[cypher]

My did smell oddly sweet yes, very strange but it went away really quickly!
It got a little bit of a test drive last night, Whisper was quite happy to jump in & have a little run, a quick run around her play box then she was back in for another go, she wasn't go full speed but turned it easy enough & did seem to like it.
I think the bit that joins the plastic strip ends will get some pee in it but it is very tight so shouldn't be much so I don't think taking the whole wheel apart for cleaning would need to be done that often, time will tell!
