Filmmaker Captures the Underside of a Cat on an Exercise Wheel With an Embedded Insta360

Every cat I've ever had before Pumpkin has either been an indoor/outdoor cat (when I was little or a guest in the house), or at least would insist on being allowed out on the back porch with supervision.

So imagine my surprise when little miss Pumpkin here has never tried to go outside! I was expecting at least one bolt attempt based on past history, but she's decided she likes staying in, haha.

She does well in her backpack/harness and in the car and we're still taking her on walks, but she just hasn't adjusted to being *actually* outside! One time we tried to show her our porch and she launched herself out of my arms and back inside, lol, so we've decided to listen to her.

She absolutely adores her exercise wheel, and we recently moved it to our back door so she can run while watching the birds at the feeder! She uses it multiple times a day and yowls at us if we don't stop what we're doing and watch/praise her. 😸🙄 So we're not worried about her activity levels since we got it!

I was fully prepared to meet her in the middle and help her be an Adventure Cat with lots of time on her leash, but she's decided otherwise. Again, I have no idea how I ended up with the most cat-like rabbit and then the most rabbit-like cat, but hey!

My cat likes to walk on her wheel while I’m on my exercise bike. The way she looks at me makes my heart melt 😻😭

Looking for a post

A handful of years ago, I came across a post about a researcher or team putting a hamster-sized exercise wheel in a forest floor to see if other critters would use it.

Not the one with the slug, I’ve found that one.

This one had images/video/gifs of other small critters running on it. Like mice, maybe some birds?, chipmunks, a snake or two, there may have been a frog or toad, etc…

I’m reasonably sure I reblogged it, but I haven’t always been great about tagging things precisely.

If you know what post I’m talking about, please slide it my way. Thank you!!

Exercise wheel for indoor cat. A good idea not always well executed…
