Cat already has Hexbugs for Christmas too, so I don't think they can suck me in with any more cat rubbish.

Don't be tempted by the £14.99 scratching post - Zooplus have one the same size for £9.99 that I've recently bought two of.

What, if you don't mind me asking, are Hexbugs?

They're little robots:

They were originally designed for kids, but my cat loves them too. They walk around and change direction by themselves, he is fascinated with them

Not my cat, but you get the idea https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAsGCJmX_w4

They have since brought out versions for cats specifically, but the normal ones work just as well.

I just bought him this set from this deal:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hexbug-nano-v2-sky-max-9-00-down-from-26-tesco-s-click-collect-2055980

Because the track will fit together with the one he already has, and it contains a V2 Hexbug. The V2's can walk upwards and upside down in a tube track!

My cat gets to play with the wrapping paper and ribbons once we've opened the presents :rotfl: keeps her busy for days...

Can't go wrong with a screwed up piece of paper Especially if it has catnip inside

Checking into my favourite MSE thread, it would be rude not to really


I noticed the cat fountain they have up this year was the cheap one, not the deluxe one. Can't say I am fussed though, the deluxe one made my at ill anyway!

Have I missed anything worth seeing? Any socks or Kitchen Aids? :P

The deluxe fountain has had a redesign, so I am hoping it will come up later. We have one at the moment but I think the pump may be on the way out.

Thank you for the heads up About the only thing that could tempt me I think, at least scratching posts are practical

Admittedly the Zooplus version doesn't have a ball on top:

Not convinced that's worth a five though.

Our three Ragdolls just eat through the string within minutes anyway. :mad:

Which one is it? I think I missed that. Just seen there is a ceramic one. That's the only one that could tempt me, if it truly has no plastic parts. My cat ended up with a allergy to the bacteria that grows on plastic.

I think the pumps in the fountains are just fish tank pumps, if that helps? You might be able to pick a new one up.

That's a good price for such a tall one Mine is looking pretty sad now, it's all fluffy and the string is moving downwards. I am going to bookmark that for later, thanks

Thanks for that I'll have a look.

The redesign is the Platinum Drinkwell, http://www.amazon.co.uk/PetSafe-Drinkwell-Platinum-Pet-Fountain/dp/B004ZPARQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416930717&sr=8-1&keywords=drinkwell+platinum , it is still plastic though.
