Cat Agility Suggestions Please!! VIDEO WORKS NOW :0)

First I wanted to let you know that your video won't work for me. It's uploads but it won't play.

I've been to a few cat shows where they had cat agility and here are 2 pictures of what they used.





You can see that they used hoops to jump through, gates to jump over, some stairs to run up and down, and tunnels to run through. Most of the cats didn't cooperate very well though. They'd use toys to try to entice the cat so it would go through the course.

Here's a good link about cat agility. There are also several pictures of it. Good luck.

with the tube, could you angle it like a ramp, so you could roll a ball down it?

I never knew there was such a thing as cat agility, I don't think my cats would take to it unless you had prime rib hanging from a string, lol.

I couldn't view the video either. As for an agility course, I've bought every kind of hoop and tunnel and toy, etc. to no avail. But my fur posse races up and down the stairs like it's a race way and they bat around catnip toys as though they're fresh kill, so I guess that'll have to do. I wish I could come up w/a suggestion but I'm fresh out!

I Am At The Library On Thier Best Computer , And No Movie Here Either. I Would Try An Interactive Toy With Paddy As They Will Play With That When They May Not Be Interested In The Other Toys!!
Good Luck With Slimming Paddy Down!!!

Sorry about the video, I was tired last night and not paying attention to what I was doing. It's working now.
Thanks for the pics of cat agility Krazyaboutkats. I'm really hoping that the motivating factor for Paddy will be his obsession with food and that he will follow me around and through whatever I set up if I have some food in my hand (just a small treat of course!).
Jackie, the tubes are collapsable and made of lightweight fabric so they couldn't be angled upwards. But I might be able to come up with another kind of tube where I could try that. A tube made of large pvc piping or something.

He cracked me up eating.. That was so darn CUTE!! Do you always feed him out of such a big bowl? Maybe he thinks he has to eat like that to eat all he is given? That was sooooooo cute!!!!
