I learned this the hard way after my Himalayan, Mochi, developed a mat the size of a walnut right in her groin area-a spot I could barely reach without her squirming. The real issue isn't just frictio…

I learned the hard way that wheel diameter isn't the only factor-the track width matters just as much. My first Mau, Bolt, would hit top speed on a 48-inch wheel, but he'd constantly drift sideways an…
