Abstract: According to various embodiments of the invention, stimulants are provided that result in euphoric behavior in certain animals, such as felines. Specifically, according to one embodiment, the animal stimulant is obtained by a process comprising: growing an actinidia polygama to fruition; increasing a concentration of matatabilactones within fruit of the actinidia polygama; extracting moisture from the fruit; and grounding the fruit into a fine powder. In some embodiments, the animal stimulant is specially tailored for use with feline animals.
