    Thanks for the link Louie - I just brought 2 for £8.07 including postage - bargain. Think Simba will love them - he is always trying to get inside things - can't wait for them to come now

    Here are some links I found for what we have bought in US:
    Walmart.com: Sportpet: Cat Cat Play Cube, 1 ct: Cats
    [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Set-Cat-Cubes-96-Red/dp/B000ACR18C"]Amazon.com: Set of 2 Cat Cubes – Red: Kitchen & Dining@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4188QP12T9L.@@AMEPARAM@@4188QP12T9L[/ame]

    They should be around US $5 apiece. Ours have stood up remarkably well. Though they have lots of claw holes in them, we have not had to discard a single one. We own probably around 12 of the cubes, and often have them in groups of 3-4.

    I think I will check out getting them through amazon - they look well priced and the right ones

    Thanks all for the tips

    This is Harry's favourite, even poppy goes inside. The one we have is made of mesh so they can see through it. Harry likes it when Poppy is inside and he jumps on it of course this collapses it and the fun starts ! - The closest thing we found was a rustle tunnel, but it's not going to last long because of the size. Definately going to invest in the cube. Thanks

    They look very good I think the ones we got off ebay are a copy, they are great for the price but the amazon ones look a bit more robust, pity it would cost so much in p&p to get them here not ot worry this lot love there version

    I wouldnt think it would cost heaps to send - I get books from Amazon quite often from US and the postage isnt too bad - around $8 US. The books and postage always work out cheaper than what the books cost in Aus.

    I agree that the US version does look more robust than the ebay versions.

    I think they are actually sold by Target and they don't ship overseas.

    I found this link that appears might work for the UK:
    SPORTPET Cat Play Cubes - Peticious.com - Delicious Pet Supplies -

    A couple of bucks more expensive than best prices here, but every other site I find with them in US does not ship overseas.

    Also, looking at photos I see some slight differences with Ebay ones. The Sportpet ones do not have balls on strings, but do have some ribbon inside hanging from "roof" instead.

    The ones on Amazon do look good - it's a shame they don't sell them on the UK Amazon. I can't wait to get mine from ebay though - I think they do look good and for the price you can't complain. I have brought things from Amazon.com before and the shipping hasn't been too bad. It's really frustrating when you see things you like that are sold abroad - America always seem to have nicer dog collars than we do and I want some from a website but the shipping is a ridiculous price and almost doubles the cost of the collars.

    look what I found Cat Play Cubes-2 in Pkg Brand New! Cats Love!! on eBay (end time 19-Apr-10 00:10:30 BST) works out at £11.66 so will save that till this one gets wrecked

    Just looked at my watching page & it says £9.05??? so not sure may even be cheaper
