It turns out that an exercise treadmill wheel is a great exercise device not only for hamsters, but also for cats! Inventor Sean Farley and his team in California came up with a giant replica of the hamster wheel designed to entertain bored cats. The device lets our little feline friends spend their days exercising instead of just lying around the house.
Called One Fast Cat, the wheel helps the house cats use up their pent-up energy, which would normally be spent hunting. Exercising instead of lying around keeps the cat more lively and energetic all day long.
The creators explain on their website that:
In field testing our cat wheel has proven to not only enhance the physical well-being of our cat but altered her disposition to be more relaxed and calm.
Hamsters, rats, cats – they all use wheel treadmills to fight boredom and to exercise. Maybe we should too?

I would love to see my cat use something like this. She is scared of the treadmill when it is moving.
Our cats would love this! Keeps them fit for sure.
my big one is sooo lazy, if could get him onto such a wheel, he would definitely get less “plushy” 🙂
I have owned this wheel for 3 weeks now and my fat cat WAS enjoying it and running like a cheetah. Until he went airborne, landed hard and caused the wheel to BOUNCE off the tracks and land on it’s side! Scared the crap out of both of us and now the company isn’t responding to my email or posts on their FB page so I am resorting to posting negative comments on the internet to warn people of the danger of this product! BEWARE OF THE POOR DESIGN AND LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
Not sure my cats would even bother – they are soooo lazy!!! such a cool idea thought :p human size? check out my kitty crew http://www.themummytoolbox.com/?p=23
