Customer Reviews for Cat Exercise Wheel 43.3" Large Cat Treadmill Wheel for Indoor Cats Black

When I first opened the box I thought, \"omg what have I gotten myself into!\" Then I laid everything out and put base together, and thought, it's smaller than I thought.\" Then I got the wheel together and thought \" it's bigger than I expected!\". All in all there were a few minor chips or scratches, most that dont show after assembly. Directions were simple to follow. It went together easily. It's stable and relatively quiet. Two of the cats are curious, have walked on it a bit following the toy, but havent run yet. I think it'll work out fine once they get accustomed to it. (Lazy kitties, frowning at the idea of exercise!) Only issue I have is carpet is actually about an inch too long! I would but again.

My Popcorn will be at it when I am asleep to wake me up - she loves it! She's a Jester to the king...

I decided to try this because it looks sturdier than the \"name brand\" one. I just put it together and wanted to share my thoughts so far. One of my cats did climb on with some toy motivation. The other one attempted to twice but stopped when the wheel started to move. It seems promising though. Pros: Arrived 2 days early, sturdy, plenty of room (bought the largest size to be safe), pretty simple to put together if you've ever put together furniture before, came with a bunch of extra hardware Cons: the carpet insert liner thing is one piece and it was about an inch too short. It would have been better to have multiple pieces to make it easier to install, ensure it stays straight when you're installing it, and to replace it in the future. The clearance between the wheel and the base (where the cat would be running) is small, but after my cat stepped on I realized it's just big enough for a toe bean to go in so that does worry my slightly. Also the base ends (on the outside of the wheel where the fish lock is) have a large enough space for a cat to easily put their arm in so it's a concern that one cat will be messing around with an arm in it and another cat decides to jump on. For now I will make sure it's \"locked\" when I'm sleeping or busy until I know they are more familiar with it. I do have high hopes for it and will update after I make more progress with the cats.

Oh my gosh this is the best thing I ever bought for my cat. I have a Bengal she uses it every day even without me playing with a toy with her to Chase on the wheel. She goes on it by herself. Highly recommend recommended if you have high energy cats like bangles.

It took us about two hour to put together but if you have a drilled it will be faster. Instructions are not the best but can be figure out. It is not super quiet but also not too loud and there is a latch to stop it from moving at any time. Nice quality, good finish and even extra screws and tools. Cat needed a couple of days to get the hang of it but once she did it was non stop from there, she loves it and is getting better at it every day she now runs without stumbling for several seconds at a time. So happy with this purchase.

Cats learned quickly when treats were held out of reach above , then jumped on without encouragement or treats, all by themself later on.

I bought this for my sphynx kitten to make it easier for her to burn off some excess energy - she took to it right away and despite still being very small had zero issues making the wheel move. Assembly was SUPER simple - took me only about 45 minutes with the help of a power drill from first opening the box to my cat running on it. People reviewing saying it took them hours to assemble the wheel are either using the included (small) screwdriver or generally struggle to follow printed instructions (aka struggle to assemble ikea furniture). The instructions included are very straighforward and easy to follow.

Good quality and great price. My kitten enjoys it, doesn't use it daily but almost. If I take out the wand or laser pointer he will jump right on it. I drag it out into the middle of the room when I leave and he uses it more (have a camera on it). My older cat is not interested.

Very sturdy and well made.

It is great quality, easy to put together, small enough to sit a smaller spaces. Keep placing your fur baby on it so they know it is theirs. Slowly spin to get them used to the movement. Use catnip spray and treats for use in the beginning whenever they use the wheel.
