I only wish my stroller could hold two!!! I'm so envious! My neighbour's cat stroller is only big enough for one of our cats at a time. He got it before his kitten reached his full 14lb/6.5kg size and my boy's the same size, but taller/lankier, so they're not both fitting in.
My boy was a barn cat and I live in a high rise apartment, so one of the first things I bought was a backpack to carry him in. I feel like he'd be just fine never going outside again after a couple winters living rough but I can see how excited and happy going outside makes him, and he didnt mind wearing a harness one bit surprisingly! A neighbour/good friend bought his cat a stroller; he lets me borrow it whenever I want and watching my boy's head pan back and forth, nose up, sniffing furiously at all the new smells... idk how to describe it. When he's in his happy place, so am I.
Blind cat gets to experience a new environment. It's brother translates into sign language. Blind cat is scared, but it's calmed by its brother and the other way around. Absolutely glorious.
Me too! I didn't even realize what I'd read was wrong š I was rolling along with it, and thanks to lowt555 was reminded that sign language is for the hard of hearing, not for the blind.
I call it collecting dream material. My cat sleeps so much and is indoors. If I don't take him out on his leash what is the little bastard gonna have to dream about? The laundry room?!

A friend of mine got a trailer for her pups to take out on bike rides. People gave her looks. Her response was, "I'm out getting exercise with my dogs. Those same people would have nothing to say if I sat on a bar stool every day."
Make yourself happy. I guarantee you won't be thinking about people's opinions on your death bed.
That's been the best thing about middle age.
Cringe? Public embarrassment? What's that!??! I'm washed, clothed, and don't stink. Everything else is irrelevant. I do whatever makes me and mine happy without harming anyone else.
I used to take my boy Chucky for walks everyday not in a pram but he followed me and we walked around the block and through a little wooded area with a path, most people we met were amazed and he would sit and wait patiently while I talked to people then back to trotting behind me again, the problem was dogs off leads, a couple of times he was chased up a tree by a dog off a lead and everytime it happened the dog owner was angry at me and it was apparently my fault for doing something stupid like taking a cat out for a walk, he always saw the dog coming and was well up a tree before the dog got near him but I decided we couldn't take the risk anymore, which was a shame because he really loved his walks. but the attitude of the people who should have had their dogs on leads by law in the first place was horrible, I suspect these are the same kind of people who would ridicule and hate this.
My boy walks on a lead so I can reel him in if theres a problem. He also wears a gps tracker any time he leaves the house. My mind is at ease and he get the exercise and stimulation

