Actinidia sp. (silvervine) branches for keeping teeth clean

[JOJI and Kit]

I stumbled upon a way to help keep Kit's teeth clean, and thought others might be interested. Apparently, a woody vine which is easily grown is very appealing to cats, and chewing on the branches helps to keep their teeth clean. Most species commercially sold for this purpose (https://www.chewy.com/meowijuana-ki...ium=cpc&utm_content=Meowijuana&utm_campaign=f) are from Actinidia polygama, but I've read that Actinidia kolomikta is great as well. Kit is taking to her branches. I thought others might want to look into this.

I tried the powdered form as an alternative to catnip. None of my cats cared for it or the sticks either.

Raw chicken neck pieces on the other hand were a hit. Even with my mostly toothless civie Dancer.

I'm interested in the raw for teeth health but I'm a little squeamish to watch our baby girl tear into it
