Cogito ergo… meeeooow Dr Ivor Kitten has compiled 9 quick and easy tests that make up the How Cunning Is Your Cat? test. It’s the sure fire way of finding out if your moggy is a creature of comfort or a homicidal maniac. Hopefully it’ll be the former and your cat will vent its inherent frustration at the stupidity of humans on the Catnip mouse included in the box. Or maybe you’ll wake up one morning tied to its scratching post while it steals your credit cards and takes over your identity pausing only to force feed you Kitty Numbkins Tuna Treats. Whilst there’s no point worrying about what might happen it’s wise to take the precaution of putting Tiddles to the test just so you can prepare yourself. Features: A series of 9 tests to determine just how cunning your cat really is Tests include: testing your moggy’s curiosity body image and intelligence A free catnip mouse has been included to give Tibbs a bit of encouragement Suitable for cats Size: 23.5 x 15 x 4cm

Because we’re all such environmentally friendly and health-conscious sorts (why are you looking at us like that?) cycling about the place is second nature. The resulting safety implications particularly visibility are an important consideration as anyone who’s nearly been squished between two London buses will tell you. The SpokeLit bike light is a fantastic and simple way to ensure you don’t get knocked off (not in the mafia way obviously). All you have to do is clip the SpokeLit to your spokes click it on and hey presto you have a brilliant bicycle lighting. You then have the choice of a constant or a rapidly flashing coloured light. We kind of prefer the constant light on a purely aesthetic level – cycling at the right speed produces that lovely ring of light effect. Of course it’s more about staying visible on the roads than looking like an extra from Blade Runner but there’s no harm in looking cool. The batteries last for ages and installation only takes a few seconds so why not get your hands on one of these funky rear lamp accessories – keeping you safe while you brave the roads in the dark. Features: Bike SpokeLit safety light for cyclists. Simply clip it to the spokes and turn it on before you start cycling The light will either hold a steady glow or flash rapidly to make you as visible as possible in the dark Colours may vary: red blue or green Easy to operate (not whilst in motion unless you fancy losing your fingers down the nearest drain) Suitable for ages 8 years + Size: 12 x 3.5 x 2.5cm
Price : £ 9.99
