Couldn't resist treating the boys to the new Turbo Track that's just come in to the Purrs shop (the only place it's available in the UK). They have a plain roundabout toy that they've had since babies that still gets played with daily so I knew they'd enjoy the upgraded turbo big boy version :wow:
You can make 5 different tracks from just one set - brilliant to keep them interested in it and also to occupy them while they're home alone ;D

Here's the boys demonstrating just one of them....

The ball 'nutmegs' Riley

They both bizarrely stop and have a little wash :shocked:
(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z202/Lucas_Riley/289640x480.jpg)
They also got some 'rainbow play cord'
(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z202/Lucas_Riley/244640x480-1.jpg)
(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z202/Lucas_Riley/247800x600.jpg)
Once they'd played with the turbo track and the play cord they set about destroying the packing slip that was obviously infused with catnip :tired:
A big bit for Lukey
(http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z202/Lucas_Riley/295640x480.jpg)
He lets Riley have a small piece :naughty:

They are so lovely, they just look like such cuddly boys x :Luv2:
Riley is a stunner, does he want to come and live with me :wow:
-
:Luv2: :Luv2: Goregous photos
;D they really look to be enjoying their new toy!
-
they look like they're having a great time with their new toys :Luv2: :Luv:
-
brill pics hun as always ;D Glad they like the new toys. I brought my lads the Catit track but not much interest in it so i saw this on You Tube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIgdVucDeVU and thought ahhh that looks better and it has hills so bally can hide and 9 pieces in one set instead of only 4 like the catit one.
and yeap they like it :wooooo:
Can i use wonderful pics on Da Shoppe? :wish:
How did they get on with the bud sample? :evillaugh:
-
Just wondering how sturdy this is, are the cats able to break the track apart with rough play ?
-
Lovely pics :Luv: Maybe they should be entered in a competition for the next face(s) of Turbo Track ? ;)
-
Oooooh that looks exciting and such handsome boys. I may just have to, when I get my pay rise and get on top of my finances, place an international delivery from the shop. I really want to get a Da Bird too and some other bits. Toy selection here is very uninspired to say the least.
-
Riley and Lukey look in peak condition too - their training regime is obviously working a treat :Luv2:
-
Not looking, not looking, not looking ... *covers Memphis' eyes* :shify:
He would love that track so much. He plays with the cat-it track without fail several times every single day.
As usual Lukey and Riley are looking gorgeous .. not that I looked or anything :evillaugh:
-
Brilliant photos as always :Luv2:
I was wondering the same as Teresa ref the sturdiness of the track - I wonder if it is Bengal proof?
-
:thanks: everyone
Tan - of course you can use the pics for the shop, will try to get some better ones in natural light, those were taken at 1am as I couldn't wait til the morning to set it up :evillaugh: Thanks for the buds (am surprised that the package didn't get stopped and seized :evillaugh:), they haven't tried them yet as it was too late to whip them up into a frenzy so will save them for another day but judging on how much they liked the catnip infused packing slip I think they'll enjoy it ;D

Hmmn, I think if it was given a really good thrashing it might separate but it pieces together with a big tooth either side of the underneath, one comes up and the other goes down and they sort of lock in so it wouldn't be separated by a bash alone, they'd need to twist it at a certain angle and bash so I think overall it's sturdy and will withstand rough play :)
-
Before I get one I have one question.
Does it have cat nip in it in any way shape or form.
Cause I can't bring catnip in the house and have to be sure ;)
-
Oh wow! I didnt know the shop selled them....I want one....not being greedy I will leave you one too! :evillaugh:
The grey one not the coloured one! :innocent:

As far as I'm aware NO - the boys were very interested in the box but that's becuase it was packed inside the main delivery box which had catnip toys and catnip buds in aswell. They're showing no interest (in a catnip kind of way) in the track itself.

;D thanks hun will upload pics to shop now ;D
yes i agree they would need to twist the indivually track pieces to make it come apart. here are some vids on how the pieces join together where they clip into each other, one side up and one side down on each end.
Diff tracks you can make from the one set:-

Brilliant!
The cats deserve a new toy, I'm a bit tired of being stalked until i play with the laser pointer and Gizmo will cry unless I play. Nothing scarier than being stared at by 4 cats watching every move you make!
-
Yeap no catnip at all with the track :)
I have only 2 left in stock at mo but have more already on their way from USA.

Poor Nutmeg being 'hounded' off his track :evillaugh:
-
And this one with the light up ball ........
Precious has Cerebellar Hypoplasia but it doesn't squelch her passion for her new Bergan Turbo Track. I did switch the ball with a LED ball and she plays into the night.

Riley is a stunner, does he want to come and live with me :wow:
Just spotted this Daisymac, he would want to know what his name would be before he commits to anything :evillaugh:
-
This toy seems to have magical powers and rendered the boys flat on their back after playing with it :Luv2:

-

:Luv: love them as always :Luv:

Nothing quite as magical I'm afraid :evillaugh: If I'd bent down to get it they'd have come rushing over to me (many good photos have been ruined this way) so I used my phone instead :)
