    Some cats, like my Sparkle, are very outgoing and enjoy strollers. Other cats are more 'shy,' and would be nervous.

    Warning: I suggest either make certain the stroller is totally closed in, OR keep harness and leash on kitty, with leash in your hand.

    Many of my cats are indoor only and the whole idea of being outdoors would spook them.

    I think Cali might really enjoy it, Diego not so much. But it gets so HOT in our condo that I thought it might be nice to get them out in the breeze. I've tried harnesses and leashes on the deck, but to no avail, they both lie there like they're dead until I take the harness off. No harness they're both more than game to go on the balcony, but it's not safe that way.

    My mom and dad have a neighbor who walks with her Bichons in a stroller. She gets some exercise and everyone gets some fresh air. My dad notices when they miss a day of walking because she lives by herself.

    If you and your kitties enjoy it, don't let other people's opinions bother you.

    It would be great if you could borrow one and see how he likes it. I love the one Bobcat is showing, that would be perfect for when I take Fister to the vet - I use an old stroller, if I can't get anyone to drive him.

    I wouldn't care if people would call me a crazy cat lady or whatever. If the cats like it, why not. If they don't like it, they will tell you! I think Luna may have enjoyed this when she was younger.
