New product cat play/scratch activity center
Quite large novelty play center with sisal scratching on towers and drawbridge and sleeping holes etc.

Cats need to wear down their claws so that they don’t break or get ripped out. This scratching castle offers your cat the possibility to play and to act out her natural scratching habits without taking it out on your furniture and carpets.
Details:
toy castle for cats
with plush cover
with sisal scratching surface
castle completely fitted with plush
2 towers and 1 castle can be joined together with Velcro (can also be stood separately)
diverse entrances and exits
two flags with a toy on an elastic band
Recomneded retail price is £130

I personally do not think it is worth £130. I am currently looking into eventually replaying my large activity centre and have been looking at solid wood posts on the activity centres and some of these can be bought for £130 which I think is much better value for money. I think this particular item has been over-priced for it's gimmickyness (sp).
Edited to add - I also personally do not like it.

I must say i wouldn't want it in my house, I prefer cat trees to blend in a bit that is a bit too in your face for me

Same here too :doh:
-
apart from not liking it i agree with lesley, its way over priced
-
I love it but like Lesley it is quite pricey. Can't really see what sort of quality it is so if it is brilliant quality maybe I'd be more tempted (finances allowing). It does look like fun though ;)
-
I think the little sleepy holes are sweet, but it is an awful lot of money for what it is and I do think there are better products on the market. It would make a great competition prize though! ;D
-
Fun, but WAAYYY too much money. Still think you should look into the pirate ships. ;) I like these too:

Too big and too expensive. A lot of the activity centres are nice to look at, but you need huge houses in order to accommodate them. Even if it wasn't that much, I'd have noooooo space to put it :scared:
-
Pricey I also think :shy: Would be good to have in the garden if it was weather proof :)
Its a shame Tan you couldn't find out where some sellers on ebay get theirs from, there are some really cool ones on there and thats where I look for mine, would be easier if they were to be found here ;)
I actually think its quite small for the price :shy:
-
It's the type of thing that I think looks cool when you see in the shops etc 8) but then when you get it home you realise that it really ain't so great....... :doh:
-
I have to say that I don't really like it either. If I was going to pay that much for an activity centre I'd probably get one of the banana leaf tree ones, or a really sturdy quality wooden one. I don't think it looks like brilliant quality, and probably costs more because it's a novelty.
-
:) I agree with ya all. Thanks just confirmed my thoughts :)
:hug: :hug:

Would you need planning permission for something of this size? :rofl:

I recall seeing a picture of Minimopsical as a kitten in one of the turrets.

Not nice and too expensive. If you've got one for a free sample you could put it in the 2010 Auction :naughty: :rofl: :rofl:
