Two cats on a treadmill.

Hee. Silly cats. I laughed when the calico's paws almost disappeared into a blur.

It's so funny that they keep at it for so long... I wonder if there was some sort of treat stashed at the head of the treadmill?

I did too, ej... I was eating lunch and almost choked myself.

taz, it seems most cats would just go around the treadmill if there was a treat there. I'm shocked they kept at it so long, too, though. I wish I could figure out a way to get my cat Bob to do this! He could use it.

Yeah, I was thinking possibly something was positioned in such a way that it couldn't be accessed except from the "tread" section? I just can't imagine a cat sticking with it otherwise, but then I'm no personal feline trainer.

So could Bailey. But she'd just stand still, fall off the end and then give me The Look before waddling back to her sofa.

I was thinking, "oh, no" when they were increasing the speed.

I was not expecting to laugh out loud. I love the "two paw" walk.

Man those are some seriously expando tails! I LOL'd at the one at the end of the treadmill. He probably thought he was making it go!

Oh my god that was too funny. Thank you.

I started chuckling, then started to laugh. For some reason, I found it entertaining. Now that slacker with their hind leg on the floor was too funny. Loved how they cocked their ears back...'what is this now'./

Some painted mice on the tread would no doubt pick up the entertainment factor a notch or two. Diagonally left then jogged to the right.

Ha! I could see a couple of my cats having fun with this.
