This is a 33.9-inch cat exercise wheel with a scratching surface and a small shelf worked into the frame, so it functions as a piece of cat furniture rather than only a treadmill. Indoor cats with no outlet for a sprint tend to burn it off at 3am, and a wheel gives them somewhere to put that. The smaller 33.9-inch diameter fits rooms where a 48-inch wheel will not, though very large breeds do better on the bigger sizes. Teaser attachments help with the training phase, which takes patience since most cats do not step onto a wheel unprompted. Best fit: high-energy indoor cats, apartments with no catio, and multi-cat homes that need a second outlet.
Pros
- Scratcher and shelf built in, so it is cat furniture and not just an exercise machine
- 33.9 inches fits apartments where a 48-inch wheel physically will not
- Gives a high-energy indoor cat somewhere to put the 3am sprint
- Teaser attachments included for the training phase, which every wheel needs
Cons
- Most cats need weeks of patient training before they use it, and some never take to it at all
Frequently asked questions
Will my cat actually use it?
Some take to it in days, many need weeks of treat-and-teaser training, and some never do. High-energy breeds like Bengals and young cats have the best odds.
Is 33.9 inches big enough?
It suits small to medium cats. A large breed or a long-bodied cat will arch its spine on a wheel this size and does better at 45 inches or more.
Is it loud when they run?
There is a rolling sound. It is quieter than a cat sprinting across hardwood at 3am, which is usually the alternative.
How stable is it on carpet?
The base is designed for a flat surface. On thick carpet it can rock slightly, so a hard floor or a firm mat underneath is better.
