What Did Your SV(s) Get For Xmas?

That is a really nice wheel! Where did you get it? The wheels we get here are now made of plastic and also made in China! The Cat Wheel Company has already had to send me a replacement after only one year of use :(
That is a really nice wheel! I looked into those ones, they're from the UK so I figured it was out of the question as I can only imagine it costs an arm and a leg to ship them over here. They're also bigger than the Toy Go Round I think 52" vs. 43" if I remember correctly. They definitely seem much more sturdy as well being wood rather than plastic. Does your Toy Go Round make noise or squeak? Mine is totally quiet, but it wouldn't surprise me if it started to squeak over time. Just gotta keep the bearings lubricated is my guess. But definitely let me know if there's anything that I need to keep an eye on. So far after 1 day whole day lol I've been very happy. Now I just have to get the two kitties to use it regularly.

Scott, it is really quiet at first and then begins of make lots of squeaks...I have to take it apart since lubing doesn't really work that well...I just saw an awesome wheel made in the UK as well...http://www.maclawwheel.co.uk/content/what-is-the-maclaw-wheel.shtml - I may end up eventually getting this one, since it is a well made wheel and may be worth the money...

I do not like the fact that the Cat Wheel is made of plastic and in China...but at least the company replaced the wheel (has a hole in the back that the kittens found)...however, I had to pay for the shipping. So I now have two wheels...I may sell the new one, which is still in the box and buy the one made in the UK...Zuri just really wears out this plastic wheel :( The rubber pads are all coming up as well and the kittens are trying to eat the pieces...I was happy until I started noticing all these issues...I will be doing a product review on the Cat Wheel Toy Go round

This wheel is made ​​in Moscow. It is made of wood (you will laugh:) ) and plastic (plastic - where felines traces), wheel bearings from some car. The price of this wheel in Moscow, as you have - 570$. I am very glad that when cats use the wheel there is no noise. I want to add a wheel weighs 60 kg ;) and its dimensions - diameter 120 cm and width 32 cm

That is an awesome wheel and looks to be very well made...doesn't matter if it has some recycled parts...I really like it...it is much better made than the wheels we have in the USA (which are made in China)

I read the advertisement of the Maclaw's wheel - it is, in my opinion, an excellent and not too expensive with the delivery ...Nice choice :)
