cat tent tragedy



cat tent tragedy, originally uploaded by mintyfresh.

The kitties very favourite Royal Canin cat tent (free with a bag of “BabyCat” cat food about a year or so ago) has finally started to come apart (quite literally) at the seams.

No other cat tent has compared to this one in “we like it” levels with the kitties – Trixie, Honey and Hugo have made it their hangout for the last four weeks and now that they’re big enough to play, they’re dragging it around the house, flipping it on its head, and testing out it’s capabilities as a trampoline. They *love* this tent. And so has every other cat that’s come before them.

But there are no more….even an email to Royal Canin asking if I can buy/find another resulted in nothing (or shall I say, no return email.).

This means sad cats.

Updated to say: Aww! There are no tents left, but they’re sending us a little cat tunnel instead! Hopefully no one eats it.

Updated again July 2nd to say: it arrived! They love it!

    Temporary solution – duct tape?

    Dapper Pets still has cat tents for sale –I don’t know if this is the same kind you’re looking for — also e-Bay! They have everything.

    I believe I am going to have to resort to making my own. It’s so much easier when they send them to you for free though!

    Yesterday, I purchased the cutest cat tent from Ikea – $3.99!

    I also bought an awesome cat tent at Ikea. Mine was $14.99 though. My cats love it and drag it just about everywhere :)

    Too funny! Our RC tent looks the same! Our 2 kittens loved (read destroyed) it. Duct tape has worked reasonably well to fix the seams though they just rip open new ones shortly after. Fortunately, we managed to get a second tent before they were out of them and we’ll save it until they are old enough to appreciate it. ;-)
