Cinny and Ixas - RUN!!!

[Harp]

amazing, such a great little video. this makes me want to get a cat wheel so bad. the other cats in the house dont play with atlas as much as he needs while im at work so he is becoming a bit lazy.

how hard was it to train them to run on that thing?

Thanks Harp! Cinny and Ixas started running on the old cat wheel when they were babies - 2 months old...they would saunter up to it, get on it and I would just encourage them to run...plus they saw their mother running

Zuri started running when she was about a year old...the first time I just put some treats in front of her nose, she started chasing them and the rest is history! So, it is pretty easy...some people use a teaser wand to get them started and others a laser toy...

Any time! I will get another wheel from this company next year as Cinny, Zuri and Ixas are addicted and the plastic cat wheel doesn't cut it anymore...

Whew! Just contacted Maclaws....$1ooo. is a lot of bucks for a wheel delivered to me! Could cut that if not custom designed---but still.......which child should I sell for this toy?

I know - it is very expensive for a number of reasons...the US Govt is one...for me, it was worth it, but I can see how it would not be for others

Probably most of it is for shipping and handling too!

Just asked hubby if he could make one--after making him watch videos (he liked Yours!) and basically he gave me the " are you nuts?" look.

Shipping was almost $900...then the wheel was another $900...