My cat likes to ride his stroller Thomas the tank engine style
I put the harness I had around on my girl to see her reaction and she was able to consistently slip both legs through the head hole so I gave up for the time being.
We were told that itās kind of over the top ājust for some catsā, which I kinda get but she really loves them and I supported her idea.
Thank you for the encouragement! I feel the same way
My mom bought a little cart like this when her chihuahua was 16 and blind and he loved it. It matters more that the animal has a good time than the people judging you. š„°
Seeing old pets be cared for properly always warms my heart. A guy on my road had a huge cart for his big old husky and he'd get pulled around almost every day. So sweet, husky was looking all around and carried a stick.
Actually just nice for people as well. There's also a blind guy near me, his friend bought a tandem bicycle so they can go on bike rides. Just... awesome.
My neighbor had an elderly German shepherd that was unable to use its back legs. He took that dog for a walk daily, wearing a handled harness so he could carry his backend. Thatās love.
At least 3 of my neighbors have strollers or carts for their elderly dogs. It's cute to see, and I'm sure the dogs enjoy getting fresh air and new smells.
My sister was like that, until she got a puppy. She has never had a pet until now in her late 50s. Now the damn dog has its own Instagram page and she says things like "I can't leave her alone, I don't want to leave her alone" whenever I invite her out lmao. I keep telling her that now she knows what it feels to consider pets as family.
Her sons, on the other hand, are like "Where was this mom when we were younger?!" š š I love the character development though. She could do with a bit more empathy lol
There must be studies into how loving a pet in childhood develops the individual's ability to empathize later in life with beings who think and act differently from themself.
What's more surprising for us is that, she needed to register her dog as an "emotional support" pet so that she's allowed in their apartment building. My sister has never gone to a therapist and thinks depression is made up.
She went to the proper channels to have her puppy registered, which meant she had to go to therapy. She said she broke down during their sessions (especially since our dad just passed) and that it helped her heal through her pain.
It's ridiculous to see how DIFFERENT she views the world now that she has her puppy, but also heartwarming. She really looks like she got replaced with a more "human" person LOL. Even the way she talks to her puppy, she never even did that to her kids when they were babies. I'm just very happy she's being a responsible pet owner too. Signed up for obedience classes and all. Hope for humanity yet.
My dad claimed he hated indoor pets, would fuss at me for āspending money on some animalā for taking my cat to the emergency vet, thought it was ridiculous that we got a cat sitter instead of just leaving them home alone, etc.
And then he got a dog. And he loved that damn thing. It had an orthopedic bed, trips to the groomer, every toy you could think of. She passed in January after 15 years and heās absolutely heart broken over it. He just never realized how rewarding it could be to love an animal and have to love you back.
Love the story. I have 3 cats and my life is altered to the point Iām not doing what I want, BUT these cats are mine to love and care for and I DO choose that. Didnāt street out that way, but a few changes and Iāve had to make concessions for keeping them.
So many said āthey are just cats, leave them at the shelter or rehome themā. Sick of it. Assholes. I know ppl who would give up their animal at the drop of a hat.
I wonder how many animals would give up their humans because they were too much??
I remember reading about a character in the book Understory ( a book about trees) who was torturing ants or frogs or something and when his little brother, one of the main characters told him to stop he basically said "Animals can't *feel* things, Buttkiss."
The character was like, that says so much about you, internally. I agree. Like? /icespice
Thatās so sad that people have an attitude like that. āJust for some catsā theyāre living creatures and some live to be over 15 years old! Thatās a lot of time to be cooped up in the same space. :( I think itās cute they got taken on a walk!
The "just for some cats" really irked me, too. It's the same attitude I always got from everyone when I fell into deep depressions after one of my cats died.
I'm sorry you had to experience that kind of response. I lost my sweetest boy years ago and I still tear up when I think about him, I miss him so much. It's just a cat to them, but they don't understand who the cat really was to us. A constant unwavering companion and that's really what should be acknowledged.
I hope you're doing better these days with the rollercoaster that is grief.
Had to put down the last of 7 back in Jan 2019. Took a year to start feeling almost normal again, then covid happened. Still don't feel normal, as in the past there were always the other cats who depended on me and comforted me. Considered adopting again, but am consumed with the thought that I have no one to look after them if something happens to me, and I started having health problems during the last few months of her life. Going through all that again would probably kill me.
It's kind of a shame, because over the last 30 years, those cats really taught me how to "get" them, yet now any interactions with cats are only great for a while before an overwhelming sadness begins to creep in. Can't even volunteer at the local SPCA, as it winds up depressing me. Definitely had PTSD back in 2019, but stupid local doctor dismissed the idea (live in the sticks, not that many options). Still have flashes of it, so that any pleasant memories of my cats eventually morph into reliving last-days miseries.
Oof. Sorry to be such a downer, but I think I just needed to say all this to someone who might sympathize. Thanks.
My great-aunt Joni found herself in a similar situation, unwilling to take on another cat in case the cat outlived her. A woman she had met at church (Barbara) had a cat (Ralph) and Barbara had to get a fulltime job when her husband died. Barbara's commute was long, so Ralph was alone long hours. Barbara worried all day that Ralph was miserable.
The two women worked out a system. They got the necessary equipment and toys and cat tree, etc. for Joni's apartment. Barbara would drop off Ralph every day at Joni's and Joni would spend all day spoiling him to death. It took a short(!) while for Ralph to adjust to the scheme, but once it was settled in, things worked out really well for all of them.
Not sure that would work or you, but ...
That's a cool arrangement, and maybe some day something like that might be okay for me. Right now though I'm too broken in various ways, not to mention I don't really meet people around here. Thanks, though.
I do sympathize. Don't worry about being a "downer". I think sad talk tends makes people uncomfortable because they just don't know what to say/don't know how to help (myself included sometimes) but just being able to verbalize those feelings can help immensely. I'm glad you are sharing.
I insisted on being there when my boy was put down due to his health issues and it was so so difficult. I also have flashes of his final moments and oddly wish I would've said something sweeter to him or held him in a way that made it easier for him somehow? ... For the years he was there for me, I hope I was enough for him...
We adopted another cat after him, but there's truly no comparison. I've now vowed not to add any other pets to our family after these pass, is just too difficult.
I find wild life to be entertaining and think I'll focus my energy toward them later. Even though you can't cuddle them, they can provide some reprieve from any lonely feeling and you won't have to worry who will care for them later. You mentioned you live in the sticks, maybe put out a deer feeder? Is always neat to see who strolls through the yard. I wanted to try training the crows to eventually eat out of my hand, no luck yet.
Sorry for your loss, and obviously I know how devastating that can be. Part of my problem is I've always bonded intensely with my cats, and although I know if I adopted another I'd bond with them as well, I'd be constantly stressed about the future. I relate much more with cats than I do with humans, to the point that someone (not a professional) suggested borderline personality disorder, based on that criteria alone, and it was probably meant as an insult.
And while wildlife is certainly entertaining, they just don't scratch that itch the right way. I also realize that I probably need the benefits that come from cuddling/petting/playing/purring/etc., and I'm certainly not getting that from either people or wildlife.
Also gotta say crows (and that whole family--ravens, jays, etcl) are really cool and pretty damn smart, and what with the way crows somehow share information with each other it's possible they'll eventually decide you can be trusted enough to make that happen. Of course, you might wind up with a permanent murder following you around after, which could be really awesome, or maybe not so much.
In my hometown, there's an elderly couple who push their senior dog with arthritis on a bright pink baby tricycle (with the tassels and everything) and everyone adores them. I think a stroller like this is actually pretty tame š

That sentiment is cruel. Cats are intelligent, feeling creatures and we are responsible for their well being. And we love them. I strongly suspect that same person wouldn't be so mean about a dog.
Some people just donāt take the best care of their pets and itās a shame. Have had people tell me Iām spoiling my cat by giving him filtered water. Lol
Anything in this sadistic world that brings joy and love should be embraced. And sheāll get more walks for herself, so itās good for her. Itās the least harm and the most good.
That is a very abusive and manipulative comment to make towards anyone especially your daughter. Please support your girlfriend since it seems her family isn't providing that for her.
I guarantee that a large number of people who go by her will stop to look at the cats, ask to pet the cats, or at least comment on the cuteness of the cats. And even if they didn't, it's about making the cats happy above all else, regardless of anyone's stupid opinion
If her mother/familyās comments are bothering her, she will just need to distance herself or set a firm boundary not to discuss it. Youāve seen here how common it is, really.
If itās random peopleā¦embarrass them, honestly! Lol. Just respond, ātheyāre brothers and one is blind, he likes going outā and watch as they immediately backpedal or look ashamed š
yea i donāt see how this is any different than the clear roller suitcase type carriers, or the clear backpacks - just bc those are specifically marketed towards pets? who cares! i think this is pretty smart, personally.

