I saw these on e.bay. At first I thought you cannot be serious :) but
on second thoughts they could be useful especially if you have an old
and infirm pet. What do you think ?

Cheaper at  Hammacher Schlemmer-- $129.95

How about a double decker for $250:

Actually, I think they're a great idea for cats that can't handle a harness
and leash.  I'd get one myself but I don't have shoes and a bag to match....

Ach don't worry,  I'll lend you my high heels and handbag. Mind you
don't trip up in them. <BG>
I like the double decker. I could Kim in the bottom part and Dibby
the dog in the top.

I think they're really cool for old, infirm dogs. Also would be neat
for cats--I don't think mine would like it--but given early
"stroller-training" I think cats would love it too. It certainly would
ensure absolute safety for cats who have been socialized and like to
get out with their owners.

Oh fer gawdsake!  Are there no mental health programs for the people who
would put a disabled pet in a stroller and showcase their foolishness to the
public?  Good grief.

There actually are dogs (and cats) around who enjoy a jaunt outdoors
with their owners. If the dog (or cat) is no longer able to walk
comfortably due to arthritis, hip displasia or whatever, but still
enjoys "walks", there's nothing wrong with using a stroller.

A crippled pet  ... like you have outlined is a euthanasia candidate. This
isn't your sweet gramma Edith who the neighbors know.

to touch them.

Don't you think a disabled cat deserves to spend some time outdoors?

Is "outdoors" synonomous with being placed in a stroller and pushed around
the neighborhood ... to you?  Get a grip.

When referring to a disabled or arthritic geriatric cat, absolutely.  What
part of "disabled cat" don't you understand?

Get a clue.

Rubbish.  A disabled pet can be put outside in a safe area.  This does not
require a stroller and an escort about the neighborhood. Good grief.

Yeah, you can always drag her around on a leash or just plant her in one
spot....  Are you that insensitive to a cat's emotions or are you just plain
stupid?

Sometimes the walk is just as enjoyable for the owner as the pet. I
have a friend who has taken late night walks around campus, every
night, for many, many years. When it became uncomfortable for the dog
due to advanced age, he missed the walks *himself* as much as the dog
did. I was thinking this stroller would have been perfect for him.
And yeah, I guarantee some cats would like it. I recall a childhood cat
who not only tolerated being pushed around in a doll buggy, but would
jump in for a ride.

Even my wife laughed (and said something you would not like) when I read
your post outloud to her.  Can you imagine two seniors walking about the
neighborhood pushing a disabled cat in a stroller?  Don't need to start a
rumor that we've lost our crackers!

Heh. I imagine this person has more crackers than you and your wife
will ever hope to have. I know it's hard for you to comprehend, but the
level of compassion a person has for animals has no correlation to
intellect. Obviously. Especially your wife, who honestly really sounds
like an idiot. Can she read, or do you only read to her what you want
her to hear?

The fact is, the more some people post, and the more information that's
offered, a personality is formed from the words you've typed. You've
been posting here a while, and you're losing credibility with every
post. You've got a really crappy attitude about women in general, pets
in general and honest, I don't know why you hang around with people
whose level of compassion for animals so far surpasses yours.
You choose to ridicule just about anything that you either don't like,
or don't understand. I gave you the benefit of the doubt in the first
thread you were getting flame-baked. From that point on, all you've
done is dig yourself in deeper and further prove that you just don't
get it.

With  "Phil P"  I have an effeminate male on my hands. Okay pal, into the

Im certainly not taking sides or getting into the middle of this, but I have
to agree with Philip here that attacking the spouse is a pretty low blow.
My husband has no control or say it what I post here, just like I have no
control or say when he is playing games online with other ppl.  His
reactions and mine are definitely different; I'm more passive and he is more
aggressive, but I don't think his behavior means "I" am any of the things
people call him if he comes off too harsh, just like he wouldn't think "he"
is passive or noncommittal b/c I haven't jumped into the middle of all these
bickerings.  (Although, I suppose this will land me in hot water now, but
come on guys, this string of hate has been going on for, what, 3 or 4 days
now?)

Hey, he brought her into this with:  "Even my wife laughed (and said

she's an a.shole and a fair target, too.

These a.sholes who try to show how macho they are by acting 'tough' with
cats (and probably women, too) only show how fragile their egos are and how
insecure and weak-spirited they really are.

They might think you're a decent couple who care about their cat .
Besides, does it matter what other people think; you don't seem the
sort to care!

On the face of, they would smile and say "How sweet!"  But between
themselves, our "chatty Cathy's" would tell the truth to each other.  And
sooner or later, my wife would get wind of it. I know our kids would raise
an eyebrow because neither of us pushed the grandkids around in strollers!
Been there, done that.

Personally, I think it's disaster waiting to happen if a stray mean dog
decided to eat "Kitty in the stroller".

I suppose that could apply to harness walking too. It's rare to see a
stray dog where I live and most dogs walked on leads are used to
seeing cats outside but I wouldn't fancy pushing the stroller around
the park where dogs are off lead!
