I still have to get her dishes and some other things.
Also Cfa never cashed the check yet and said they do not have it.

that's nice.. but wow, look at the price tag!

mews2much · Mar 10, 2009

Yea my mentor advised me to get that.
I will use taht for Cleo and the new kitten/cat when I get it.

nekkiddoglady · Mar 10, 2009

When I first saw it pictured on the webpage, I thought that would be neat to get to have a few extra crates on hand for emergency.. but not for that price! WOW!

It is nice tho.. I supposse if you were getting serious about showing, it would be a very worthwhile investment.

mews2much · Mar 10, 2009

I was told Cleo may not do well but show her 3/4 to see how she does.
The next one will be for showing.

What will you use the sturdi box for? As a toilet tray? What's wrong with just a container?

I pick up mine for less then $1

mews2much · Mar 11, 2009

My mentor told me to get that.
Her bed will be pink with hearts on it.

nekkiddoglady · Mar 11, 2009

I agree that a plain container is probably better.. $15 for something that the cat is just going to poop in anyways... your money tho.

I'd probably opt for a cheap plastic container with a lid.. during travel you can put the lid on it to prevent litter spills.. you'd need a container to carry the litter in anyways.

Ive also seen disposable litter boxes, which would be good for a show.

Ours have to have a lid, if it's used it must be covered to eliminate odours in the hall - most get them from discount stores for only a dollar or two.

Yeah I cart my litter in the containers to the show and then just pop them open when I'm there - mine was actually originally a cake container

Not anymore

lol I certainly wouldnt want to use it for cake!

heh.. a little OT.. I've used a (new) kitty litter pan to put a cake it before.. my aunt wanted me to make a "kitty litter cake" for my cousin's halloween party.. basically you make white and chocolate cake, crumble it up, mix with vanilla pudding.. and then you use tootsie rolls, melt and shape them into little turds... I even added the touch of that one that hangs over the side of the pan LOL

No one wanted to eat it LOL

Sturdi products makes one of the less expensive show cages. So, that really isn't alot to spend.

I need something sturdy for the bengals when they get too frisky, so I use these:

Noticed that most of the Bengal owners at the shows do have a more sturdy cage.

I've always wanted to make one of those litter cakes.

It sounds so funny!

Thanks Laureen. I might print it out and stick it on my fridge. I currently have a recipe for dark chocolate mousse on my fridge wanting to be made.

LOL I dont think a cloth cage would contain some cats very well.. we thing Gozer is part Bengal.. she can be rowdy at times.. I wouldnt try to put her in a cloth cage! If I were to get some cloth carriers for emergency use, she'd be the one to go in my plastic crate.

mews2much · Mar 12, 2009

I think that cake is gross.
My friend made one years ago.
The cloth will work fine for Cleo.

kai bengals · Mar 12, 2009

The Sturdi Products cage is not made of cloth. It's a type of vinyl and very durable. It will be fine for Cleo.

The only reason it isn't fine for bengals, is due to it being lightweight it is prone to tipping and falling off the benching table if a heavy cat is playing inside it. I've seen this happen more than one time with bengals.

mews2much · Mar 12, 2009

I have this in Tan. I use it to go to the vets and everyone always asks where I got it. I am getting Cleo used to the show cage. I am sure it will not fall over.
The carrier does because its small.
The material is very strong.
I sat the carrier on the couch last summer with a cat in it and it fell on the floor.
I doubt a Bengal would fit in the carrier.
The cage is Cleo is being shown in is big.
Anything else I should put in the cage besides the bed,dishes and litter pan?
