Post by: Dawn F on August 06, 2009, 09:37:38 AM: I've seen them in bengal books, although personally I wouldn't have bengal that couldn't go outside so wouldn't need it I can imagine that people with indoor bengals might like them to burn off a bit of the excess energy!

I agree but I haven't got the room for a tree in my living room and I haven't got $600 dollars either so they'll just have to jump up and down on the furniture as usual :)

Cheers

LOL! :rofl:

Can you imagine sitting there trying to watch TV with that trundling away in the background?!! :Crazy: I want to know where the other in the background (in the vid) was going - looked like he was climbing up the curtains LOL! :evillaugh:

Post by: Rosella moggy on August 09, 2009, 21:51:08 PM: Oh if only I could get Noni B to use one but not sure it would take her weight (hope JS doesn't see this post or I'm for it :shify:)

I think the main problem with these is the price. I can see perhaps kittens and high energy breeds giving it a "whirl" but not most cats and certainly not Noni B :-:

Post by: Gail Bengal Slave on August 13, 2009, 12:27:16 PM: WOW I think they are great and would love to get mine one - I think Zebedee would love it - but think they are on the pricey side. And having been made redundant cant really afford one.

Post by: sheryl on August 13, 2009, 13:34:59 PM: I know a Bengal breeder who makes them and charges about £300, if my next job is well paid (I can dream) I would definately consider getting one

Once I get a new job - if it is in the same pay bracket I will ask you for that Bengal Breeder name and Treat my Boys - dont think Thai would use it though.