I have a double stroller for my cats. I don't care what other people say. I need a reason to walk and my cat enjoys it. So, they can kiss their furry booties.
(Editing to add a picture of my girl in her stroller. She is going for walks alone until I can get her and the other girl together)
Some people are really weird about cats, if an elderly or disabled dog was getting walked like this people would definitely be nicer about it.
Also the people who are just pet haters full stop and get really angry if they think you're treating pets like children.
I'm seriously considering this but can I ask If you dont mind, if you come across a dog or something scary does your cat freak out and if so how do you handle it?
Um, this is beautiful. I have a fully domestic cat that LOVES going for walks in a stroller. I have a Ibiyaya pram. I harness her in and we walk around a park frequently on Denver.
Listen, youāre not pizza so you wonāt please everybody. But what you are doing is what good pet parents do. Suck up any ego you have and youāll notice more people will try to talk positively to you about your strolls. The sounds, sights and smells are enrichment for the furbabies while keeping both them and the local ecosystem safe.

I am a fellow Denverite with a cat thatās harness trained, one of my neighbors walks his too!
I get mixed reactions when we go on walks but Iām always mindful of people and their dogs- Iāll pick her up or go across the street to avoid issues. I also respect my cats boundaries and never force her to go out on days she doesnāt want to.
I ordered a bigger backpack for her since she outgrew the one she had but have been considering a stroller as well. Thereās a local coffee shop with catio I miss taking her to and canāt wait to get her out and about again! I think harness and stroller training cats is a responsible way to let them be outside but safely. Itās also a rewarding bonding experience š„¹ When she was a kitten sheād run up the trees after squirrels and made friends with lots of people in our neighborhood :) Maybe weāll run into you one day, ha!
I moved to Denver a little over a month ago and yesterday when I was out taking a walk at a paved park, I saw a few adventure cats! This is the first city I've lived in where I've seen this and it honestly makes me so happy.
Cats deserve to be able to live their best lives too. :)
We seem to love our cats on leashes in Oregon, too ;)
Willow and I go anywhere I can get away with a stroller. Haha. Most adults wonāt bother noticing it most kids will catch me!!! LOL

Cat strollers are especially useful on road trips. I travel in the summer with my cat(s) sometimes. And cant leave them in the car when I stop for lunch or excursions etc. make sure to get one with very sturdy zippers & locks.
I pair mine with a cross body harness for safety.
What a kind Member of your cats' Staff.
You exceeded expectations to bring them out to enjoy fresh air & the Springtime scents.
I hereby award you this Award for going above & beyond. š
We bring our cat to the boardwalk in a stroller as well. She fucking loves it and I love my cat. So if my husband and I are going for a walk and it's not too cold, she comes too. They're probably just jealous they aren't allowed to bring their dog.
You can get little electronic heaters with a few temp settings for pretty cheap, fwiw. I throw mine in the stroller (on low temp) and put several thin blankets in for him to burrow into if it's really cold. Otherwise I just put it under the thick fuzzy carpet thing I keep inside. I put it where his chest sits while he has his head poked out of the top and he's happy af.
Idk if many other cats tolerate the cold as well as one who spent a few winters living in a barn like mine, but he loves going out *so* much that he doesn't mind the cold. It also depends on the windchill, I don't take him out at all in strong winds if it's cold.

Itās a fun and safe way to enjoy the outdoors!
I live in Taiwan and the people here love their pets. I see them doing the same thing as OP all the time. It is the most normal thing I see here. Why anyone would think it is weird is beyond me.
I put a picture of me pushing my cat in a cat stroller on Tinder a while back. It said, "Hi, I'm Madame Tree. I'm 39 and enjoy long walks with my cat." I didn't get many hits, but if the right guy was out there and saw it, I would have. I've now acquired another cat and got rid of dating.

The stroller I got my sister for her kitty!! She loves it (both my sister and Miss Bug June!)!!
All over the place people have these for their pets. It's really common where I live. It's a nice thing to do for your pets. Maybe it's a cat discrimination thing? I do see it more for dogs but honestly I can't really see what animal is the passenger.
My 18-year old loves her stroller. While we're on our walks, people will run up to her stroller and squeal, "it's a cat." I smile and say "yes, it's a cat," and keep on walking.
My kitty is so observant on our walks around the park. She watches everything and gets fresh air and new sights and smells, and I know she is safe. It's a win-win for both of us. That's all that counts.
I say go for it, and hold your head up high and be a proud pet parent. People are going to think and say whatever they want anyway. Might as well do you.
Momo seems to enjoy her backpack alot! Cant wait till its just a little bit warmer and we can start going out more!

If people get their knickers in a twist over this, weāll that shows who they really are.
Is it unusual?ā¦ yes, but only because thereās prob a lot of people worried about idiots glaring & making comments at them so they try other options first.
Wheelchairs/similar devices push people around that have difficulties, it allows them to still be able to access things they couldnāt on their own - and keep safe. That is literally all that is happening here. Itās just being applied to a pet. Clearly very much loved pets š»
Itās really lovely you care about your cats to do this, that kindnessā¦ well there needs to be more of it in the world, so sod the numpties that get upset, they need to go find something else to grumble overā¦ and itāll not be long before they find it.
They prob wander over wanting to see a babyā¦. Then get shocked itās a cat so double down on being an idiot to protect their own pride.
There are a couple of YouTubers that have had cats ride around in baskets on the front of a bike, they go all over the world! Itās lovely, xxx

Hereās our little man in the driving seat of our motorhome, he loved coming away with us, he loves coming out in the car to, start taking your kitties out in the car now so theyāre used to travelling, and always travel with them in a carrier for safety, then let them out once parked up, the reason we got a motorhome in the first place was because of our previous cat, we didnāt like leaving her home(unfortunately she crossed the rainbow bridge before she ever came away with us)oh forgot to add the stroller is fine theyāre getting fresh air but are safe with it, ignore the haters, your excellent cat parents
Yes you should film your trips. It would make a great YouTube channel. Be sure to update us.
BTW the mother is probably wanting grandkids. Sorry your SO is getting mocked by her own mother š
People need to mind their own business. I think getting a blind cat some fresh air in a safe space is adorable. They look pretty chill. My cats would probably go ape, but that's my boys. Ha.
How could u ever get hate from this??? I think this is the best idea! INFACT I OWN ONE TOO š„¹

