Our cats are some mixed breed of unknown pedigree, but they still run around the house a LOT. At the end, they might not play on the wheel, who knows. But from videos I've seen, with some insensitive to chase, they might, and some appear to enjoy it, at least for short periods of time. Anything that distracts them from clawing the couch would be a bonus ;) If they get bored, will sell/donate it, or somehow repurpose it. We got a friend with some ferrets - they might play in it, or I can dry my drysuit on it after a paddle ;)

Anyway
