Place bowl at the end of the treadmill (the treadmill has an enclosed shield around it to avoid the cat cheating).
Turn on the motor and a fly-wheel spins up to maintain a good 30 seconds of speed. Since the treadmill is on a slight incline, once up to speed the cat chasing the food actually keeps
the flywheel going and recharges the battery.
But wait, there's more. With our infusion cataliser, beverages can be agitated sans human energy simply my raising a mug under the rotating aerial attachment.
A pair of cogs turns the vertical aerial into a downward stirring device. This is a bit like an old speed governor and has wing surfaces that fold down under the pressure provided by the liquid.
Put the kettle on and feed/exercise the cat.

you trying to sneak a fast one past us? I know we
have had cat treadmills before... |

I like the general idea, but I feel I've got to do this:

There we go, category fixed. |

[shapu] Had a good laugh at utube yesterday, but none of the vids feature using food as an incentive, and you're completely overlooking the cat powered beverage stirrer. |
