During the (more frequent as he gets older) mad moments; we've discovered, by accident, that the horrendous cat scratching post / plaything, affectionately known as furry towers - that lives in our sitting room is a great source of amusement for young Murphy. He's not able to destroy it completely but there's endless fun in trying to; the look on the cat's face was priceless. You would have sworn he was assessing the damage as he walked round and sniffed the thing, throwing the occasional disproving glance over at Murphy - who, of course, was giving the 'Who? Me?' look. So get down to Lidl, grace your house with the tackiest and cheap animal toy known to man and watch your pup vent his spleen on it. Hilarious! We've never once had to modify his behaviour on the furniture that matters. Murphy is now 10 weeks old
Re: Best 'toy' ever 'Rods and backs' comes to mind Tatze got endless fun playing with our watering can and sweeping brush. Guess what we can't do now without her going loopy? - yep!
Re: Best 'toy' ever Had visions of cat glaring at Murphy. Oh they do make you laugh don't they? Look forward to seeing video.

[/quote] Ah, but there's a cunning plan I'm working on the theory that once Furry Towers has been reduced to something completely embarrassing to have in the house, it'll be consigned to the bin. I never liked the bloody thing and the cats gave up playing with it ages ago.

Re: Best 'toy' ever After purchasing too many toys, I've found that Cooper's favorite is an empty drinking water bottle.....he crushes them in his mouth, skates on them, pushes them around (they make a lot of noise) but they never crack or shred. I give him one a day and then toss it out at night....next day, he gets a new one....best thing ever if you can stand the noise!
Re: Best 'toy' ever Yvonne, water bottles are great! Maisie loves them and creates an amazing amount of noise with them!!! Milk cartons are ace as well
Re: Best 'toy' ever You can put the water bottles in an old sock just incase they break off into sharp pieces x
Re: Best 'toy' ever I quite often rinse out plastic milk bottles, squash it and add a few pieces of kibble......it lasts at least 25-30 mins still at 9.5months old

Re: Best 'toy' ever Brilliant! Must get pics of this one but we had an old garden weed collecting bucket thing. Another great Lidl buy. Cut a hole in the bottom, leave the handles on; fantastic play tunnel - at least 20 minutes out of that one.
Re: Best 'toy' ever Funnily enough, I did the handful of kibble in a plastic bottle for Lilly last week. After about an hour I had enough and gave the kibble their freedom (well, for a couple of nano-seconds)
