Catswall Cat Wheel Review

I have also been very pleased with the fountains from Glacier Point. I agree with the sentiment that they are the best.

Remember the Laughing Squid gps tiles? I ordered a set of 4 so when they finally arrive either late this year or early next I will also have to upgrade my iPhone. I look forward to testing those out.

Yes, Glacier Point fountains are awesome!!! Only fountains I use!

No, I do not remember the gps tiles...

I'd like to see some images of the wheels as they are set up in the base. No reason the concept shouldn't work, obviously just poor execution.

Yep, really poor execution. And I was really rooting for theirs to not be garbage.

Paige, do you remember how many casters/skateboard wheels they used? I did mine with roller blade wheels (same bearings as skateboard wheels, just bigger plastic around it), and I found that I needed four sets (e.g., eight total) to maintain stability. Outside of stability, two wheels too close together didn't give enough freedom when the center of gravity changed, and two wheels spread apart creates way too much of a racket because they're essentially supporting twice the weight.

Paul, let me see if I can remember...
 
I was wondering.... how stable was this cat wheel? I have seen a few vids of tjis or similar ones in use and it seamed stable.... But I was puzzled how it managed to stay on the tracks with out falling over when in use. I would appreciate your observations.

I saw the PetGo wheels this weekend at the cat show and they are awesome! Made in the USA and of metal and steel...the catswall wheels are made in Taiwan of MDF, so if they get wet, say good bye to your investment.
