I had one for Squeakers, a cute, pink Kittywalk stroller. She seemed to love being out in it, but one day I used it as a carrier (it's a stroller that doubles as a carrier) and she busted out if it (while still at home, PHEW!) So I gave up getting it fixed and when she got sick she didn't care to go anywhere.
As for Sandy, she doesn't even like going out on the patio, much less strolling! I really enjoyed strolling with Squeaks though, and having the neighbor kids pet her and the little old ladies admire her!

I might not mind a stroller but I go out on my harness & leash so prefer that to a stroller. I love going for walks with my mom so really don't need a stroller.

Gibbs and Cash have Angel Buddie and McKenna's Red Stroller...we are planning on taking them out just as soon as our weather gets better...I think they will love it because they sleep in it sometimes! I will take pictures.....

Not sure I'd trust one. I 've had problems walking my dog and being bothered by unleashed dogs, so I think it might not be the best thing. We built an out door cat area, where they cannot leave the yard, I would recommend one to anyone that has cats. That way the cats enjoy the outdoors but stay in their own area.

We live in Hawaii on a one lane country road, two miles from the highway, so there is no traffic at my house. If a car comes to my house they are lost!

We love our stroller! We like to go out and walk with Mom. We talk to the birdies and squirrels along the way.

I have one and have used it several times. The cats aren't quite sure if they like it or not.

We have one but we have never used it. We are not curious about the outside and do not want to go for walks. Mom got it "just in case" and she uses the soft side carrier that we are supposed to ride in just to put us in when we take trips to the v_t! We can not use the hard carriers cuz we can bust out really easy. We are smart and mom hopes we don't learn to unzip the zippers on the carriers or she will be in trouble MOL

Wendy just loves it! She would go everyday. She sits up and looks around and sniffs the air. Sometimes she meows quietly - I guess she's telling me what she sees. And the best part is meeting new people. She was a show cat so she's used to strangers. I just read Buddie's note. She will sleep in it, too, especially over the winter when she can't go out.

I love my stroller, "Big Pink." I sit up like a gentleman and watch the world go by. Ryan likes to stroll, too. Cammi will go sometimes but she talks a lot.

Matt cries and pees so Matt doesn't get to stroll, oh well his loss!!

Do you seriously think I would stay in a stroller when there are so many things to be CHASED?

We jsut got home from the doctors and he said we need to walk some. We just ordered a nice stroller so the big boy can ride along during our walks. What a wonderful idea!

We have a double stroller but my redhead is too embarrassed to stroll with us in our city...but at camp we stroll once in a while....there I'm sure they are laughing WITH her and not at her....MOL!

Mum takes Merlin and me shopping into the local supermarket;
when people behind her in the queue ask, is it a boy or a girl she grins & says, Twins ... MOLOLOL ... the looks on their faces are priceless as the Stroller looks just like a baby's pram, is Pink & has dark mesh so people have to lean in close to see her "babies" ...
oh, and Mason uses it as a day-bed and a look-out possie to pounce on Merlin and me

Mom just says no. What about dogs?
We like to stay home mostly.

I don't think I need one, I love running around on my own being able to explore everything. And anyway everyone would think Mette was crazy if she got me one...! But as long as you all enjoy yours it's fine by me.

I love to hang out in my stroller even in the house. See my picture.
I like to stroll in good weather which we have now on the North Coast.

No, no, no! Dogs might be happy with it but not cats!

Don't forget:

Dogs have owners, us cats have staff.

Unless, of course, it's just somewhere to have a snooze. That's fine.

My handicapped kitty (he has CH), Riley Dean, LOVES his stroller! I bought him one in 2005. I take him to the park, on strolls, and on vacation. He's been to Monterey, Santa Cruz, Reno, and even went to the Pumpkin Festival in Half Moon Bay! It's a great thing for cats who otherwise may have a hard time having adventures. One of his favorite things to do is sit and watch butterflies.

I WISH I could afford one for my boys (MacIntosh & Pixel) ~ But it's a lot of money...... What if they didn't, either of them, like it?!?

I've wanted one for at least two years, but money is tight.....

I think that they are a great idea, but Fancy and Lammer are having none of it.

ICKY! Mom bought one for me because she takes me with her a lot, and there are some folks that get a little spastic about seeing a cat who walks on a leash. So sometimes she has to give in to human peer pressure and put me in the stroller to get me in and out of places, but I SURE DON'T LIKE IT!! I can walk by myself, thank you very much! Just get my collar and my leash and I'll show you how dignified I can be! Mo
