well, we did it

Well, it happened. If you follow Cats Going Places (and you should), you would have seen the article mom wrote about to get a stroller or not.

After much thinking and crowd sourcing, she decided to go ahead and do it. The biggest factor for her was safety - she wants some way to continue to take Chanel out in public but keep her safe.

After much deliberation, mom sucked it up and ordered one. It arrived and mom put the wheels on and it was ready to go.

For now it is sitting up in the living room where some weird tuxedo kitten can get used to it. As you can see, she has been checking it out at her own pace.


No - not THIS cat. Daiquiri wouldn't go out in that thing for all the cat treats in the world. However, she does like to jump up there and snooze. She was the first to check it out.

Finally a certain kitten managed to get up there on her own. Mom put her in it a couple of times but she would immediately jump back out. The first time she found a box and climbed in, the second time she actually jumped up into it herself.

Mom is still doing mental gymnastics about using it, but is hoping to get it out for a test run this weekend. It does fold down, but not as flat as mom was hoping for. It has a basket underneath for Chanel's "stuff" and the top zips closed as well. You can see at Chanel's feet that there are straps that will clip to her harness too.

Mom will say the only thing funnier than HER hang up about this is the reaction she got from her friend Miss Kelly. She was all "you DID NOT!!" and mom laughed since Miss Kelly used to take her dog Bailey to daycare on a regular basis. Mom said once the weather gets nice she is going to force Miss Kelly to meet her and Chanel for coffee.   MOL

  1. Well I hope it works. I think it is a great idea. I can't imagine anyone around here except maybe Two Two doing that. I would love to have one for Two Two, I think. We sure wish you and Chanel good luck.

  2. Chanel looks great in there! It will be great for her to have a way to get out and meet people while she’s also safe from launching herself out to explore when your human isn’t expecting it.

  3. I love the way you've adapted to Chanel's need to go slowly, and check things out at her own pace. I hope you have a videographer standing by for this weekends maiden voyage of Chanel's Schooner!

  10. I've been debating bringing my cats out on harnesses, but I don't know if they would then demand it all the time. Who knows? Chanel may do the same.
