The One Fast Cat running wheel is an exercise wheel for cats designed by Chris Farley. This allows [house cats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neko-yama) to explore their hunter instinct while getting exercise at the same time and maintaining their domesticity. This product is also eco-friendly as it is made out of recycled plastics and a 'closed cell EVA foam' that prevents catching claws. Currently seeking funding via crowdfunding platform [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/litterbot-pro), the cat hamster wheel is assembled at home and is easy to clean. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 48% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pet Exercise Equipment:** The rise of unique pet exercise equipment like cat hamster wheels presents an opportunity for pet companies to meet the demand for innovative ways to keep pets active. - **Eco-friendly Pet Products:** Consumers are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious and demand for eco-friendly pet products like the One Fast Cat running wheel presents an opportunity for companies to stay ahead of the competition. - **Crowdfunding for Pet Products:** Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter provide an opportunity for up-and-coming pet product companies to raise capital and get the backing they need to launch products like the cat hamster wheel. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Pet Retail:** Creating and selling innovative pet exercise equipment like the One Fast Cat running wheel can set retailers apart and lead to increased revenue. - **Pet Manufacturing:** Manufacturing eco-friendly pet products creates an opportunity for companies to not only appeal to environmentally conscious consumers, but also reduce their carbon footprint. - **Pet Crowdfunding:** Crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter provide pet product startups with an opportunity to raise capital and create a community of engaged backers who can help spread the word about new and innovative products like the cat hamster wheel. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Mode Smart Cat Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerble-wicked-ball-m3.md) - [Automatic Butterfly Rotating Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exercise-flutter-toy.md) - [Feline-Friendly Music Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-music-box.md) - [Smart Cat Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-pawswing-neo.md) - [Autonomous Cat-Grooming Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pawswing-purrring.md) - [Cat-Friendly Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wisesky-wcat-air-purifier.md) - [Open-Style Smart Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furoomate-litter-box.md) - [Feline-Friendly Drying Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dmuse-cat-tower.md) - [Automated Mounted Cat Brushes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-cat-brush.md)
