Daddycat loves this video.
You may have heard about cat excercise wheels, but this is the best video of them all. If you skip to 2:08 you’ll see a cat actually galloping! I’ve never seen this in a cat excercise wheel video before.
Cats have class, and rarely go faster than a brisk canter, but this cat really shows how graceful and powerful us cats really are!
Unfortnately, Daddycat doesn’ t love me enough to spend $700 and buy me one…. oh no.. He’s gonna make me one. Has anyone seen any plans to make one out of wood? The difficult bit seems to be making the running platform, that’s a curved circle about 30cm x 1m diameter.
Can any woodworking kitties out there offer a suggestion??

That is a great video. We had not seen that video before, either.
Wow, pretty cool, but I don’t think there is any use in putting it on my Christmas list.
That is incredible – we’d almost spend the money just to see it work.
Oh my, the full-out running was amazing! I also like how they each took turns. I would love one of those!
That was amazing! Mum says that is what Eric needs. Eric has just hidden away.

This is quite amazing. We think that your daddycat can build you one. I really could use one and I not exercise enough.
Have a great night Freya!

Grrrreat video! We really enjoyed it!
Your dad is going to MAKE you one? He must REALLY love you.
What grace! Let us know when your dad makes you one.
We’re too lazy to have one of those….probably end up like mom’s treadmill….
What a neat video. We have never seen a kitty running in a wheel before. We hope your dad is able to make you one.
Mummy says that our Daddy loves this video too! Xanthe x
You should check out LC, Ayla & Iza’s dad’s cat blog. He also has a project blog – he may be able to help you. go to http://www.skeeterandlc.blogspot.com and there is a link to his project blog.
AWESOME – I’ve seen my Finnegan (aby) gallop like that when he got outdoors by mistake – just like a gazelle on the African plains!
If you get details on how to build one, please email me – would love to do it. Thinking maybe a wheel rim for a transport truck???
Hello, I have an idea on how you could make one, but it wouldn’t be exactly easy/cheap depending on whether you can get what I’m talking about. There are these barrels I see all the time at schools, in shops and so forth made of chipboard or corkboard of something (some kind of mulched up wood particle turned into a tube and given a bottom to work like a barrel). You can also use a round plastic bin if you can’t find them.
If you can get one of these from a hardware store or a shop that sells things for sewing/craft shops or other kinds of storage containers, you can cut up the bottom of it (so that it’s a slice however wide you want your wheel’s running path to be), and mount it on a turning joint to the wall (easiest option), or make a stand for it. There are joints you can buy at hardware stores that turn the way you want, or you can try modifying one of those fishing-reel style gadgets and glue the backing plate to the moving piece. Hope that made sense.
That sounds brilliant! But I can’t picture it – can you find any pictures or any other clues?
thanks!
