Looking almost like a futuristic hamster wheel, the [exercise machine has a connected design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spacewalk-5l) that will let owners keep an eye on how much time your cat is spending on it. Owners can also see just how many calories their feline is burning during each session to ensure they are getting an optimized level of daily activity. The unit will also help to extend the flexibility of the cat by encouraging longer strides as they walk or run. The Little Cat Treadmill is priced at $1,800 and is slated for availability starting later this year. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Connected Pet Exercise Machines:** Developing smart exercise machines for pets that can be monitored by owners for optimal health. - **Indoor Pet Fitness Solutions:** Innovative solutions that cater to the fitness needs of pets kept indoors. - **Connected Health-tech for Pets:** Integrating connected technology into health and fitness regimes for pets. ### Where This Applies - **Pet Care Industry:** Opportunities for growth and diversification within the pet care industry by offering connected exercise products. - **Fitness Equipment Industry:** Opportunities for expansion into the pet fitness sector by offering connected and innovative machines. - **Health-tech Industry:** Developing health-tech products that work for pets as well as humans for overall wellness benefits. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Smart Home Fitness Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/merach.md) - [Connected Cat Activity Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-cat-collar.md) - [All-in-One Cat Care Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teendow-xlym.md) - [Tech-Forward Compact Treadmills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-treadmill.md) - [Multi-Mode Smart Cat Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerble-wicked-ball-m3.md) - [Smart Cat Grooming Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-grooming-pod.md) - [AI-Assisted Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfcleaning-litter-boxes.md) - [AI-Powered Cat Doors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flappie.md) - [Subscription-Based Pet Doors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onlycat.md)