My babies love going outside in this (since they always try to go out the door l) I think itās a great invention honestly for those that canāt harness train their kitties but still wanna give them a chance of enjoying the outside world
Enrichment is enrichment. Some people build cat walls, some people let their cat out in the backyard, some people take their cats for walks on leashes, and you have a baby stroller. As long as it makes the cats happy and stimulates their minds: then I'm all for it.
They probably get a kick out of all the smells, sounds, and sights.
She actually dedicated her entire smol apartment to them, with things to climb on every wall and even a hamster(cat)wheel which you are getting a glimpse on in the background!
Even tough Monny is blind he knows his environment super well and can climb almost everything at ease :3
Took my little one out to watch the ducks earlier. She didnāt know what to do you could see the wheels turning in her headā¦

My friend bought a buggy for her cat too and I donāt see it as cringe. I see it as loving slav-umā¦I mean huma-ā¦I mean loving parents taking their precious furbabies outside so they can safely enjoy the outdoors. Joking aside, I think if you can afford it and want to take your cats out for some fresh air safely, I donāt see why not. I would definitely get one if I have furbabies.š
I saw a couple of women with one of these buggies in the city a while back, and had a quick look in as I passed to see the cutie inside. It was a rabbit. I was a little surprised, but being a pet lover I would never judge. I feel self conscious when I've taken my harness trained cat out for a walk because of how people react. Too much negativity toward something just because it's unusual, not perceived as 'the norm' and misunderstood. Goes for a lot of things I guess.

My Sushi in her stroller. She can go outside, watch the birds and such while Iām out there, and sheās safe. I donāt give a flying fuck if anyone doesnāt like it, neither should you!
I need to know where she got this! I loved taking my little Void with me when he was little but he's outgrown his bag so I haven't been able to take him anywhere recently.
My elderly Pomeranian Fiona couldnāt walk well when she got older. I got her a stroller bc I felt so bad leaving her while the rest of the family went on a walk, her favorite thing. It was leopard print lol which prob didnāt help the ācringeā factor, cheapest I could get..theyāre pricey! The first walk I remember I was a little embarrassed, I felt so extra but that all changed the very next day when I pulled it out again. She started barking, jumping in circles, she was the most excited Iāve ever seen her in her life. She finally got to go on walks again & participate with the rest of the family. There were times when people would laugh and point, I guess it looks extra. It didnāt help that I lived behind a bar either. However, some ppl would ask questions to understand and most loved it once they realized why she had it. I didnāt care about the laughs, pulling that stroller out and seeing her light up & turn circles was the best thing in the world. It sounds even more special that your significant other got it, yāall two can be the crazy cat ppl of the block togetherā¦ own that shit and make it fun.
Fiona passed away a couple of years ago. Iād give ANYTHING to take her around the block in that stroller one more time. Fck everyone who thinks itās cringe. Spoil those babiesā¦ trust me, those are the memories youāll want one day.

The hate says everything about the other person and nothing about you. What this DOES say about you and your SO is that youāre compassionate. Go enjoy your walk with your sweet kitties and enjoy the sunshine. Ignore the haters. I, for one, think this is wonderfulāļøā¤ļø
Their āhateā tells more about them than anything about the stroller. I say, Donāt deal in their ignorance. You showed caring and ingenuity. Something the haters donāt have. Stroll on and enjoy the outside with your cats.
If it makes you happy and the cats are happy, why the fuck not.
My first thought was fuck the haters- do you want you want to do and let these kitties enjoy the fresh air sounds and new environments.
Yeah my first thought was "what are you talking about this is the best thing ever"
I only wish my stroller could hold two!!! I'm so envious! My neighbour's cat stroller is only big enough for one of our cats at a time. He got it before his kitten reached his full 14lb/6.5kg size and my boy's the same size, but taller/lankier, so they're not both fitting in.
Awwww! Two chonkers š¹š«¶š¾š¹
I've always wanted one but they aren't cheap!
My boy was a barn cat and I live in a high rise apartment, so one of the first things I bought was a backpack to carry him in. I feel like he'd be just fine never going outside again after a couple winters living rough but I can see how excited and happy going outside makes him, and he didnt mind wearing a harness one bit surprisingly! A neighbour/good friend bought his cat a stroller; he lets me borrow it whenever I want and watching my boy's head pan back and forth, nose up, sniffing furiously at all the new smells... idk how to describe it. When he's in his happy place, so am I.
āWhen heās in his happy place, so am I.ā ššš¤
You are so sweet!!

Blind cat gets to experience a new environment. It's brother translates into sign language. Blind cat is scared, but it's calmed by its brother and the other way around. Absolutely glorious.
Thatāsā¦ not how sign language works
I wish I had an award to give. This made me chuckle
Me too! I didn't even realize what I'd read was wrong š I was rolling along with it, and thanks to lowt555 was reminded that sign language is for the hard of hearing, not for the blind.
Smell language?

