I have one that I converted from a baby buggy:

The boys love to ride in it, and I've had nothing but genuine interest and positive comments. :)

Tim I love your idea :thumbsup: That turned out really well!!

I've seen the pet ones in the stores, but most of them don't look all that sturdy ... Pippin alone is 15lbs so add Merri & Sam in there and we need something with 4 wheel drive!! :lmao:

They come over, ooh and ahh, and sometimes stike up a nice conversation about cats. It's a great way to meet people. :)

Yes, I have a kitty stroller. And yes, I take them outside in it! :blush: They love it!!

I don't! I think my cats would freak out too much. :duh: Well, I bet Marley would do okay! I thought JJ bought one?

Tim, that's great!! :thumbsup:

Yep, I have one. Sometimes I'll take a kitty or two to the petstore with me in it.

I've thought about getting one for Misha before, it would be good for a change of scenior for her without the dangers...for now, I've been taking her on walks on Sunday on her leash...she does pretty well on it, I let her go within reason, :rolleyes: where she wants to with two exceptions: 1. We don't walk in the dirt near the field. 2. We don't go under cars. Two of her favorite spots, and a big no, no...

I always wanted one, I think they are a great way to get the cats out safely.

Tim, that is absolutely precious! user posted image I bet you do get a lot of people stopping to talk.

On of the girls at TCP-Astrid-had a stroller thing that attached to the back of her bike and rolled along. It was really cute, too.

:thumbsup: Good point...especially if you have more than 1 kitty.

Tim, you are so creative!! :thumbsup:

I'm still trying to imagine Tim pushing a kitty stroller down the street :lmao:

I think they're a great idea and we've considered getting one.

**I fixed it for you, Allie** :)

When I move to a quieter neighbor hood I like to get one.

Donaldjr1969 - December 26, 2006 03:03 AM (GMT)
Just a thought. Is it possible that a cat stroller would increase an indoor cat's desire to escape and explore on their own?

coaster - December 26, 2006 03:54 AM (GMT)
It's a consideration. But in my experience I think maybe it's just the opposite. Getting outside in a pet stroller (or in my case the "buggy") gives the cats the experience of getting out and seeing, hearing, and smelling what's going on outdoors -- different sensory stimulations -- while still staying "inside" so to speak -- inside the safety of the stroller. My cats will hide in the back of the buggy under the hood when going past a neighbor mowing the lawn or when a motorcycle comes by, for instance. And another thing (this is just a theory) -- going about the neighborhood in the buggy gives them some familiarization with the area just in case they do get out.

Those are my own interpretations of my own experience; I haven't read anything to either support them or refute them. :)
