Strollers for Cats: A Do or a Don’t?

A cat in a stroller
A few years back, one of my dog-owning clients asked me about getting a stroller for her dog. She wanted to walk to the Schwarzman Animal Medical Center for her dog’s appointments, but her dog tired easily and she thought a stroller would make the walk to AMC easier for both her and her dog. My first reaction was “that’s dumb, a dog stroller” but after thinking about it a bit, I realized the dog stroller had many uses to improve a dog’s quality of life and wrote about it in a previous blogpost. Never did I think of putting a cat in a stroller. Now, a new research study is investigating if strolling with your cat is a good idea. I’ll discuss the study in today's blogpost.