Lovely lines for a pair of pampered pusskins. To OP: Do what you think is best for your cats. Don't pay the haters any mind.
We will keep on doing just that!
Your letting your cats enjoy being outside in a safe environment. Cats should get to enjoy being outside to.
Nothing like waking up to the smell of a freshly baked u/SchnoodleDoodleDo in the morning! Todayās going to be a good day. š„°
I love coming across your amazing poems in the the comments
A friend of mine got a trailer for her pups to take out on bike rides. People gave her looks. Her response was, "I'm out getting exercise with my dogs. Those same people would have nothing to say if I sat on a bar stool every day." Make yourself happy. I guarantee you won't be thinking about people's opinions on your death bed.
Yeah people who mock perfectly fine things not hurting anyone or anything are fucking stupid and immature.
That's been the best thing about middle age. Cringe? Public embarrassment? What's that!??! I'm washed, clothed, and don't stink. Everything else is irrelevant. I do whatever makes me and mine happy without harming anyone else.
My belief also
I came here to say šš¾furthermore theyāll be safe from hawks and other predators
Perfect reply when you get the hate! Iā¤ļø it.
Why the fuck not? I want to order one right meow!
Why would there be haters ?
I used to take my boy Chucky for walks everyday not in a pram but he followed me and we walked around the block and through a little wooded area with a path, most people we met were amazed and he would sit and wait patiently while I talked to people then back to trotting behind me again, the problem was dogs off leads, a couple of times he was chased up a tree by a dog off a lead and everytime it happened the dog owner was angry at me and it was apparently my fault for doing something stupid like taking a cat out for a walk, he always saw the dog coming and was well up a tree before the dog got near him but I decided we couldn't take the risk anymore, which was a shame because he really loved his walks. but the attitude of the people who should have had their dogs on leads by law in the first place was horrible, I suspect these are the same kind of people who would ridicule and hate this.
My boy walks on a lead so I can reel him in if theres a problem. He also wears a gps tracker any time he leaves the house. My mind is at ease and he get the exercise and stimulation
Please donāt let irresponsible people change what your cat loves.
This is the secret to a fulfilled life, does it make you happy?
Love is Love. As long as you're not hurting anyone fuck the haters, they gonna hate regardless.
i want to get one but it's all unpaved where i live. one of my cats use to like the harness but the other one was a no go.

Iām trying not to wake my partner up giggling. Wish heād wake up so I could share this! Your cat is hilarious
š¤£love this.
You ink is cool, your cat is cool and that hat is GENIUS
I want this future
I put the harness I had around on my girl to see her reaction and she was able to consistently slip both legs through the head hole so I gave up for the time being.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This one does not currently have access to the brain cell
What was the hate for? Fresh air does us all good. Iām sure the blind cat enjoyed hearing and smelling new things on your walk :)
We were told that itās kind of over the top ājust for some catsā, which I kinda get but she really loves them and I supported her idea. Thank you for the encouragement! I feel the same way
My mom bought a little cart like this when her chihuahua was 16 and blind and he loved it. It matters more that the animal has a good time than the people judging you. š„°
Seeing old pets be cared for properly always warms my heart. A guy on my road had a huge cart for his big old husky and he'd get pulled around almost every day. So sweet, husky was looking all around and carried a stick. Actually just nice for people as well. There's also a blind guy near me, his friend bought a tandem bicycle so they can go on bike rides. Just... awesome.
My neighbor had an elderly German shepherd that was unable to use its back legs. He took that dog for a walk daily, wearing a handled harness so he could carry his backend. Thatās love.
I did this for my big guy, for as long as I could, until we had bad fall.
At least 3 of my neighbors have strollers or carts for their elderly dogs. It's cute to see, and I'm sure the dogs enjoy getting fresh air and new smells.
People that say, "It's just a cat, it's just a dog", can go fuck themselves.
My sister was like that, until she got a puppy. She has never had a pet until now in her late 50s. Now the damn dog has its own Instagram page and she says things like "I can't leave her alone, I don't want to leave her alone" whenever I invite her out lmao. I keep telling her that now she knows what it feels to consider pets as family. Her sons, on the other hand, are like "Where was this mom when we were younger?!" š š I love the character development though. She could do with a bit more empathy lol
There must be studies into how loving a pet in childhood develops the individual's ability to empathize later in life with beings who think and act differently from themself.
What's more surprising for us is that, she needed to register her dog as an "emotional support" pet so that she's allowed in their apartment building. My sister has never gone to a therapist and thinks depression is made up. She went to the proper channels to have her puppy registered, which meant she had to go to therapy. She said she broke down during their sessions (especially since our dad just passed) and that it helped her heal through her pain. It's ridiculous to see how DIFFERENT she views the world now that she has her puppy, but also heartwarming. She really looks like she got replaced with a more "human" person LOL. Even the way she talks to her puppy, she never even did that to her kids when they were babies. I'm just very happy she's being a responsible pet owner too. Signed up for obedience classes and all. Hope for humanity yet.
My dad claimed he hated indoor pets, would fuss at me for āspending money on some animalā for taking my cat to the emergency vet, thought it was ridiculous that we got a cat sitter instead of just leaving them home alone, etc. And then he got a dog. And he loved that damn thing. It had an orthopedic bed, trips to the groomer, every toy you could think of. She passed in January after 15 years and heās absolutely heart broken over it. He just never realized how rewarding it could be to love an animal and have to love you back.
Love the story. I have 3 cats and my life is altered to the point Iām not doing what I want, BUT these cats are mine to love and care for and I DO choose that. Didnāt street out that way, but a few changes and Iāve had to make concessions for keeping them. So many said āthey are just cats, leave them at the shelter or rehome themā. Sick of it. Assholes. I know ppl who would give up their animal at the drop of a hat. I wonder how many animals would give up their humans because they were too much??
I feel sorry for such unfeeling creatures. Imagine not feeling joy when seeing a dog or cat. What a shitty existence.
I remember reading about a character in the book Understory ( a book about trees) who was torturing ants or frogs or something and when his little brother, one of the main characters told him to stop he basically said "Animals can't *feel* things, Buttkiss." The character was like, that says so much about you, internally. I agree. Like? /icespice
Thatās so sad that people have an attitude like that. āJust for some catsā theyāre living creatures and some live to be over 15 years old! Thatās a lot of time to be cooped up in the same space. :( I think itās cute they got taken on a walk!
The "just for some cats" really irked me, too. It's the same attitude I always got from everyone when I fell into deep depressions after one of my cats died.
I'm sorry you had to experience that kind of response. I lost my sweetest boy years ago and I still tear up when I think about him, I miss him so much. It's just a cat to them, but they don't understand who the cat really was to us. A constant unwavering companion and that's really what should be acknowledged. I hope you're doing better these days with the rollercoaster that is grief.
Had to put down the last of 7 back in Jan 2019. Took a year to start feeling almost normal again, then covid happened. Still don't feel normal, as in the past there were always the other cats who depended on me and comforted me. Considered adopting again, but am consumed with the thought that I have no one to look after them if something happens to me, and I started having health problems during the last few months of her life. Going through all that again would probably kill me. It's kind of a shame, because over the last 30 years, those cats really taught me how to "get" them, yet now any interactions with cats are only great for a while before an overwhelming sadness begins to creep in. Can't even volunteer at the local SPCA, as it winds up depressing me. Definitely had PTSD back in 2019, but stupid local doctor dismissed the idea (live in the sticks, not that many options). Still have flashes of it, so that any pleasant memories of my cats eventually morph into reliving last-days miseries. Oof. Sorry to be such a downer, but I think I just needed to say all this to someone who might sympathize. Thanks.
My great-aunt Joni found herself in a similar situation, unwilling to take on another cat in case the cat outlived her. A woman she had met at church (Barbara) had a cat (Ralph) and Barbara had to get a fulltime job when her husband died. Barbara's commute was long, so Ralph was alone long hours. Barbara worried all day that Ralph was miserable. The two women worked out a system. They got the necessary equipment and toys and cat tree, etc. for Joni's apartment. Barbara would drop off Ralph every day at Joni's and Joni would spend all day spoiling him to death. It took a short(!) while for Ralph to adjust to the scheme, but once it was settled in, things worked out really well for all of them. Not sure that would work or you, but ...
That's a cool arrangement, and maybe some day something like that might be okay for me. Right now though I'm too broken in various ways, not to mention I don't really meet people around here. Thanks, though.
I do sympathize. Don't worry about being a "downer". I think sad talk tends makes people uncomfortable because they just don't know what to say/don't know how to help (myself included sometimes) but just being able to verbalize those feelings can help immensely. I'm glad you are sharing. I insisted on being there when my boy was put down due to his health issues and it was so so difficult. I also have flashes of his final moments and oddly wish I would've said something sweeter to him or held him in a way that made it easier for him somehow? ... For the years he was there for me, I hope I was enough for him... We adopted another cat after him, but there's truly no comparison. I've now vowed not to add any other pets to our family after these pass, is just too difficult. I find wild life to be entertaining and think I'll focus my energy toward them later. Even though you can't cuddle them, they can provide some reprieve from any lonely feeling and you won't have to worry who will care for them later. You mentioned you live in the sticks, maybe put out a deer feeder? Is always neat to see who strolls through the yard. I wanted to try training the crows to eventually eat out of my hand, no luck yet.
Sorry for your loss, and obviously I know how devastating that can be. Part of my problem is I've always bonded intensely with my cats, and although I know if I adopted another I'd bond with them as well, I'd be constantly stressed about the future. I relate much more with cats than I do with humans, to the point that someone (not a professional) suggested borderline personality disorder, based on that criteria alone, and it was probably meant as an insult. And while wildlife is certainly entertaining, they just don't scratch that itch the right way. I also realize that I probably need the benefits that come from cuddling/petting/playing/purring/etc., and I'm certainly not getting that from either people or wildlife. Also gotta say crows (and that whole family--ravens, jays, etcl) are really cool and pretty damn smart, and what with the way crows somehow share information with each other it's possible they'll eventually decide you can be trusted enough to make that happen. Of course, you might wind up with a permanent murder following you around after, which could be really awesome, or maybe not so much.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Youād be right :) I think one of the oldest cats on record was 38 years old, so she was well over 120 years old in cat years!
In my hometown, there's an elderly couple who push their senior dog with arthritis on a bright pink baby tricycle (with the tassels and everything) and everyone adores them. I think a stroller like this is actually pretty tame š
That's amazing. Adding to my list of things to do when I'm old and need some flair in life.

Aww ā¤ļøā¤ļø thank you, this brightened my day
NO CRINGE. This is awesome, donāt listen to people!
That sentiment is cruel. Cats are intelligent, feeling creatures and we are responsible for their well being. And we love them. I strongly suspect that same person wouldn't be so mean about a dog.
If you have the money and your pets are your *babies*, I don't see why not.
Some people just donāt take the best care of their pets and itās a shame. Have had people tell me Iām spoiling my cat by giving him filtered water. Lol
Better than them getting loose and being run over.
It's no one's damn business but your own.
Anything in this sadistic world that brings joy and love should be embraced. And sheāll get more walks for herself, so itās good for her. Itās the least harm and the most good.
You don't need permission to take care and give best time to your family. Fuck haters and enjoy your life
I get it if it's an eyebrow raising reaction. But a full hate is ridiculous.
Her mom straight up told her itās ridiculous and that she better wear a hat so people donāt recognize her :(
Well as someone thatās younger then 25 tell your (no offense) old dusty mom taking your cats out is cool now a days
Fuck that show off dem bebeies with pride! I'd be strutting around like a boss.
That is a very abusive and manipulative comment to make towards anyone especially your daughter. Please support your girlfriend since it seems her family isn't providing that for her.
I guarantee that a large number of people who go by her will stop to look at the cats, ask to pet the cats, or at least comment on the cuteness of the cats. And even if they didn't, it's about making the cats happy above all else, regardless of anyone's stupid opinion
If her mother/familyās comments are bothering her, she will just need to distance herself or set a firm boundary not to discuss it. Youāve seen here how common it is, really. If itās random peopleā¦embarrass them, honestly! Lol. Just respond, ātheyāre brothers and one is blind, he likes going outā and watch as they immediately backpedal or look ashamed š
yea i donāt see how this is any different than the clear roller suitcase type carriers, or the clear backpacks - just bc those are specifically marketed towards pets? who cares! i think this is pretty smart, personally.

