I know a Bengal breeder who makes them and charges about £300, if my next job is well paid (I can dream) I would definately consider getting one

Once I get a new job - if it is in the same pay bracket I will ask you for that Bengal Breeder name and Treat my Boys - dont think Thai would use it though.

WOW I think they are great and would love to get mine one - I think Zebedee would love it - but think they are on the pricey side. And having been made redundant cant really afford one.

Oh if only I could get Noni B to use one but not sure it would take her weight (hope JS doesn't see this post or I'm for it  :shify:

I think the main problem with these is the price.  I can see perhaps kittens and high energy breeds giving it a "whirl" but not most cats and certainly not Noni B  :-:

Yes but what do the cat's do? or do they wave it around for you?  ;D

LOL!  :rofl:

Can you imagine sitting there trying to watch TV with that trundling away in the background?!!   :Crazy: I want to know where the other in the background (in the vid) was going - looked like he was climbing up the curtains LOL!  :evillaugh:

I prefer to see them in trees thank you  :naughty:

I agree but I haven't got the room for a tree in my living room and I haven't got $600 dollars either so they'll just have to jump up and down on the furniture as usual :)

Cheers

I've seen them in bengal books, although personally I wouldn't have bengal that couldn't go outside so wouldn't need it I can imagine that people with indoor bengals might like them to burn off a bit of the excess energy!

Our Bengal breeder has got these exercise wheels and the cats love them - I would have one if I could afford it and had the space  :Crazy:

DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain
