I can’t imagine a cat being so dumb as to fall for a hamster wheel.

What do you mean “Fall for”? That looks like fun.
Memeticansays:
Nice. Should build a much bigger one for the gym; it looks a lot more fun than a regular treadmill. Maybe even glue some obstacles to the thing. Aaaagh a Tree!
Oscar Goldmansays:
Ha ha! That’s an excellent idea.
Harry Josephsays:
In my experience a cat’s interest in a toy you provide varies inversely with the amount of trouble you went to. Your cat seems a rare exception. Or did you leave out the part about the catnip?
Oscar Goldmansays:
This thing is just begging for the full Stargate treatment.

We have a children’s playground park here in Hamilton, New Zealand that has a full size one of these for kids to play in. They love it. There is always a queue of kids waiting to give it go. Tough teenagers, brace themselves against the walls and do complete somersaults inside it like some sort of learner’s circus “German Wheel”
Matthewsays:
this is the ideal toy for a bengal cat… i am looking at building one atm and woul;d love to talk with you about your design
This is fantastic! I’ve seen videos of cats playing on these. Of course owner interaction is required. Shining a laser on the inside would be enough to motivate them. Would you be willing to shar the plans?
