We also bought a collapsable nylon cat tunnel for $1, which we thought would connect to one we already have. Turns out the tunnel we had is a larger size, but they still connect together just fine. Joe sprinkled some catnip in the tunnels to get the cats interested, and the fun began! Rita was sleeping in another room and missed some of the action, but the other 3 had a great time playing with them:

Joe's hands smelled stongly of catnip after he crushed some to sprinkle in the tunnels, which interested Attie greatly!
