Obesity in cats is fast becoming the number source of veterinary visits and can lead to diabetes, arthritis, and hepatic lipidosis disease for our cats, among other things.

One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel is the world leader in cat exercise wheels and is the number 1 selling exercise wheel for cats in the market out there. It sports a unique “hubless” design or a wheel with no spokes or center, it is also called an orbital wheel design. Instead of a center spoke, the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel has four little rollers that support and stabilize the larger, center wheel. The four rollers are encapsulated in a plastic cover for better stability and safety so our little cat family members will not have accidents with them when they are using is. The most difficult thing about the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel is it needs assembly once purchased.

Personally, the assembly part was surprisingly a bit of a challenge like a more complicated Lego or a larger IKEA. But there are tons of material and helpful instructional videos online that made it easier and the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel support team can help talk you through the process. I do advise people who are not generally very good in putting things together to check out the videos online first so you will have an idea and feel if you can put this together, need a friend or a family to come over to do it for you or reconsider purchasing the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel at all. By the way, One Fast Cat Wheels provided really helpful video on assembling:

Like I said, the assembly is quite a challenge for the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel. The One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel is quite big and heavy at around more or less 50 inches in height. It is robust like a real exercise machine looks and feels. The One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel is made of durable, heavyweight plastic which gives it a distinct noise when your cats are using the system. The noise of the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel mainly comes from the rollers and large wheel when they do make contact, but the main running surface is covered with EVA foam to cushion the landing the cat’s paw makes.

Our Experience One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel

We have a circle of friends that are cat lovers, most of us own the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel or a different variation of it from different makers or different brands. Design wise, the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel has been far superior to all other exercise wheels for cats out there. I am not saying it is perfect, but it is the best for us in terms of design. The “hubless” design makes it easy for our feline family members to climb on and off of the system without posting any significant danger to them or the cats around them. The One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel is so easy to use that we found ourselves looking it up at night because my cats would use it in the middle of the night and the plastic rollers and the big wheel do tend to make quite a sound especially when it’s in the middle of the night.

But do not be fooled by this part of the story where I say my cats would climb on the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel even in the middle of the night, we had to go through a little training before they were able to come to a comfortable level where they would use the wheel by themselves. Another thing about the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel, do not buy it if you are the type of person who does not want to train your cats to use it. We had to train our cats for a month or so before they became comfortable enough with the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel. Even during the training phase, we instantly had this bond with our cats where we got to know them better and the training became a fun part of our play and quality time with our cats. We learned for example that our cats are divided into two categories, the ones that need food as their main driver to get on the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel and the other ones are the curious ones where you would need playthings and trinkets so that they will engage in it. After that, we would hang the food or the playthings (depending on whose turn it is) on top of the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel. Until such time as they are comfortable enough with the exercise wheel or they understood how it works enough that they do not need any drivers for them to start using it.

More or less a month or two or training and guiding them in using the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel, our cats just randomly jump up on it now to play and exercise. I am not exaggerating when I describe our cats as better versions of themselves now as compared to when they were not exercising or before the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel came into our collective lives. We noticed that our cats now are less cranky and less likely to stumble into any mischief when they are alone. We figured maybe all that pent-up energy that they used to have are gone and they are generally more balance in disposition because of it. My family also noticed that our cats seemed to take on this shiny aura, it might just be me or the One Fast Cat Exercise Wheel might have a direct effect on the health and look of our cats. They seem to be eating a lot better and spritelier too.
