I was thinking of geting one for my fat kylie. So are they worth it? Must thing I buy are just ignored. I bought a scratching tower a few weeks ago and none of them were interested. I wouldn't mind but it was an ugly thing in luminous green fun-fur. Luckily Sharon at Canterbury CP has a fosterer that needed one - I am wary of buying anything - the only worthwhile things I have are 1. A laser pointer, 2. The mouse that comes in the "good girl" xmas stocking (long hair means they can pick it up with their claws and throw it across the room) an 3. a piece of string.
