I thought, I could get them new beds or spruce up their lounging areas, but Charlie is averse to pet beds, and Priscilla has all the cozy spots she needs. New toys? They both have more than they could ever want, yet their favorite items are paper bags and boxes. I started thinking about spaces in general, and the unique challenges indoor cat owners face in providing a comfortable, stimulating environment for their kitties who never get to go outside. I settled on the idea that the best way to truly create a new space for them and enrich their lives, would be to literally think outside of the box, and open up a whole new world for them with their very own pet stroller!
NO, not that kind of stroller!
I've been thinking about getting a pet stroller for quite awhile now (I even did a post about it back in March), and whether you live in the suburbs, more urban areas, or smaller spaces, like apartments, strollers could be a great way to safely expand your cat's horizons, while giving you an excuse to explore your neighborhood, and get some exercise, too!
I really hope my cats don't read my blog
The stroller should be arriving sometime this week, and I'm curious whether my cat's will end up loving or hating it. I'm also looking forward to seeing if we get any weird reactions from people on the street. Just keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a fun adventure for all of us, and that no one ends up too traumatized! (I'm looking at you, Priscilla.)
