My husband and I are celebrating our 1 y/o cat recently becoming comfortable with the cat wheel we got him, even going full tilt on it on his own 😌 We’re very proud of his accomplishment!
I'm thinking about getting one, you want to share the brand?
We bought an unbranded version off Alibaba, it works just the same as the branded ones and was a lot cheaper. But the trade off was the first one they sent was smashed to pieces in transit and took like 3 months to sort everything out, which was a huge PITA. So I would go that route if you’re willing to wait/communicate with the Chinese manufacturer if they don’t pack it securely and it gets smashed, and if you value your time more than I do I would get a branded version.
My wife and I just got an upstairs cat tree for our timid (but simultaneously loves to play and is very cuddly at night) rescue cat so she can better assert her dominance over those pesky outdoor birds. Safely inside of course.
Yay! My cat bravely pounced at (safely inside the glass door) and startled away a pair of these today! So brave!
