One Fast Cat - Cat Exercise Wheel - Gen. 7 - Safe 48" Diameter - Made in The USA - Black Wheel with Gray Felt Traction Pads and Solid Black Inline Wheels

I have 4 cats all under 5yrs old & all are fixed. The two older ladies are rather large girth-wise and they are 3 & 4. The other two are a set of twins M/F both are just about 1yr. They are not over-weight and they are longer than the two older chunky ones. The older two don't want anything to do with it really. They are plumpkins and like to lay around soft blankets all day but the twins are on it several times a day. It seems to be the best thing that's happened to them since the 5 tube maze i got them earlier in the year. It's fantastic for them to get some of the pent up energy they have and tho they still have the zoomies it's cut down half of it, especially the middle of the night Daytona 500 race they love to do. This particular one I purchased (after lots of research) was perfect. Expensive yes but WELL WORTH IT!! I even bought the biggest one I think and honestly it's not big enough! But it's almost perfect! The size here counts, i cant stress that enough because they run on it not just walk and when they run they get pretty high up there but you can see where a smaller one would fold them in half the wrong way and they will hurt themselves or hurt each other because many times they are both on it together. I mentioned their ages and sizes because it makes a huge difference. Obviously kittens under 4 months might get lost on a big wheel but remember they grow very fast. If you can afford a smaller one for that age and buy the big one when they are teenagers and adults then by all means do so, but I don't have that luxury and was very apprehensive when buying this because of the cost and very relieved when they jumped on it so many times daily. The other two are missing out. I bought the one that lights up at the bottom when they are running. I did it because the room it's in isn't very lit up. You don't really need it, it doesn't make or break the wheel. It's just a matter of taste. The inside part they run on is a different story. You can use the colors to match the room it's in or not. I put a light grey carpet type in. Because the area is a bit dark I thought they'd be able to see it better. They seem to be good with it. Another thing is that this one is fairly quiet. I've read many of these wheels are loud. This one doesn't bother me at all. It's in my living room in which I sleep on a hospital bed in and it never wakes me up. The AC is much louder. The other great thing about this wheel was putting it together. There's two types of wheels. One that's complicated and takes hours to put together and one that is the complete opposite. This one is the latter of the two. It went together very easily and also pretty quickly. It's the top of the line in exercise wheels. It's literally perfect. It may be big but it doesn't take up alot of space and the inside is wide enough to allow two cats on it together. It's heavy enough to not tip over no matter how rough they are and these babies are definitely rough with their toys. But its not so heavy that it's hard to move around. They only get on it together when they fight over who's turn it is next. Happy, my female twin decided that this is HER wheel and she only allows her brother on it when she's done or taking a break but as soon as she wants it back best believe she gets it back instantly. She also displays much gratitude for it and will run to me to show me that gratitude or leaves me little presents in my bed like her favorite toys or balls. Point being she has been so much happier than she was before the wheel came. (I did name her Happy Kat when we got her as a kitten) The quality is fantastic. It's not flimsy at all and I feel safe letting them go nuts on it. They also feel safe and very confident. Their tails are always straight up like flag poles. One last thing, train them using a Lazer light. Put it just high enough inside the wheel to encourage them to catch it. It made them start using the wheel instantly. Don't bother trying to hang up a toy to get them to use it because it will go all the way around. And really lastly...BUY THIS WHEEL, ITS PERFECT!!! You won't regret it!!

I did a lot of research before buying this cat wheel, and I ended up getting this one and I am SO happy I did. The first reason why I purchased this one is because One Fast Cat does a 30 day money back guarantee, so if your kitty doesn’t take to it you can return it. That is worth it right there. I didn’t know if my cat would like it or use it so that was a huge plus. Also the reviews are great for this product, and the same price on their website! Plus different padding options and prints! It took about 10 minutes to put together (probably would have taken less if my cat wasn’t so curious about it. She was on it before I even had the padding on it), it is very easy to assemble. It is very good quality and very quiet (it makes noise, but not enough to hear in a different room) I have had it for about 5 months now and my cat is still obsessed with it. It is a large wheel but if you have the room, treat your baby. She also lost her little tummy within two weeks of having it. It keeps her busy, healthy, and she cracks me up! 5 months in and still in great shape, very durable and worth every penny!

I'm pretty happy with the quality. Assembly was easy alone. I am concerned with the exposed wheels, can't a cat's tail get caught in that really easily? I have two cats and maybe one might get too close on the outside. There might be a slight problem with the unit I got, no matter what I do the track shifts to one side and causes squeaking on one wheel, which also slows it down. Lastly, the whole assembly can wobble if you put it on carpet. If the bases were wider it might be better, although it'd take up more space. I don't have enough space on the wood floor in my apartment for it. My cats haven't fully learned to use it yet but I'm excited for them to try. Update: About 1 month later, both my cats have learned to use it and enjoy it. They meow at me to watch and encourage them haha. I am keeping the 4 star review, the one wheel still squeaks at low speeds in one direction and I can see how the wheels will wear down over time, but they still move smoothly. The fabric on the inside has started to fray a little. It would be nice if the outside of the wheel was more than just the plastic bottom of the track, which can scratch you if you try to stop it from there. I'm also weary of how easy it is for the wheel to come off the tracks, you just have to lift it. I wish it would lock or secure somehow, but I'm sure there's a reason for that. Those are just some notes and areas for improvement in my opinion, but I don't regret purchasing.
