100% of cats love the box it comes in.

Like a treadmill....some ppl use them & some ppl don't.....🙂🙂🙂

We have 5 rescued cats and bought this hoping that at least one or two of them would enjoy it. Well, after about 2 years, we have been unsuccessful in training any one of them to use it. It is a bit noisy which is a drawback for our cats and they are still more interested in chasing each other around the house. It was worthwhile taking a chance to try it. It's funny that you suggested donating a wheel that cats don't use to a rescue organization because that is exactly what I'm in the process of doing. I just need to borrow a pickup truck as you mentioned. Thank you for a very thoughtful review.

Wish I would have known this a couple weeks ago lol. Came to watch this video bc I ordered my Savannah kitten Leo one and it got here yesterday. I plan on putting it together today. Thanks for your 🤞

I do think it's worth giving your cat a chance with it. Savannahs and Bengals often tend to take to these better than other cats. Please let us know how it goes! :)

Can confirm, it does wake you up and if you are in an apartment I recommend buying treadmill noise reduction pads to put under the base. Ever since I got them I haven’t heard anything from my neighbor below me.

Thank you for showing and talking honestly about this cat wheel. I have a year old wild child cat and I think she would enjoy and benefit from it as our apartment is very small and she has energy! I do plan on buying one soon, especially after watching your very helpful video. Thank you again!

I'm glad you found it helpful!

The younger you get them on it the better. One had it since he was a few weeks old and uses it all the time. The one I got it for needs convincing to use it because it's new to him and looks for the reinforcement

I have 2 brothers 1 uses it all the time night and day and Loves it. The other likes it but is lazier and only uses it often and is the same only likes to use when getting some sort of reinforcement. But I am glad to have it so I can use it to try and keep the lazier one in shape by taking some play time with him on the treadmill. Owner for 1year. cats are almost 2yrs old now.

Thank you I just bought one of these for my kitty, hope he likes it!

I hope so! Just be patient with him. Sometimes it takes time for cats to get on board with something like this.

I bought mine and put it together! Is anyone else’s noisey every time it goes past a Gap in the pieces. I checked and it is all out together correctly

One of my cats does use this all by himself. The other needs a laser pointer to get interested. Really the only issue is the cat that uses it also uses it as a scratching post and the track material is very flimsy. Maybe keeping his claws trimmed more often will help.

Yes, the treads on mine are pretty well clawed. I think it would be possible to glue down some lightweight carpet remnants or floor mats cut to size.

@@KittyHelpDesk carpet is a bad idea for cats claws because they can get caught in the carpet. There are replacement pad you can get and if you get the black ones you wont notice. I have had my cat wheel for 5 yrs. My cat is now 6 yrs old and still gets on it all the time day or night.

@KittyHelpDesk

The small bits of foam that come off when clawed are problematic if your cat is prone to consume them. Carpet will work just fine depending on the weave and the condition of the cat's claws. An ideal material would be those large rubber floor mats that have surfaces like carpeting but no loops.

My cat absolutely hates it and gets simply freaked out by it so for us it was an utter waste of money and very very expensive .

Thanks for the video. I am looking for a cat wheel for my cats. I have been scammed TWICE by fake Chinese companies, so I am seeking a reputable company to purchase from. As far as the surface goes, I saw a video where they actually suggested getting the solid black, because the foam will scratch off and the black underneath will show if you have a color or print on it. A carpet surface was not suggested, since the cats nails can get hung in the nap of the carpet.

You might need more than one!

That is my impression, perhaps kittens might play more and I notice certain breeds like Siamese and similar types use it more.

Would it be easier to train cats on a exercise wheel or something like a under the desk treadmill?

@KittyHelpDesk

Жыл бұрын

I've found the wheels to be easier, but a lot depends on the cat. There's also some risk of injury if the treadmill is motorized.

are there any good budget friendly options? for reference i have a 2y old shorthair approx 15lb

Miss Lucy is 18# and she fits on the OFC wheel I have, so I expect any cat would fit on tracks that are at least 10-12" wide.

Which version is this? I just ordered one and it says it's they 6th

Once assembled, can the wheel be disassembled?

@KittyHelpDesk

2 жыл бұрын

Not easily. The foam pads that are stuck down as the track surface are intended to overlap the connections between the sections to add to the rigidity of the wheel. I suppose you could cut and apply foam to each section of track prior to assembly, but I don't know how that would affect the overall sturdiness of it.

@@KittyHelpDesk Thank you. Sounds like it's best to just keep it assembled. I ordered one last night. If my cat doesn't want anything to do with it, I can just sell it locally to someone whose kitty would appreciate it. Thankfully I have a trailer bed I can deliver it with, if needed. :)
