Yes, I first saw it in a cat rescue, and believe it or not there were several cats who'd hop right on and trot along. It was great fun to watch, and apparently they enjoy it :)

There are some TCS threads on cat exercise wheels:

The breeder I went to had one. They really are huge! Some of her cats love it, but others hate it. It all depends on the individual. They do take up a fair bit of space though.

one of my petsitting client gave me hers, I just set it up and letting Monet explore it with some treats. I hope he'll take to it since he tends to do a lot of zoomies! Cassie is lazy, I doubt she'd ever use it.

Thanks for posting the links above LTS3 LTS3 ! The training video helps!

Katie M Katie M - did you ever purchase the wheel? If so, how did your cats take to it?

I ultimately decided not to. I have little space as it is. If I ever find a bigger place, I'll definitely consider it.

I just saw an ad for this. Has anyone heard of it, or bought one? It's essentially a giant hamster wheel.
My friend who breeds Abby's has one, fun to watch and the kittens when learning how will forget to keep going and its a waterfall of kittens.
The ones with the enclosed guide wheels are better and safer.

The trouble with cat toys or gadgets is that not all cats welcome them and we can never be sure if they will really use it.
