Nifty toy
I found two of these plastic cat tents for $3.00 (clearance). The pigs just love them for floor time. Little Richard spent five minutes just whacking the bell with his head. Above you see Spot on about his fourth run-through after I put him down with it. He was going so fast I ended up with a bunch of blurry pictures (not to mention the camera was set wrong). I bet Lynx could figure out a way to make this with cardboard, duct tape, yarn, and tin.
Now, for the PLUG:
Incidentally, Spot was born on 9/8/01 and is still waiting for a home. He is extremely friendly and actually seeks out human attention. How often do you see that? He loves wheeeeeking at other pigs but so far has proved to be a butt-biter so he lives in his own suite. If you live reasonably close to WI and want to adopt Spot, email me at rsincere@hotmail.com.

That looks like a great toy! I´ll get out my duct tape and see what I can put together.
I´ve noticed pigs are most drawn to things they can burrow under, run through or hide in. This looks perfect and the hanging bell makes for a bit of excitement.
I´m sure you know already, but if you can jack up the light levels somehow (I sometimes stick things in a sunny spot in a room), the speed increases -- making for sharper pics. Would show off the evil cat look even better.
