This is a cute mini-video of a Bengal cat mom and her two kittens doing a daily workout on a feline treadmill. It is good to see. I love to see cats exercising. Treadmills are still fairly rare in homes perhaps because cat owners are unsure if their cat will use it.  How many cat products bought with great passion and love are discarded because the cat can see no use in it? A lot I suspect. But one of the great problems in the way of life of indoor domestic cats is getting enough to do. There aren't enough challenges. Cats are fed and pampered. There is no need for them to exercise their hunting skills and their brains.  Result? Boredom and sometimes obesity to the detriment of their overall health and welfare. Cats need to challenged just like humans. Note: this video is likely to stop working at some time in the future as it appears to be in possible breach of copyright. If it does fail I am sorry but I have no control over it. A car (not a typo!) needs to be used to keep ...

I've linked two good YouTubes in earlier posts, but here's my favorite of the "cats on treadmills" YouTube subculture: Two Cats On Treadmill Teh two kittehs sure have different "exercise styles", don't they!

h/t to TRex for the title. TRex is a wordsmith nonpareil. Ages ago, I sent TRex the YouTube link for November Gets on the Treadmill. I actually found it for a Neuroscience course I was teaching, but knowing what a kitteh lover he is, I had to send it to him. I reminded him of this in comments at his last (for now) post at I Am Trex, during a blog party to send him off in style, to write his book. He's Gone Fishing' TRex said in response: I love that clip. It got me obsessed with cats and treadmills. There’s a whole subculture of YouTube clips out there of cats trying to exercise off that belly paunch. Who knew they were so concerned with their figures? TRex said he loved this one the best, among the YouTube subculture of cats on treadmills: 2 funny cats / kittens running on the treadmill

November Gets on the Treadmill is one of the first best kitteh videos I found at YouTube, maybe 2 years ago. It's still a classic! The sound track is from The Karate Kid . And, here's another great YouTube, from the movie. Joe Esposito - You're the Best Around Oh, and, BTW, the "Karate Kid" is Ralph Macchio. He's also Billy Gambini, one of the "two yutes" defended by his cousin Vincent LaGuardia Gambini, in My Cousin Vinny . The Toobz just go every where, don't they?
