I finally found a cat wheel that I like and is built well. It should be here early next week.


Should be interesting getting the cats to use it!


Here's a link to pics of the wheel:

Looks awesome. I'm sure you won't have a problem getting your bold Bengals to use it.

You may not want to know. It's well over a grand with the shipping.
That's why I have taken so long to make up my mind to buy one. There are less expensive ones out there, but they look flimsy to me.
I know how hard bengals can be on things, so it needs to be sturdy and durable.

Knowing your kitties, I wouldn't put it past them.

I know that 8-Bit would drive a car if he knew how.

Yeah, well I'm gonna find out. They better use it.


Alot of my bengal breeder friends have wheels and the cats love 'em, so I'm hoping my crew will take to it.

Here's are some vid clips of some bengals on a wheel.

This is the best one!

Uh-oh! What am I getting myself into, adopting one of your furchildren???


I love those wheels - wish I had the space/money to buy one! My kits will just have to settle for racing through my apartment instead.

Radar would love that! When he was little he would knock over the waste paper bin, leap in, and roll around the floor in it. Alas he has outgrown the bin so that little avenue of joy and delight is no longer available to him. Or to us, it was extremely funny to watch. My budget won't stretch quite that far though! Maybe I'll just keep an eye open for a larger waste paper bin that isn't too heavy and rolls nicely

Nuh uh...might give me away!
Wow, that is steep.
Well, I'm not a breeder nor do I show by any means, so my two will just have to get exercise the old fashioned way...fighting each other! lol

I never would have thought of a wheel for cats, but the Bengals in the videos really look like they're enjoying themselves!
