Awwwww, doesn't it make it worthwhile when you buy them a wee pressie & they actually use/like it!

Now really tempted to get one! Popped in yesterday hoping they'd have one built to look at (no) and refrained from buying one - had a quick look on Gum*tree and saw one for £20 (much bigger) but the person's never got back to me ..... think another trip to L may be in order!

Jojo they're pretty heavy and (I think) are quite an awkward size to carry - how far a walk between shop / bus stop / bus stop /home is it? Do you know anyone who could give you a lift? (in return for fuel money)

Box said it was 14 kg. Its a bit awkward to carry, long and skinny. Fonzie is a big lad and was even able to get into the square den.

That's why I hoped one would be built:

Archie's a very big lad too - the ladder one looks like it may be more stable (an extra leg) but the round den looks quite a bit smaller.

Think it'll be the hammock one for me too! (Providing there's any left on Monday!)

As an earlier post, I found my "ideal" one on Zoo+ - mainly as it looks very sturdy and has 2 dens: http://www.zooplus.co.uk/shop/cats/scratching_posts/medium/15128

However, a bit too expensive at the minute so had a trawl around eb*y and found the same one.

Watched a few auctions and they were going for between £25 and £30 (+ nearly £10 delivery) so around the same price as the L*dl ones.

Thought I'd try a couple and see what happens - course the prices started to shoot up as soon as I started bidding and they were going for £38 - 41:eek: (+ p&p).

Kept in there and finally got one yesterday:j - was going to be out all day so stuck in a max bid of £30 and got it for £21. Must've been lucky as the auctions either side of mine went for £38 and £39 so maybe people missed this one (not that I'm complaining).:)

Should arrive tomorrow so will hopefully keep me occupied during the day (still raining here) - may have to have a major re-organisation of furniture to fit it in!

If the wee "darlings" use it, I'll post a pic!:D (they better, or else .....).

hi just wanted to say be carefull if you buy the extendable dog lead .
took our 5 month old puppy for a walk and as soon as it extended all the way it snapped .
luckily we were only up the road and he saw our cat so chased it up the road into our house so he was ok but just wanted to warn anyone else to check x
