The girls hit the excercise wheel inspite of the record heat here of 90 F.
Of course they aren't going full tilt, just a casual walk. Too hot for anything crazy.

Can you send a few Bengals down here to teach mine how to use their wheel?
I have had mine over 2 years now and still only Kiko will get on it and not even do what your girls were doing.


Those are beautiful girls, of course theirs spots and colors are beautiful, but I also loved the coloring on their tails.

Thanks Pam!


You know, I can't figure out why most other breeds of cats, including mixed breeds won't use a wheel. Bengals almost universally take to it, with little or no coaxing.
The girls using it are only 5 months old and have been on the wheel since 4 months of age. I don't introduce them younger than that.
I have introduced much older bengals to the wheel and they go right for it.

Not sure what it is. I know our Maine Coon won't even stand on it, he hates it. I have seen Aby's using a wheel before.
I'm wondering if the Singapura we are getting will use it.

I can always send Titan down to you for awhile. He is the master!

Well, it's now obvious to me, domestics must grow up with Bengals in order to appreciate that which is THE WHEEL. Especially if they are little stray domestics that were adopted and learned to be "bengul."

Baby Bonnie uses ours on a daily basis, and she loves it when I wiggle my finger just out of her reach to entice her to run, just like you were doing with the girls.


Max goes for nightly, long, casually-paced walks, just like your girl was doing there - by the way, I love how you always come up with just the right music for your videos, lol.

And Penny, well, you know Penny, she throws one paw to the outside for leverage and gets that wheel a-smokin'!

Here's the one Susan couldn't find. It shows Titan really going for it at the end. He IS the master of the wheel.

This is the video Jim saw when I was showing him what my cats were going to be doing once we got the wheel

That video is great! Those cats you have are just gorgeous.

Is it hard to train them to use that wheel? it's very cool
