You should combine the two by putting the car bed on the wheel. Then she could not exercise while not moving. Or put the wheel on the car for Evan-level chaos.

If you do this, make sure to randomize the number of rotations before a reward comes out. Operant conditioning demands inconsistent rewards to establish repetitious behaviors. Right now she has figured out step=treat. But she needs to learn to keep stepping and inconsistent rewards will help with that.

Bonus: Aromatically adjust the amount required for ham to be dispensed. Some factors that could influence that are: - frequency of use - weight of joobie automatically measured in the wheel - camera with AI slowly trained to detect when job us about to stop walking in the wheel and only then dispense ham

I'm glad to see she is loving the updated wheel! A little piece of advice from your friendly neighborhood vet that has trained many cats: I recommend you only reward her while she is still on the wheel, otherwise she will learn that she gets the "ham" when she hops off. Good luck with the training!

Wait until they have kids!

I made one of these for a friend's cat and i can say without shadow of a doubt that you want 3, very soft wheels, rather than four or a roller setup. Two keep the wheel in angle whilst the third on the other side makes sure that the wheel's imperfections don't cause it to bump left to right. You'll want ABEC9 ball bearings, so your best bet would be pure silicone, inline 4 skate type wheels, preferably something for trick skating, which has a smaller, yet blunt wheel (doesn't have that tapered edge to it). You should also consider adding a bit more weight and last but not least the camber and toe in/toe out angles, mainly because with a slightly heavier wheel you won't need to have active tracking, it will track itself (much like the belt on a belt sander does due to the crowned wheel at the top).

Also stopping would be an issue if there's not enough friction and weight. Although Adam's was meant for high speed bengalese who run like crazy speeds. Jubes will never run that fast.

I was thinking that rubber roller skate wheels would be a good option too. They would be quiet, and have bearings in the wheels that spin a while.

I’m pretty sure it’s ponyo reference, it’s adorable

this would overcomplicate things a lot (so I think Evan will like this idea) BUT you guys should design some little pulley mechanism that holds the ham (or a cat toy or whatever) on a string, and the more she spins the wheel, the lower the toy goes so that she can eventually actually get to the thing. sort of a carrot-on-a-stick but from the mind of a Mechanical Engineer and it's for a cat...

Yes, and also hook it up to the power grid to power the self-cleaning litter box.

You know I think Adam Savage (from mythbusters & tested) made a very similar cat wheel. Maybe for version 3.0 you can take some inspirations from it? I think he added a lot of smart improvements to make it less wobbly

Omg I love it! Now the Supervisor can properly exercise, with ham breaks of course :)

The love you two have for your floor baby is so amazing to witness.

Keep the Joob content coming! Happy Birthday month Joobie! (It's my birthday month too, so this is like a special treat to me!)

You guys sound like such proud parents when Joobie used the wheel more 😂

So proud of Joobie! It looks like she moves much better on the wheel now

the little hop in the wheel... runs a few paces and looks to Katelyn for ham... Then realised it moved easier and jumped back in... runs. It was soooo cuuuute !! I really should make things for My cat Miav... he is the same age as Joobie.

7:24 Juby ran, so she gets ham That is the best rhyme I’ve ever heard

I've seen what appears to be rollerblade wheels used in making these cat wheels that also seem to work really well. They have softer rubber, ball bearings, and roll pretty silently.

Now that the ham wheel is perfected I would absolutely LOVE if you guys made that cat hamster ball for her so she could be a tiny little void wrecking ball like you mentioned in the original ham wheel video. Love you guys keep up the amazing work 🥰

Joob is so cute she even responds to the ham call it’s adorable

katelyn: Joobie ran so she got the ham . now thats a phrase of determination to workout .. 😅

Yay ! Another episode of "Cat bribery, with Evan and Katelyn". :D Every time that cat wheel has been in shot, I've thought that it would be a pretty simple add on piece to mount a couple of tube uprights and a cross bar to the back of the base, then use that to mount a cat toy to dangle at the 3 or 9 o'clock position. You might even be able to get full on sprinting footage of Joobie with that setup.

You guys are such good pet owners! Giving your cat so many enrichments and toys and seeing her enjoy them is just amazing!

I love how quick she reacts to "Joobie Haaaam" .... such a good girl!

Jooby is doing such a great job of training you =D

this is a great update and I'm cheering for Joobie in training for the marathon ♥

UP VOTE FOR THAT EK IN THE BACKGROUND!!!! HELL YEAH 💯 🐈 WHEEL IS COOL TOO

you can add in a degree or two of slope to the rollers and it will force the wheel to press on one side more than the other. It seems like it would increase a lot of friction but as it stays on one side and not bouncing/wobbling it will overall make things smoother.

Aw, it's so funny when pets have learned "doing x gets me food!" Like my sister's puppy: when she sees you've got food, plunks her little rump down and wags her tail. "Look how good I'm sitting! Don't I deserve food?"

Happy Birthday Joobie!!

The lengths some cats will go to to train their owners is quite impressive!

So cute! Since my cat passed away last year, and my landlord in the apartment I moved to doesn't allow pets, I've been living vicariously through you guys as Joobie owners. ❤

You did the right thing by adding the bearing rollers AND adjusting the side rollers. Win win.