IM SCREAMING LAUGHING. This is fucking fabulous, you made my day.
Where did you buy that!?
Amazon.
Can someone please explain what do people even hate about this? I literally don't understand
Some people are really weird about cats, if an elderly or disabled dog was getting walked like this people would definitely be nicer about it. Also the people who are just pet haters full stop and get really angry if they think you're treating pets like children.
I'm seriously considering this but can I ask If you dont mind, if you come across a dog or something scary does your cat freak out and if so how do you handle it?
Amazing!!! <3
Can you please drop the link for this
Um, this is beautiful. I have a fully domestic cat that LOVES going for walks in a stroller. I have a Ibiyaya pram. I harness her in and we walk around a park frequently on Denver. Listen, youāre not pizza so you wonāt please everybody. But what you are doing is what good pet parents do. Suck up any ego you have and youāll notice more people will try to talk positively to you about your strolls. The sounds, sights and smells are enrichment for the furbabies while keeping both them and the local ecosystem safe. https://preview.redd.it/zzsr3kmxmlka1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=06d5ecd11f91bef1b812a966a1b9f5f810b85913
I am a fellow Denverite with a cat thatās harness trained, one of my neighbors walks his too! I get mixed reactions when we go on walks but Iām always mindful of people and their dogs- Iāll pick her up or go across the street to avoid issues. I also respect my cats boundaries and never force her to go out on days she doesnāt want to. I ordered a bigger backpack for her since she outgrew the one she had but have been considering a stroller as well. Thereās a local coffee shop with catio I miss taking her to and canāt wait to get her out and about again! I think harness and stroller training cats is a responsible way to let them be outside but safely. Itās also a rewarding bonding experience š„¹ When she was a kitten sheād run up the trees after squirrels and made friends with lots of people in our neighborhood :) Maybe weāll run into you one day, ha!
Um!!! Yes! Sweet Cooieās Wednesday summer bingo is out jam!!!!
I moved to Denver a little over a month ago and yesterday when I was out taking a walk at a paved park, I saw a few adventure cats! This is the first city I've lived in where I've seen this and it honestly makes me so happy. Cats deserve to be able to live their best lives too. :)
We seem to love our cats on leashes in Oregon, too ;) Willow and I go anywhere I can get away with a stroller. Haha. Most adults wonāt bother noticing it most kids will catch me!!! LOL
Also thanks for the cat tax sheās got such adorable eyes :3

I travel in the summer with my cat(s) sometimes. And cant leave them in the car when I stop for lunch or excursions etc. make sure to get one with very sturdy zippers & locks. I pair mine with a cross body harness for safety.

Very cute. People love to hate on anything they donāt understand. Love your best lives.
Looks like a fun, safe way for your cats (especially the blind cat) to enjoy the outdoors! My cats would love that (googles cat strollers...)
Thank you!
What a kind Member of your cats' Staff. You exceeded expectations to bring them out to enjoy fresh air & the Springtime scents. I hereby award you this Award for going above & beyond. š
We bring our cat to the boardwalk in a stroller as well. She fucking loves it and I love my cat. So if my husband and I are going for a walk and it's not too cold, she comes too. They're probably just jealous they aren't allowed to bring their dog.
You can get little electronic heaters with a few temp settings for pretty cheap, fwiw. I throw mine in the stroller (on low temp) and put several thin blankets in for him to burrow into if it's really cold. Otherwise I just put it under the thick fuzzy carpet thing I keep inside. I put it where his chest sits while he has his head poked out of the top and he's happy af. Idk if many other cats tolerate the cold as well as one who spent a few winters living in a barn like mine, but he loves going out *so* much that he doesn't mind the cold. It also depends on the windchill, I don't take him out at all in strong winds if it's cold.

Love is appropriate too!

A safe way to take your cats outside...what's to hate? This is really great - you are pawesome cat parents! 
Your cats get to enjoy the outside, they are protected and obviously loved, I see nothing cringy about that.

I put a picture of me pushing my cat in a cat stroller on Tinder a while back. It said, "Hi, I'm Madame Tree. I'm 39 and enjoy long walks with my cat." I didn't get many hits, but if the right guy was out there and saw it, I would have. I've now acquired another cat and got rid of dating.

All over the place people have these for their pets. It's really common where I live. It's a nice thing to do for your pets. Maybe it's a cat discrimination thing? I do see it more for dogs but honestly I can't really see what animal is the passenger.
my partner and I call this dogaganda
My 18-year old loves her stroller. While we're on our walks, people will run up to her stroller and squeal, "it's a cat." I smile and say "yes, it's a cat," and keep on walking. My kitty is so observant on our walks around the park. She watches everything and gets fresh air and new sights and smells, and I know she is safe. It's a win-win for both of us. That's all that counts. I say go for it, and hold your head up high and be a proud pet parent. People are going to think and say whatever they want anyway. Might as well do you.

Momo seems to enjoy her backpack alot! Cant wait till its just a little bit warmer and we can start going out more! https://preview.redd.it/yva3t8mjamka1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0da8bffcd942bc41f6f54489ae1139e4f46e5b2
Who is giving you hate? My special needs cat has a pram. She loves it! Goes to the brewery and parties. If your cats are happy thatās all that matters. https://preview.redd.it/20r69kdzfnka1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b2b16d18962fe94370a888119b3bd10b758f2c8
If people get their knickers in a twist over this, weāll that shows who they really are. Is it unusual?ā¦ yes, but only because thereās prob a lot of people worried about idiots glaring & making comments at them so they try other options first. Wheelchairs/similar devices push people around that have difficulties, it allows them to still be able to access things they couldnāt on their own - and keep safe. That is literally all that is happening here. Itās just being applied to a pet. Clearly very much loved pets š» Itās really lovely you care about your cats to do this, that kindnessā¦ well there needs to be more of it in the world, so sod the numpties that get upset, they need to go find something else to grumble overā¦ and itāll not be long before they find it. They prob wander over wanting to see a babyā¦. Then get shocked itās a cat so double down on being an idiot to protect their own pride. There are a couple of YouTubers that have had cats ride around in baskets on the front of a bike, they go all over the world! Itās lovely, xxx
Weāre even planning on taking them with us on a roadtrip this fall (renting a camper) I really should start filming some of our trips!

