oh good, i thought i was the only insane person who was using these pet strollers for animals other than dogs! i just purchased a stroller/carrier, where the carrier attaches to the stroller portion so I don't have to transfer them from a carrier in the vehicle to the stroller when we go places for walks, or to the vet. okay, so I originally bought it for my house rabbits, and they certainly love it, but I like the fact that the one I bought has a tether inside to clip a harness to, so that I can leave the top open and not worry about anyone jumping out and escaping. but still! they're awesome!

The first stroller I bought had a separate carrier like that, but they outgrew it too fast. That's what I get for having a Maine Coon.

I have a minivan though so I don't have to worry about transferring them when they go in the vehicle, the stroller fits in just fine...although some of my cats prefer to ride in the car with a seatbelt harness instead of a carrier... Harley especially, she gets carsick if she has to ride in a carrier (or stroller) but usually doesn't if she is not in a carrier.

I have a friend whose mother uses a dog crate attached to a wagon. She pulls it behind her while she walks. She gets the extra workout and her cats get to be outside. She likes the wire cage because the cats get a 360 view and the protection of a strong cage.

I have seriously considered one for Zoe and Isabella but I really don't want them to start trying to slip out the door when it's open. Those of you who do 'walk' your cats, do you have this problem?

I did-- when I started taking my cat Church out on harness, he started acting really interested in the doors/outside. He actually ran out the door once when a family member was letting the dog out, scared me half to death but thank goodness he had learned to come running when I call "Churchie!" I used to call him when it was time for his lysine treats and when he ran out I ran out after him, he was already past the porch stairs but when I called him he stopped to look at me and headed back, so I was able to grab him.
It was sort of a phase though because eventually he stopped being interested in the doors.
