While the cat watches his owner at first, he soon wants to take the wheel himself and nimbly makes his way onto the exercise machine.

"Sometimes, I'll try walking on the treadmill, but Oliver immediately pushes me off," Ovya told Newsweek in a recent interview. "I did not teach him to do this."

"I bought the walking pad for myself originally but he took immediate interest in it," the Austin native continued.

"He started by putting his front paws on it and slowly got comfortable enough to walk on it & then eventually run on it."

Videos of Oliver's unexpected hobby have gone totally viral, with Ovya's page earning more than 19 million likes in total!

"He is like move out of the way let me show you how it's done," one user commented, while another said, "Why is no one talking about how he got off the belt."

The need for exercise varies from cat to cat and depends greatly on the age of the pet, but every house cat should get at least some physical activity every now and then to stay healthy and happy.

Cats become less active as they get older, but gentle play is still beneficial – especially if declining hearing or eyesight make outdoor exercise too risky.
