@sarahdalgulls I have questions! How did you train him to use the wheel or did he just take to it? (I’d really like one for Mike if it helps him keep active as an indoor cat)
Edit: just seen the account has details on the setup used to record it. I LOVE this ❤️

@LDJ it took about a fortnight, I used lick-e-lix (cat yogurt) to tempt him onto the wheel, then held it just out of reach to get him to walk, and lots of praise when he did walk. I then would smear it on the wheel (bit gross) so he'd sort of follow the trail? You have to be very persistent for about a fortnight, I'd try to get him onto the wheel and walking a few times a day, lots of treats and praise. Then one day he went on and walked on his own?
