No pictures yet, but perhaps one of these days. ;)

I got 5 empty wine boxes in my supermarket and taped them together, lenghtwise. Throw a couple of little balls of yarn in there, and Fister is racing through. Quite fun to watch, and a cheap toy. :D

This takes me back to some happy days with RB Tex, Georgie and Tenny. Mom and I bought this school house shaped like a tunnel and those 3 played in there for a long, long time. Finally, as Gary mentioned, it became crushed under the weight of the cats and went to the garbage. It was fun while it lasted.

What a great idea! We also got a tunnel for Eve which she completely ignores:rolleyes: however .... give her a box that she barely fits into and she"drives" it headfirst :p all over the place. We call it "PlayStation Eve" ;) she is always trying to emulate her Daddy:p

All we need now is for someone to come up with an idea on how to make dog tunnels. Our pet shops quit carrying them because they weren't a big seller.
They don't make wine bottles large enough for Shepherds.

Refrigerator boxes are big enough! Ask at Home Depot or Lowes? ;) However, does your house have a room big enough to set up a "shepherd tunnel" in it? ;)

Before anyone think I'm turning into an alcoholic, let's get this straight.... a woman in the supermarket, put the EMPTY boxes away for me to come and collect. :D And btw, she is a very nice person who is looking in to getting some special cereal (Jordans) for me. :p AND... she has two cats! :)

Gary, yes it IS important that the boxes are sturdy. ;) Each box makes room for 6 bottles.

Lut, if you make a tunnel of them, use some of that thick brown tape!

I can't wait to see some pictures or a video of Fister playing like a young kitty in the tunnel!:)

Actually I never thought of going to those big stores for cardboard boxes.. Thanks for the idea Karen. I could also build some outside for the summer , cover them with tarps when it rains.
Yes our downstairs would be big enough to build a pretty long one even with a twist to another room, we don't use that part of the house anymore.

I do allot of shipping in/out. The rule of the house is box comes in. cats have first choice. I will some times retape the box then cut a hole in one or two ends. It's fun to see a 15 lb. cat try to sit in a 6 inch square box or a kitten in a 40 x 36 in.
When the box gets crushed or worn out there is always a new one available.
Having different sizes is great fun for all.
Right now there is a small box in front of the stove Demetri, Lucky, and Roz take turns in it.
