I bought my ruddy Abyssinian cat this pet stroller at the beginning of 2011. He immediately spent most of his days in it watching birds on the patio, getting ready to take his first cross country road trip during the summer of 2012 --- that was after he practiced with a shorter trip to Santa Fe in September of 2011. Last summer we traveled from Tucson to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in our Nissan Quest minivan. Every time we got out at a stop or did an overnight at an interstate motel, Putlitz (that's our cat!) went for walks. We made a point of strolling through all the Petcos or Petsmarts that we could find. Everyone applauded the cat in the stroller who sat there so divinely and with such contentment. We dropped him off at a kennel outside Pittsburgh where we have relatives. The kennel owner used the stroller every day taking the cat for walks in South Park. When we picked him up a month later, we bought another stroller just like this one to take him back to Tucson. I could imagine him riding in his spanky new stroller aboard the Queen Mary 2 which is pet-friendly, going up the elevator to deck 12 where the kennels are located, and coming with us to Europe. We could have packed it in the hatchback trunk of our rented Ford Mondeo as we toured Germany. Many of the hotels were pet-friendly. But alas the Queen Mary 2 was sold out of space in the pet area of the ship! Maybe next time .
