Ready for a tunnel that's also a dachshund? A curly-eared puppy head sits at one end, chef's hat and all. At the far end, a plume of blue and white feathers stands in for the tail. In between, a long red gingham sausage your cat can run straight through.
The spiral is the trick. It stretches to 110 cm for a proper run and coils back down when playtime is over, and the sprung steel frame takes the stretching and folding again and again. With a 29 cm opening, even the fluffiest cat strolls in without ducking.
There's plenty to swat at along the way. Little bells are stitched along the frame and jingle on every pass, and a tiny fork charm swings from one of the hoops. Both ends hold catnip and crinkle paper, which is usually what gets a napping cat to commit.
Corduroy and plush throughout, soft wherever your kitty brushes past. Fold it flat when you're done and it slips behind the sofa until they come looking for it again.
