Well, I finally managed to collect enough bog rolls to make the triangle. In the Basic Health section I read that you can encourage indoor cats to hone their hunting skills by making them this little pyramid (well more 2-dimensional) and hiding treats in it.
I have a video uploading right now, taken me ages to do it, but once its up will share. In the meantime here is my madam sniffing the camera whilst I a was trying to get a decent pic of the thing to show you.
:Luv:

Hi Tanni
Well it took forever and I landed up using kitchen roll too just cut in half. I used craft dots to hold it together that I use for cards and stuff. It seems like an age! Oh and I also got about 4 rolls from other people :evillaugh: I don't use that much bog roll so tooooooook fooooooorever!
Anyway here is the video. I put the triangle on floor and put 4 treats in around it and here is madam collecting each one. I love the first one she gets. Makes me giggle each time. This is now our nightime activity, but I use her dry food to get her to eat it! :ok:

:) I love the way her tail wags while she's thinking.

Oh Ruth thats fantasic ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I love it. Lex is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo adorable :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
I 've tried to get Gizzy to forage for his food but he just sits there with "i'm not doing that , put it back in my bowl" look!! Lex is such a good girl and doing exactly the right thing. Bless her paws :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
:thanks: Lexy is a good girl. Most of the time. But when it comes to food my girl doesn't mess about! Of course I must question how bright she is if she falls for the treat thing so easily. Either that or she's very clever and just knows a good thing when she sees it! :evillaugh:
I now need to find another project :rofl:
-
Awwww Lexy lady! :Luv: she is gorgeous Ruth :)
I really want to make one of these now! better start saving!! :rofl:
-
That vidoe is fascinating and Lexy is so gentle getting out the treats ;D
I can imagine Misa and Sasa just knocking it over, giving it a kick and noshing them on floor :rofl: :rofl:
-
Think I'll have to make one of those for Maxy, although I have a feeling that he won't be quite so delicate as Lexy, and will just pull the whole thing over to get the treats more easily :evillaugh:
-
Cool, I love this idea!
Our toilet roll tubes go in the recycling so I should have tons in there. Can just picture Tigger taking a running jump and squashing the whole thing though :-:
-
Oh that is sooo cute!!!!..Bless her
Think mine would probably be more interested in the Loo roll than the treats!
How did you manage to post the video !?

Ditto :rofl:
Lexy is clever Ruth, she is very gentle isn't she :Luv:
-
Cute!
I would say Lexy is right-pawed, wouldnt you?
-
How cute! ;D
I'd make one of them for my boys but I suspect Mosi would trash it in 5 minutes
-
Just fab Ruth :Luv:
Think I'd need to buy all the toilet roll in Tescos to make some for my lot :evillaugh:
-
Video is great.....Lexy is soooo clever.....also loved the narration ;)
-
Loved the video, bless Lexy for being so delicate with her new toy :Luv: Like Ruth says the commentary was fab too :evillaugh:
Lukey and Riley are sitting here with soggy faces though :'( I started a thread ages ago asking who had said about saving toilet rolls to make a some kind of super duper toy and you didn't reply, I had about 20 saved and used a couple for their box but threw the rest away. Will have to start saving them again ;D
-
Aw Helen did you? How did I miss that! Tan started the thread me thinks.
Thanks all for the kind words. Lexy is delicate with the toy however....
She tips it over if she gets bored with the game :evillaugh: I didn't post that video!
As for narration yes I am a crazy cat mum who does waddle wabble baby talk!
Helen please advise boys I am very disturbed that I made them cry (oop) but if they are really good I can send their mum leftover rolls I have here! ;)
-

I just uploaded it to photobucket and added the IMG code here. Easy. But took an hour to upload the video as its 67MB.

Cute!

I would ask Teresa that, I am sure she knows :evillaugh:
-
Just fab Ruth :Luv:
Think I'd need to buy all the toilet roll in Tescos to make some for my lot :evillaugh:
We should start a "Donate Loo Rolls for Bengals" campaign :evillaugh:

thats fantastic, i think i'll have to make one for the codster :sneaky:
With the amount of toilet roll we go through here i should have it made by tonight :evillaugh:
-
That is brilliant Ruth, guess I can now recycle my empty kitchen rolls.
I can vouch for the fact that Lexy has a fast Right Claw :rofl:

I dread to ask this.. maybe I shouldn't.... but why do you go through so much toilet roll? Is the answer really :sick: or is your fetish for keeping the roll pull next to the wall getting the better of you? :evillaugh:
-
:rofl:
We have yet to solve this mystery ruth, so far the top theory is that the kids eat it :Crazy: They do something with it thats for sure with the amount that we go through, i'd say the best part of 1 a day probs :tired:
-
Helen please advise boys I am very disturbed that I made them cry (oop) but if they are really good I can send their mum leftover rolls I have here! ;)
The boys would like to thank you for your kind offer and say that they now forgive you for iignoring their Mum's original plea! I have alerted the media to their cause and they will be putting out an appeal for - 'bog roll for the boys' :evillaugh: I already have 5 kindly donated from friends and family (who are now convinced I am mad) so only 10 to go :wow: I go through toilet roll a rate of knots, my Mum always used to moan that I was wasteful :innocent: Also what with Riley's water fetish I am going through kitchen roll just as fast mopping up all his spills so should have the pyramid built in no time ;D
-
Aw bless them. Seriously though, have about 7 I can shoot over to you if you don't want to wait.

That's the theory my parents have always had about me lol :rofl:

Lexy is such a gorgeous clever girl Ruth, you must be so proud of her :)
