What Would A stroller Do To Your Cat’s Life?
March 7, 2009
I recently saw something that was both strange and funny. But thinking about it, I realized it made a lot sense in many ways. What I saw was someone walking their cat in a stroller.
Have you ever seen one of these? They’re becoming more popular, but I live in a small town, and I’d never seen one before in my life. Like I said, at first I wondered why in the world anyone would want a stroller for their cat. But as I kept thinking about it, it made more and more sense. And now, I’ve also the proud owner of a pet stroller.
Cat pet strollers may seem like an extravagant luxury, but they’re not. You’re probably thinking, oh, come on, who ever takes their cat out for a walk? But that’s the whole point.
Cats and dogs are different, and dogs love being out with their master, even on a leash, and are happy to follow along, or take the lead as the case may be. They would walk all day with you if they had the energy. But cats? Not so much.
Walking your cat on a leash IS possible, but does have risks associated with it. Were your cat to freak out over a dog or something else that frightens her, she could cause harm not only to herself, but also to you. With a stroller though, all that would be avoided.
That’s the beauty of these strollers. Now you can take your cat along on your walks (or even jogs), and enjoy her company, get her some fresh air, without having to force her to walk on a leash. Which is pretty much not going to work, anyway.
Pet strollers aren’t great just for walks. They are great for traveling in general, while going to the vet, going out on your own patio or in the back yard watching the birds and squirrels. Once you get a stroller for your kitty you’ll have a very happy and content feline.
