One Fast Cat Wheel Reviews

The "slow boat from China" update:

"Our first shipping container is on its way to port now! September 9th will see the container on the water and moving towards our shipping warehouse in Camarillo California. It will take approximately 16 days for the container to reach us, upon which we'll begin shipping the Cat Exercise Wheel out to all of our backers! This means we'll be shipping in the last week of September. Some backers will receive the wheel before the end of September, but the majority of our backers will receive it in early October. A shipping tracking link will be sent to the email address provided by each backer. We apologize for the slight lag in our delivery estimate."

And they had pictures of the box. Quite good looking, for a box.

Having chased this a bit, I was pretty stoked that someone came up with a solution to the shipping size. The design isn't really complex at all, it's just making the track tube in a fashion where it can be an assembly of smaller parts.

Despite ordering this wheel, I still have reservations about the diameter because of the length of our breed, their long stride and their enthusiasm about whatever they do. Also the stability displayed at the top of the wheel while a mild mannered bengal is cruising at a leisurely trot has caused me to have a vision of the track zooming towards a window at 30mph.

Anyway, I'm sure it will be fine and I'm just glad to have one on the way.

My "slow boat" comment was pure speculation. I don't see any hints on where the plastic is being molded.

There is a question from earlier today asking.

Yeah, tooling for molding plastic components is dirt cheap in China compared to here. Especially for prototypes.

Linda, I went for it. I admit to being a crowd- funding optimist.

Last comment about ETA (ETS? ETD?) was 5 days ago:

"...everything is on schedule! Containers are scheduled to ship to our shipping warehouse in the first week of September, which puts us on track to deliver the wheels to Kickstarter backers in mid September."

So I'm hoping to be able to write a review by the end of the month!
Were all waiting.....
