Title: Great new toy from the Purrs shop - with pics of the boys of course!
Post by: Tiggy's Mum on August 14, 2009, 12:49:38 PM
Tan has added some great new toys to the Purrs shop recently... Decided to treat the boys to the cat activity fun board and it came today  :wow: The boys absolutely love it (well, OK maybe they love the dreamies treats hidden in it more  :evillaugh:) here's a few pics of them using their skill and intellect to get to the treats  ;D

Looks like a really good toy.

Lu couldn't figure the cups out at first but then he spotted how Riley was fishing the treats out and set to work on the other ones  :naughty:

I looks great fun and the boys look  :Luv2:

I am tempted but toys go unplayed with here. Willow played with the panic mosue about 3 times. I bought Alice one of those wooden things with the holes with balls inside ( trying to remember who got it for me?) when she first arrived. She used to rub against the corners  :tired: - then when she moved downstairs, I moved it to the basement where it sat ignored for over a year. Then Kylie peed in it a few weeks ago  :tired: - being wood, it wasn't really practical to wash so it went in the dustbin. Other than that, I would be tempted  :evillaugh:

Think it was Leigh who got the peek-a-prize for you? Mine is still played with daily, it's filled chock-a-block with toys of all shapes/descriptions and then I sprinkle in some Whiskas Temptations, they have great fun fishing the treats out. 

This is really sturdy and made from plastic so washable if Willow decides she likes it a bit toooo much! I think without the treats in it would hold little attraction but it's a good way of mentally stimulating them and also good to spread out dry food/treats as they can't gobble them down in seconds.

They're both sat next to it as I type looking pitifully at me as they've fished all the treats out, what a wicked Mummy I am  :naughty:

Mark, Vicky Halls is the one who set me on the path of getting one of these. As a behavioural tool it's fantastic for the more lethargic or older cats to keep their minds stimulated as it's meant to help them want to find or work for their food (which is what cats are meant to do on their own). It's also good for weight loss as I put Lexy's food in it rather than treats (she's not allowed any). Since I've been making an effort to make Lexy go find her dry food all over the house, with Slim Cat balls, Malcolm Mouse and now the cat board, together with being sneaky as to where I leave it, she's lost 500g.

I thought Lexy would struggle a bit and then ignore it as she tends to do that, but each time I put something there she's in it like a rocket.... a true sight to behold in this house as Lexy moves only at one pace.. her own..  :evillaugh:  Maybe something Alice might like.

Really regretting getting this now as it's costing me a fortune in treats, have gone through a bag of dreamies and a tub of Temptations in the 3 days I've had it!  :naughty:

Went in the cat cupboard to get another tub of temptations and found a tub of Felix crisp which I bought ages ago.  They're really light teeny treats with literally thousands in one tub so ideal to put in toys like this.  The boys haven't tried them before so I gave them a few to try and they love them so have just saved myself a fortune  ;D

:Luv:

Excellent idea Hannah  :evillaugh:
