Anybody have cats that will run a treadmill or a wheel?

Believe it or not, I once had a cat that would walk on the treadmill
when it was in motion and would seemingly be fascinated by walking
without going anywhere.

The other cat I had at the time would go flying out the back end of the
treadmill and never catch onto it. One would think that cat wasn't the
smart one; however, maybe this was all by design. :-D


I'm pretty sure I once saw something resembling a giant hamster
wheel for sale at a cat show. I can't, however, figure out how
to get a cat (especially Bubba) to use one, unless for some reason
they wanted to.


Any other suitable-to-the-boss ways of getting them some
exercise?

Yes, but most involve some effort on your part as well... kitty isn't
going to exercise unless you pitch in. :-D

Yeah. He'll chase the fish on a pole as long as I move it
for him, but it just doesn't seem like it burns enough
calories for him.
