I was looking for a deluxe scratching post, activity centre for my cats. I found one which is stunning but american. It is a stackable set 24 *24 * 24 with a carpet pole, a rope covered pole and 2 bark covered poles. Does anyone know anywhere in the uk that does something similar or am I going to be forced to shell out about 200 to get one shipped out (its going to be about £400 including shipping) can someone help a loony pet owner.

What a super deluxe scratching post Paula!!

I've never seen anything like it here but I hope you manage to find one as we'd love to see pics of your cats having fun with it.

Good luck with your search!

I had a look at ebay and a lot of other places, but didn't like them so I am just sorting out the shipping part and coordinating it with the manufactorer, they are hand made to order. So hopefully in about 8 weeks time my little monters will have a 5 foot 4 inch high activity centre with a base of 24 inches by 24.

Kennedy Space Centre is amazing....look out for the armadillos on the way there!
Sounds like you have some good trips planned, especially swimming with the dolphins. We saw some manatees at Sea World and they were huge!
Enjoy your holiday....and maybe post some pics of it on here some time, we'd love to see them :wink:

I got word from the company that made the scratching post. It will be with the shipping company on monday!!!!!!! Just got to coordinate the shipping with them and it will be here shortly. Mind you I don't think I am going to do this again its been a logicistical nightmare coordinating 2 firms in the us from england.

I wish I could have brought it home with me, but I got the feeling that they wouldn't have let it on the plane, in 3 2ft by 2ft by 2ft boxes each weighing 45lbs.
