Was drooling over the activity centres on catscratchers.com last night!  ;)
LOVE the pagoda model, I need to buy a floor to ceiling affair as the rabble have a need to get high and theres not much opportunity downstairs.
My boys are also massive, (at least 7kg) so the pagoda might not be stable enough  :(, needs a wider base.....

I have one of these bought it from zooplus its great nice and tidy in the lounge the hanging mouse only lasted a day though and I only paid 29 pounds new for it, stock clearance :)

Does anyone know if this would be big enough for cats of just over 6kg each? They seem to dwarf most other things  . . . . . I've seen them on Zooplus for £34.90 and was thinking about buying one but may well wait to see how this auction goes as I am in Brighton . . . . . although let me know if anyone is thinking of bidding for Ron and, if so, I won't bid!  :)

I reckon the Ancol Fat Boy is tough to beat. My portly persian and 7.5kg BSH both love it and it's strong enough for a person to sit on! If you shop around you can buy it for around £25 and it doesn't look shredded within a week

I have had really good scratchers from these people at cat shows -www.catscratchers.com ( Russell Hardy ) and they last for years .

Seriously, another tower or scratcher is probably the last thing Ron needs in his pens now thinking about it.

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

The last one I bought was totally ignored and is now gracing a foster pen so I'm not buying any more  :evillaugh:

I was lucky though as I got it in a pet shop closing down sale along with a Whiskas bed. This was also ignored. I ended up getting more than I paid for both for the Whiskas bed on Ebay  :evillaugh:

Cats are like little bundles of razor blades wrapped in soft fur.

Also, thinking about it, Ron probably doesn't have room for another scratcher - he has quite a few already. His blind cat indoors might like it though  :)
