Exercise Equipment for Cats | Pets

Indoor-only cats lead longer, healthier lives, but tend to sleep more and become fatter than their outdoor-roaming counterparts. Obese cats are at risk for diabetes, heart conditions, arthritis and a shortened life. Exercise will help keep Fluffy fit and trim, so encourage activity with feline-friendly exercise equipment.
Toys
Get Fluffy off the couch and burning calories in a vigorous play session for several minutes each day. Simple cat toys are very effective for cat exercise. Most cats find it hard to resist the elusive red dot of a laser light; leading to plenty of running, leaping and pouncing. Many cats enjoy chasing a piece of yarn or a bunch of feathers, so lead Fluffy in several laps around the house. A plastic milk jug lid and a tile or vinyl floor is all it takes to start a vigorous game of cat hockey. A crumpled paper bag or ball of aluminum foil gets most cats off the couch and happily playing.
Cat Trees
Cats instinctively climb to high places where they can safely observe their domain. Work that instinct to your advantage by providing plenty of climbing opportunities for your cat to to burn calories and improve his physical condition. Multi-level cat trees attract most cats, especially if positioned near a window for outdoor gazing. Some are quite elaborate, with ramps, hammocks, multiple towers and enclosed spaces. Hang feathers, rope or bell toys from the perches to keep Fluffy amused and active. If you have more than one cat, a larger cat tree with multiple levels will help prevent fighting over a perching spot.
Tunnels
Few cats can resist the allure of a tunnel. Perfect for hiding and pouncing, a tunnel gives your cat a good workout, then provides an excellent spot for a well-deserved nap. Most pet stores have collapsible cat tunnels made of lightweight, strong fabric that crinkles enticingly with Fluffy’s every step. If your cat doesn’t get the idea immediately, toss a few treats into the tunnel to lead her inside. For even more fun, dangle a feather toy outside the tunnel entrance, or shine a laser light toy into the tunnel to give Fluffy a thrill.
Cat Wheels
It’s not for every cat or every home, but a cat exercise wheel is one way to get Fluffy up and running. Most cat wheels are heavy plastic or metal with a sturdy base and look like an oversize hamster wheel. Some cats, particularly active breeds like Bengals, get the idea almost immediately, but many cats need some encouragement to run on their wheel. Don’t put an unsure cat on the wheel and spin it right away, or you’ll frighten her. Let her investigate the wheel, and offer her a treat when she climbs aboard. Shining a laser light toy onto the track inspires many cats to start chasing the elusive light; others begin jogging if you hold a treat in front of them. Be patient, and give Fluffy lots of praise whenever she gets on the wheel. With time, treats and encouragement, most cats learn to use a wheel and enjoy an excellent workout.
Always check with your veterinarian before changing your pet’s diet, medication, or physical activity routines. This information is not a substitute for a vet’s opinion.

Running wheel trainer for cats
Why is a running wheel useful and how to choose a trainer? Answers to Petstory
Sometimes cats, on the contrary, begin to move less every day and lie lazily on the windowsill for days on end. This may indicate that the animal has adapted to the dimensions of human habitation and is used to suppressing the desire to run. In such cases, the pet is threatened with the appearance of excess weight and other problems associated with physical inactivity.
To help your pet and entertain him, you can purchase a special trainer for cats – running wheel. It helps pets to always stay in great shape and get dopamine, a hormone necessary for the animal’s body, produced during active movement.
The most active breeds of cats
The need for movement is one of the basic ones, and how strongly it is developed in a cat depends on the nature of the particular animal. However, there are cat breeds for which a wheel is practically necessary. These include Bengal cats, Manx cats, Devon Rex, Burmese cats, Munchkins (their legs are about two times shorter than those of ordinary cats, but, oddly enough, this does not affect running speed), Siberian cats, Japanese Bobtails, Abyssinians, Burmese and, of course, Siamese cats.
The owners of representatives of these breeds should take a closer look at the running wheel, because their pets will definitely enjoy it. By the way, outbred cats are also happy to play sports on this miracle simulator.
Cat running wheel
What does it represent? Its design resembles those wheels that are often installed in cages for hamsters or squirrels. In European countries, this simulator for cats has long gained popularity, but it has recently appeared on the Russian market.
Now, in order to purchase a running wheel for a cat, it is not necessary to go to a special store. The device can be ordered online or assembled by yourself. And in the latter case, you can make a truly exclusive device, which can then be proudly demonstrated to guests.

How to assemble a running wheel for cats with your own hands?
In order to make the trainer yourself, it is highly desirable that you have enough experience with the tool. If you decide to assemble the wheel yourself, you will need the following materials:
Photo from Crafts Fair page
You will also need the following tools:
Welding machine;
Drill;
Roulette;
Pencil;
Wrenches;
Sandpaper.
So, first you need to assemble the frame of the future simulator, on which the wheel will subsequently be installed. To do this, using welding and a steel profile, we make the base. Next, you need to weld the crossbar with racks that will hold the wheel.
After that, we proceed directly to the wheel.
