dried, ground valerian root (one teaspoon, about 2-3 g) and wheat grains, which give the cushion a pleasant weight and springiness. The cover is sewn from 100% cotton.
How is valerian different from catnip?
Both plants have a euphoric effect on cats, but through different aromatic compounds. Some cats do not react to catnip at all, and it is exactly these cats that often react clearly to valerian. A pet shop benefits from stocking both types of toys, because they complement each other for different cats.
How long does the valerian scent last?
The valerian scent in the cushion lasts for several weeks of intensive use. To refresh it, gently knead the cushion in your hands, and after each play session put it back in an airtight bag.
Why is the colour of the cushion random?
We sew the covers following the zero waste idea - from good-quality cotton fabric remnants that would otherwise go to waste. That is why the colour and pattern of each cushion is a surprise, and the product has a smaller environmental footprint.
Is the cushion suitable for kittens?
The toy is also safe for young cats, but a clear reaction to valerian usually appears only in adult cats - kittens may simply treat the cushion as a soft toy to wrestle with. Play should always take place under the owner's supervision.
How should the cushion be stored between play sessions?
After play, put the cushion in an airtight bag (for example a zip-lock bag). This limits the evaporation of essential oils from the valerian root and noticeably extends the time the toy stays attractive to the cat.
When should the cushion be replaced?
Check the toy regularly - cats wrestle with it using their teeth and claws. If a seam opens or the cover is bitten through, the toy should be thrown away so that the cat does not eat the filling. The product is not intended for consumption.
