I never heard of a cat wheel. That looks great! ---

Cygnus is super high energy. I have to tire him out during the day if he’s going to sleep through the night. I borrowed the wheel from a friend who couldn’t get her cats to use it, but I managed to get Cygnus on it within a few days. He seems to enjoy it now, and will use it on his own, though I think he still expects treats as a reward. The One Fast Cat FAQ says that if you can get your cat to jump on a chair using a treat, then they’ll probably take to the wheel. That seems accurate to me. Cygnus is pretty smart, but more importantly, he’ll do anything for a treat. ---

The fuzzy devil comes by it naturally! It was from a short video I took today. Your cat wheel is too cool! Looks like fun, I have one other cat that likes to sit and spin on a bar stool. He’s happy go around and round gripping it for all he’s worth. These other two turn inside out if I try to put them on It. ---

Posted this in the MMP but figured I’d cross-post to here. I have a pillow on the floor so I can lie on my back with my feet propped up. (Ankles have been a bit swollen lately.)

I just got the results of Bob’s DNA test back. Here’s the thing … as I’ve related before, when I got him I was told he was a Shepherd/Mastiff mix who came up from Texas with a young couple who then couldn’t find a place large enough to keep him. I suspect they were too busy to train him - he was pretty wild when I got him. When I brought him to the vet he said he thought he might have a little Great Dane in him. That’s the story I’ve told whenever anyone asks me. Now I have some concrete results and I think it makes his story a little clearer. I’m betting he was an “accident” with a breeder and was sloughed off. He is 100% German Shepherd Dog on one side (it doesn’t say paternal or maternal). And then on the other side there is a line of 100% Pit Bull! mixed with some GSDs mutts and a Mastiff at the the Great Grandparent Level. So cool to know for sure. “He’s a German Shepherd / Pit Bull mix … no you can’t have my wallet.” > **[Bob’s Embark Dog DNA Results](https://my.embarkvet.com/dog/bob348?utm_campaign=cns_ref_dog_pub_profile&utm_medium=other&utm_source=embark)** > > Embark dog DNA test - Bob wants to share his results with you!