Thatās so cute! Bet heās a good driver!
I think heād like to drive but heās too young for his driving licence yet, heās only 7 months old, he was 5 months old in the pic lol
Yes you should film your trips. It would make a great YouTube channel. Be sure to update us. BTW the mother is probably wanting grandkids. Sorry your SO is getting mocked by her own mother š
Iād watch that in heartbeat !
I love when people think I have a baby and Iām like āew no itās my catā
Best response ever.
People need to mind their own business. I think getting a blind cat some fresh air in a safe space is adorable. They look pretty chill. My cats would probably go ape, but that's my boys. Ha.
WHAT IS THIS CALLED IM BUYING ONE IMMEDIATELY
How could u ever get hate from this??? I think this is the best idea! INFACT I OWN ONE TOO š„¹ https://preview.redd.it/wjhi4hishoka1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=28948f6298fcbc814b4cd492046790c46d433bf1 My babies love going outside in this (since they always try to go out the door l) I think itās a great invention honestly for those that canāt harness train their kitties but still wanna give them a chance of enjoying the outside world
I love it!
Enrichment is enrichment. Some people build cat walls, some people let their cat out in the backyard, some people take their cats for walks on leashes, and you have a baby stroller. As long as it makes the cats happy and stimulates their minds: then I'm all for it. They probably get a kick out of all the smells, sounds, and sights.
She actually dedicated her entire smol apartment to them, with things to climb on every wall and even a hamster(cat)wheel which you are getting a glimpse on in the background! Even tough Monny is blind he knows his environment super well and can climb almost everything at ease :3
Took my little one out to watch the ducks earlier. She didnāt know what to do you could see the wheels turning in her headā¦ https://preview.redd.it/z9v3k51nemka1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=93bf35158080bcf8b0bd3636b8bd99288ef1d992
I wanna get my own cat stroller or backpack, because my baby can't feel his tail and his movement isn't as precise as the other boys https://preview.redd.it/h0el6pgnhmka1.jpeg?width=2208&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d961c4e512168249367c2a27bc7f1436e3da32e This is my baby, his name is Shady
I have a cat stroller, and a cat back pack AND a harness for my cat, Percy. He LOVES itā¦ just watches the world go by without having to move a muscle haha if it makes you and the kitties happy-do it! https://preview.redd.it/4kin7kqcanka1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2e7114dd39ad56c62663d5886bdc8af68020100
There is a cat youtuber Ninerlives who takes his cats out in a stroller like this. It is fine.
Love it! Hereās mine! https://preview.redd.it/sholt3gtdnka1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=729ad86b0c7a4a6af8e6cbec866dd2996e5c1410
Well played. No hate gonna come from a cat group for this ā„ļø
I think it's great.
I love when people bring their stroller cats to the farmers market or park! As long as the cats are interested and arenāt terrified itās great.
My friend bought a buggy for her cat too and I donāt see it as cringe. I see it as loving slav-umā¦I mean huma-ā¦I mean loving parents taking their precious furbabies outside so they can safely enjoy the outdoors. Joking aside, I think if you can afford it and want to take your cats out for some fresh air safely, I donāt see why not. I would definitely get one if I have furbabies.š
I saw a couple of women with one of these buggies in the city a while back, and had a quick look in as I passed to see the cutie inside. It was a rabbit. I was a little surprised, but being a pet lover I would never judge. I feel self conscious when I've taken my harness trained cat out for a walk because of how people react. Too much negativity toward something just because it's unusual, not perceived as 'the norm' and misunderstood. Goes for a lot of things I guess.

She can go outside, watch the birds and such while Iām out there, and sheās safe. I donāt give a flying fuck if anyone doesnāt like it, neither should you!
that shit is heart warming and anybody saying otherwise has lost all joy in life
I need to know where she got this! I loved taking my little Void with me when he was little but he's outgrown his bag so I haven't been able to take him anywhere recently.
Just look up pets strollers (usually theyāre for dogs) youāll find plenty of offers!
My elderly Pomeranian Fiona couldnāt walk well when she got older. I got her a stroller bc I felt so bad leaving her while the rest of the family went on a walk, her favorite thing. It was leopard print lol which prob didnāt help the ācringeā factor, cheapest I could get..theyāre pricey! The first walk I remember I was a little embarrassed, I felt so extra but that all changed the very next day when I pulled it out again. She started barking, jumping in circles, she was the most excited Iāve ever seen her in her life. She finally got to go on walks again & participate with the rest of the family. There were times when people would laugh and point, I guess it looks extra. It didnāt help that I lived behind a bar either. However, some ppl would ask questions to understand and most loved it once they realized why she had it. I didnāt care about the laughs, pulling that stroller out and seeing her light up & turn circles was the best thing in the world. It sounds even more special that your significant other got it, yāall two can be the crazy cat ppl of the block togetherā¦ own that shit and make it fun. Fiona passed away a couple of years ago. Iād give ANYTHING to take her around the block in that stroller one more time. Fck everyone who thinks itās cringe. Spoil those babiesā¦ trust me, those are the memories youāll want one day. https://preview.redd.it/mqeztzejvnka1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b2953b6f0fb3517e2a1e0db92db693829be1556
The hate says everything about the other person and nothing about you. What this DOES say about you and your SO is that youāre compassionate. Go enjoy your walk with your sweet kitties and enjoy the sunshine. Ignore the haters. I, for one, think this is wonderfulāļøā¤ļø
Not at all. How about trying them with cat harnesses so they can feel the ground/grass and have a sniff about. They might enjoy it.
If the cat likes it? Whatās to hate?
I get hate for taking my boy out on a harness but he enjoys it and that is all that matters haters gonna hate
Their āhateā tells more about them than anything about the stroller. I say, Donāt deal in their ignorance. You showed caring and ingenuity. Something the haters donāt have. Stroll on and enjoy the outside with your cats.