Roller blade wheels work very well also. Our Ferris Cat Wheel uses them and they are pretty quiet. Our Bombay would lay waste to Joobie's wheel as he runs VERY fast. :)

The joob has trained you so well 😊😊

I learned in this video Joob has trained Evan and Katelyn very well!

I've only seen your original build video, plus this one. I like the idea of using the table saw outfeed support rollers, which have good bearings that will take a lot of use. When I looked at the "side" rollers and the way they're mounted, I couldn't help but think that a couple of small improvements might be possible. (What can I say? I'm an engineer). Idea #1 would be to have some slightly better casters, or even simply roller bearings fitted into a "U" shaped piece of steel bar stock. Those would wear a lot better, and perhaps also be a bit quieter. Thinking about that some more, I then wondered if you could mount some kind of ball or roller-bearing side wheel in a way that had a spring, or springs between the wheel holding frame and the wooden base. Four light springs, slipped over four bolts with washers and Nylock nuts would do the trick. So would a common gate hinge, which would require only one spring, with the bearing mounted on the outer side, and the inner part screwed or bolted to the base. I can visualize it, but KZread has no way for me to show you a sketch. But I think you could work out the kind of device I'm thinking of. An alternative possibility is to make the distance between base and cat wheel rim adjustable. One easy way would be to use some 1/4"/6.3mm threaded rod with an adjusting knob on the inside. You might eve be able to combine that with an "in-between" spring, so that the side roller stays in contact regardless of variations in the cat wheel edge and position. To mount that into the wooden base easily, you could use some fittings (available at all big-box hardware stores) that have a center hole treaded for a machine screw (such as threaded rod), with that set into a piece of steel perhaps 1" - 1-1/4" square, tat has "prongs" on each corner. To attach them, you simply drill a hole in the base big enough to take the center (threaded) tube, then fix the square steel plate to the wood by tapping it into the wood until the pointed "prongs" are firmly seated. These are cheap and readily available. Depending on what bolts you have on hand, you might dispense with the section of threaded rod and just use a long-ish 1/4-20 UNC machine bolt that adjusted the side-to-side clearance when turned. To keep that fixed, you could use a drop of blue LocTite or go the 'budget' route and put a couple of drops of nail polish on the threads. Works fine for light loads. You've probably had many other ideas and many other suggestions of all kinds, and if you've looked at the very expensive commercial versions you'll see other ideas, such as a low-speed motor that starts turning the cat wheel - slowly - when the cat(s) jump on. Some cats don't like that - having the 'floor' start to move under their paws spooks some cats instantly. I saw a cat wheel with multiple rings connected as a spiral at a cat show, but for upwards of $6000, and weighing easily 500 pounds, it didn't seem very attractive. Anyhow, endless variety once people start thinking up new ideas. Thanks for posting the original video, and this follow up. I have only one question arising from the original build. From your video, it looked like you were squeezing adhesive into a groove on one rim on top of the metal drum, with the groove in te wood facing down. Maybe it was camera angles or perhaps I wasn't watching closely enough, but why not have the wooden ring on the table, with the glue slot facing up? I'm sure you had a reason (if that's how you did it) but I can't see the advantage to the "inverted" assembly. Just curious. I will probably be building one myself in the near future. Many thanks.

Lol I love how she’s like where’s my reward mommy and daddy?

Happy late furday Joob Joob. Also your hoomans did a phenomenal job on fixing the wheel. ❤🥰

You guys might like a guy named Tim Hunkin. He used to do a great show on the BBC called, "The secret life of machines," where he would break down and dissect and cover the history of common machines and appliances. Like washing machines, televisions radios and automobiles. What's cool is that he was an artist by trade and they would always wrap up the show with some chimera-like sculpture made of the parts of the machine they covered in each episode. The reason why I bring him up is that he now has a channel on youtube and just had an episode of his current segment, " The secret life of components: bearings." He's an old pro of complex and technical crafts and sculptures and just has the most charming and sweet British charm about him. Honestly, I'm not sure if you would like his experience or his character more. Which is why I think you'd like him in general, his show's a lot like yours in that way. =D

Man I was so glad to see this update. This was by far my favorite project

I love the ham call 🤣🤣🤣

Was really expecting the title to read a small change makes a wheely big difference

Now you have to expect for more rotations or Joobie's steps before giving her ham or treats, then rise the amount and so on. :)

You guys need to add an "arm" connected to the base on the wall side that reaches up and into the center of the circle where you can "clip" a chunk of ham dangling just out of reach - a "carrot on a stick" type of thing to get Joobie to exercise on her wheel in her own!!😂😂

I love seeing you guys make things for Joobie!

Yay! Joob got in by herself!! You guys rock as fur parents!

joobie loves it 💜

Loved the upgrade and to fix the wobble for good I believe you have to align the wheel and to do that I think you could get two sticks and either end and shim the bolts until all four corners are level.

Love it! Im so glad she is happy with the upgrade!

The shot where the camera pans to Joob, and she's just peaking from behind the sofa, is one of the cutest things I have ever seen.
