Title: What do peeps think of this?
Post by: Tan on July 10, 2009, 12:39:52 PM
New product by Bergen, the makers of the turbo's and Track and i am wondering wether to try it out on the shop? Made in USA.

It is called the Scratch Furniture Lounger.
It's a pulp addiction thing! Cats love scratching and lounging on pulp! The new Pulp Scratch Lounger is made from 100% postconsumer recycled materials with no harmful glues or chemicals. The lounger is perfect for napping or scratching, and provides a great distraction from clawing on furniture. The simple fluid design is lightweight and inexpensive. Item Dimensions (LxWxH) 16.25" x 27.00" x 8.50". (quite big)

Price for each will be about £9 or £10 plus shipping.

Brill thanks for your thoughts hunnies  ;D

Thanks Sam for finding that i always look to see if there is anything similar to a new product being sold in UK, one to see what they sell at and two if there are many similar items, we prob wouldn't stock it. Purrs shop tend to specialize in stuff not readily available in UK.  That one does look the most close to the lounger and sells at £21.99 plus 4.99 postage.

It's quite large 27 inches by 16.25 inches but light weight and will most prob sell at £9.99 plus shipping which for the large size but light weight i would say about £3.25 1st class but i would need to weigh it boxed to ship.

I will order some in my next USA order see how we go with it and of course my lads will have to try it out!!  :sneaky: :evillaugh:

I would definitely buy that for my Noah and his sensitive paws! There do seem to be other products on the market, but they are more expensive and don't look so comfortable.

Tan ended up ordering a couple from the US but as the shop is run from her spare room (in her spare time!) they were a bit bulky to store so she ended up giving them away to the winner of a 'spot the ball' type competition on a thread on here.

Fear not though, Janey (who won one of them) will be donating hers to the Purrs Christmas Auction  :wow:
