The boys love their
Fångst. They have one hanging in the house and second hanging in their outside kennel. We put toys in the upper levels, which entices the boys to jump and climb the F
ångst in an attempt to knock the toys out. They are pretty skilled at getting the glitter balls out without even getting into the different levels. The first few days of the F
ångst were real fun because they had trouble getting into the bottom level, it is free hanging/swinging. Everytime they tried to jump in, it would swing away. There was much time spent with the front legs and head inside and the back legs running around, swinging the entire F
ångst in a big circle. The boys have since figured out the process of getting in. Now it is the site of many energetic battles.
Typically, Uschi starts the fun
by chewing on the outside
before climbing into the bottom level
Soon, Tanj
attacks him
and Uschi fights back
But by now the F
ångst
is swinging wildly
So Tanj can step back and mark his target
before attacking
Uschi makes a valiant defense, but,...
Tanj dives in,... gets a good grip
and pulls Uschi out of the F
ångst
for some good
old wrestling. Then,...
Tanj climbs in.
Uschi isn't done yet
He attacks the F
ångst again
this time
Tanj is forced to defend the bottom bin
So Uschi heads to
higher ground
When all three boys were baby kittens, they were raised by their Aunt Kelli with a lot of toys and perches including the hanging "Fångst" from Ikea. We purchased two Fångsts (one for the kennel, one for inside the house), but as the boys grew up, they moved on to comfy couch cushions. The Fångsts were put away in the toy box supposedly forgotten. Last time we took out the toy box, Vladi pawed the Fångsts, so I hung one back up...
As usual, Vladi supervises.
Uschi looks VERY interested.
Oh boy, I remember this!
Getting inside was never easy, and Uschi is now a lot larger.
Guys, we may need a bigger Fångst!
It's Tanji's turn, he's pretty interested too...
It may have something to do with the glitterballs inside...
Hmmm, Tanji may not fit in here anymore either.
It's Vladi's turn, he's a bit smaller than his brothers...
It's a tight fit, but Vladi seems to be happy.
