Diy Cat Wheel

A DIY cat wheel is a fun and inexpensive way to provide your cat with exercise and enrichment. It is also a great way to keep your cat from getting bored and destructive.

To make a DIY cat wheel, you will need:

• Two pieces of plywood (4×4 feet)
• A caster
• A roller ball bearing
• Screws or nails
• Duct tape
• Foam board
• A rolling pin

Instructions:

1. Cut the plywood into two 4×4 feet pieces.
2. Find and mark the centers of the plywood pieces.
3. Use a compass to draw a 42-inch circle on each plywood piece.
4. Cut out the circles using a jigsaw or circular saw.
5. Attach the caster to one of the plywood circles, two inches from the top.
6. Attach the roller ball bearing to the same plywood circle, 18-20 inches below the caster.
7. Cut the foam board into thin strips and curve them using a rolling pin.
8. Glue the foam board strips to the inside of the second plywood circle, creating a platform for your cat to stand on.
9. Attach the two plywood circles together using screws or nails.
10. Duct tape any seams or openings.
11. Place the cat wheel in a safe location in your home and let your cat start running!

Here are some tips for making a safe and durable DIY cat wheel:

• Use sturdy plywood that is at least 1/2 inch thick.
• Make sure the caster and roller ball bearing are tightly attached to the plywood.
• Use strong duct tape to seal any seams or openings.
• Place the cat wheel on a flat, level surface.
• Supervise your cat while they are using the cat wheel.
