Is there a spare tent left?  I know I'm a bit late to this party, so suspect they've all been spoken for  :doh:

They actually had some fairly nasty practices themselves as selling the mummies so worshippers could make an offering was a fairly profitable business if you get my drift...

......and the death penalty for killing a cat.

They should bring that law back

They are called BÄSTIS

Swedish for Bast, the name of the goddess whose worship involved the mummification of cats and the raising of those glorious statues of cats with earings that are a feature of egyptian art.

Please see warning on em's thread. Don't put them against a wall unless you want a cat with a sore head!

My pair aren't interested in play much now they're old, unless I join in!

Isn't that £140 worth of cat tent?? Everyone probably saw your trolley and thought they must have missed some extreme special offer  :rofl:

I'm just wondering how many IKEA's store manager's going to order in now; he thinks he's got a mega seller on his hands. What silly Swedish fake name do they have, so I can tell da Max he's getting a Knoplingfors or something lol  ;D

That's great!! Silly woman in the queue, what's wrong with buying 28 cat tents lol er  :Crazy:  :Crazy: We're all goin' on a summer....cat.....holiday?! :)

Max the Tented Mad One would prefer red IF there's a red one going that can be segregated for his primitive little self. Actually......OH would prefer red as it's more of a colour scheme in the mess, sorry the 'lounge'.
Really grateful to you for sparing me the horror journey and awfulness of IKEA xxxx

I got them... got all stock of 28 so think there will be enough for all. Maaaaaaaaad!! Can always take back if they don't all go! One women in the queue had to ask what they were as my trolley was full. LOL! Needless to say I got a strange look! Was cheeky enough to ask for discount but the meanies said 'no'.

Could you let me know what colour you would like as I have red & blue, but more blue. Also, can you e-mail or IM me your address please for those who haven't done so. Thanks.

Will mail out tomorrow so won't know postage costs till then.

Ooooo & I saw Chas Dingle (Emmerdale) with her little girl.

No probs swamp. They come in a sealed bag but will still keep it seperate for you. I understand.

Thunder here now & cats jumped out of their beds.. so will have to wait till that calms before I go.

Oooh just one thing purrlease - could you keep 'my' one away from any other cats or cat smells as otherwise Max may um, pee on it. He's totally primitive about other animal smells. If that's going to be too difficult, please just let me know.
thanks again :) :)

Thanks soooo much Sue. . My nearest Ikea is in London so at least 2 hours away drive and prob all day to cycle so this is such a brill thing ya doing.

Could i be naughty and ask for two? One for garden and one for inside  ;D Def will cover everything with something for you too. Actually ya could buy them all and sell em for a couple of quid more to make a profit for yourself.  ;D 

I can do paypal, chq, bank transfer so whatever way you would like to be paid and let me know how much ya want for the two hun.

You are a star  :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:.

Will Pm ya my addy.

Good idea  :wow: Maybe if I buy another tent I will be allowed to post more pics  :sneaky:  There was a choice of colours so thinking about it I really should get a red one too  :evillaugh:
