Post by: Mojo on July 17, 2007, 12:11:31 PM: Hi there, just had a look at the tent on the website-they look really nice!!

Are you able to get one for me? The nearest Ikea store to me is wednesbury, but it still takes over an hour to get there. How do we go about sending etc?
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: swampmaxmum on July 17, 2007, 12:16:41 PM: I'm also over a hour from IKEA. Would love a tent if you really can do that - thank you! :thanks: How do we organise this? Will check back in in an hour.
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today

Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Purrlishious on July 17, 2007, 12:18:30 PM: Hi mojo
If you e-mail me your address I will post it then you can send me a cheque. Postage souldn't be much as tent is only light.
Are you excited???
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Sabrina (Auferstehen) on July 17, 2007, 12:19:47 PM: How much are these tents again?

My OH hates going to Ikea unless its for bookcases (we only have about 15 so far). And I have to let him go into the Toy's R Us next door.
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Purrlishious on July 17, 2007, 12:22:45 PM: Tents £5 Auferstehen. We must live near each other as it's Birstall I'm going to. Won't be able to get bookcase for you tho :rofl:
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Mojo on July 17, 2007, 12:24:20 PM: Hi Purrlichous,

I have just sent you a personal email with my address on it. Thanks so much for getting me one, will send payment ASAP!!!!

Mojo :thanks:
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Sabrina (Auferstehen) on July 17, 2007, 12:25:22 PM: I'm out near Castleford, and thank goodness you can't pick up another bookcase.

Put me down for one as I don't see us getting back to the four letter word as my OH calls it for a while, we went in May and came back with 2 bookcases ;)
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: swampmaxmum on July 17, 2007, 12:27:32 PM: I'm too excited, yup, so checked straight back in. Are you sure it's ok to take quite a few tent orders for our furry little bedouins? Max is a tent fanatic.
I'll email you - would you like me to post you a cheque before you post the tent, otherwise you'll run up quite a bill at the PO. What about p&p costs? Thank you!!!!!

darn, was going to ask you to pick up a rug or two as well to replace the Much Puked On By Felines IKEA ones :)
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Cheesecat on July 17, 2007, 12:28:07 PM: Is he starting a library? :Crazy:

I really need to get to IKEA and pick one of these up before they stop doing them!
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Purrlishious on July 17, 2007, 12:35:33 PM: Think I might need a big trolley!! Shall I just buy them all???

Don't mind getting them swamp as I know what it's like to get babes a new toy.... don't know if it's for 'them' of for 'us'. Cheque will be ok after you get it as don't know what postage will be yet.
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: swampmaxmum on July 17, 2007, 12:38:20 PM: ok bless you. Hope they still have stock! Haven't said anything to Max yet just in case ;)
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Tiggy's Mum on July 17, 2007, 12:39:05 PM: I don't need one as got the boys one at the weekend but I just wanted to say what a lovely kind thing you're doing Purrlishious :hug:
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Cheesecat on July 17, 2007, 12:42:31 PM: Yes, I meant to say that too Helen - it is very nice - we will have to have an "our cats camping photos" thread :) :)

Post by: Purrlishious on July 17, 2007, 20:55:16 PM: 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.
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: swampmaxmum on July 17, 2007, 22:15:38 PM: 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
Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Mojo on July 17, 2007, 22:33:43 PM: My god i can't believe you bought 28!!!!

Title: Re: Who would like IKEA cat tent? Going today
Post by: Purrlishious on July 20, 2007, 14:06:58 PM: Gill, I'm sorry about not recieving tent. I am sure I sent you 1. Would you mind letting me know your full name & address again as I dont seem to have it down on my list so that I can double check for you.

I have been in a bit of a state the last couple of days as my 4 1/2 month Bengal kitten became really poorly. I had him to the vets yesterday where we thought it was flu, but he deteriorated in the evening & @ 4am had him to the hospital. He was in constant pain, screaming with the least of movements, very lethargic, unable to use his back legs & floppy. He was keelling over. His neurological state was poor, he lost control of his bladder, then those horrible words FIP hit me. A blood test is to be sent to Glasgow to confirm this but it's weekend, then another week to wait for results & he's suffering.
He is a the vets now on a drip but not responding. He was dying in my arms this morning.... I cant bear this.. Now I am waiting for the vet to ring & ask me to come & put him to sleep.
I have 6 other cats but none are lap cats or really crave affection. He did, he would run to me to be picked up & loved & nestle under my face, he would snuggle up under the duvet with me all night...Poor love... this is just so cruel.

Post by: Cheesecat on July 20, 2007, 14:21:21 PM: I got one yesterday from IKEA :)
Sorry I couldn't get anyone else one, I don't have any extra cash really at the moment (I know you'd pay me back etc but its the week before payday so I am a bit strapped in the meantime!)

Cheese loves it - she sits in it and bops Doc and Gerti on the head if they come near her "house" :rofl:

Edit: Sorry just read the kitten post :( sending lots of healing love, :hug: and purrs xxxx
