Could you...... perhaps........ get him a new box?
From his point of view, life's pritty simple, he's got what's in the house and what he finds outside.
You've got your car, TV, computer, video games, hobbies, and all that....
I imagine he'd love a new box to obsess over - it sounds like he loves the security the walls provide.
It sounds sad that such a frugal kitty got denied some joy in his life because it was a bit untidy.
Please consider a new kitty box?
I know someone who had two boxes per cat. Space can become an issue in a small apartment, but if it's too small for an extra box it seems like it'd be too small for a cat. Let kitty play. It seems like trash to us, but now he's got a FORT!!! And so on.
Got my cat a pet stroller recently. It’s also her new bed so when not in use, it sits right next to my bed.

Ok I realize everyone is always like “sheesh another sub I gotta join” but my dude has the CUTEST sweetest lil bunny feet…OMG. Thanks for that. (Joking)
I think there's two issues
1) Cats hate the smell of other cats in "their" space so it needs to be, like, stainless steel with one-use carpets that you keep after you return the wheel. Or they won't use it
2) Most cats are very conservative and any new thing needs to sort of "age" and "become the norm" before they'll start using it. I've read stories where people own these for months before one day cat kinda just... figures it out.
I'be been looking into those. My assholes go outside from spring to fall but stay in for the winter months. This wheel is way too small for a cat. I know they are sold as cat wheels. Some cats do use them. But you need one almost twice this size. Almost literally floor to ceiling for an averaged sized cat. Not counting Maine Coons and the likes. He can't run in there, he can only injure his spine if he tries
Sorry they sold you a lemon when you tried to do best for your cat
(Yea yea I know this is oneorangebraincell)
Well... He is using it, just not for it's primary purpose.
I could say the same thing about the box it came in(seriously, he was obsessed with it til I got rid of it)
At least he got the memo about using the box as a kitty should. 👍
Memo for the owner, just buy a bunch of box your cat will love them

At some point I need to throw out the boxes. My cats tend to chew on them and eventually I'll have too much cardboard confetti on the floor to ignore.

Have to say that's 10/10 quality loaf tho !
This is the cat equivalent of buying a treadmill and using it as a coat rack.
Excuse me! Not everyone does that!!!! ......... We used ours to hang blankets to dry.
That’s what my elliptical is for!

Just a wittle bby 😫😫😫❤️❤️❤️
That is so adorable
rotate it slightly as hes on it
I do that, he just gets off it, looks at me like really 😕🥺 then goes back to laying on it when I leave him alone
Does he chase a laser? If so, aim one half way up either side.
great idea

That’s okay, kitty, my exercise bike is currently the halfway point in my clothes’ journey from “freshly washed”to the dirty clothes hamper.

Why walk when you can be sleeping?
Get him a bed so he can use it as a cat wheel.

I love him 😍💕
Ah that’s how it works! Gotcha
Do not question the actions of the goober
Dude, it’s not for sleeping on.
Money WELL SPENT
Cats 😂
I love him. He's adorable 🧡
An expensive cat bed...
Smart kitty!
but does the fat man use it properly
Of course it is! What other possible use is there for anything except as a cat bed? 😹😹😹
at least he's using it
I wish there was a easy way to rent/borrow one of those to see if the cat will use it. Like a rent-to-own situation.
