Maiden Voyage of the Cat Stroller
We had our first walk about with Oliver's new stroller. He seemed
pretty comfortable about the whole thing and didn't dive into the "privacy" area at all. He did crouch down a time or two when we saw a car (he is terrified of automobiles except if he is riding in one) but he seem to realize pretty quickly that he was safe so he just rode along looking at everything. I was pushing so couldn't see his reactions but it was pretty cute. As I am pushing I noticed that his ears popped out of the mesh and were like little periscopes turing this way and that. Boone, our Lab was very excited about the whole thing. He just seemed beside himself with joy that Oliver was with us. I guess being a dog he is happiest when the whole family is together. He kept running ahead (on his leash) and then doubling back to give Oliver kisses. When we saw another dog or person Boone would give a bark and prance around the stroller like "Hey, look at my little brother!" It was very funny. When we got home and I opened the carrier Oliver got out and was sort of low to the ground and a little wobbly. I wonder if he got a little motion sick. After several big yawns and a drink of water he seemed fine again. We'll take it slow and build him up to long walks. It will be interesting to see if he goes enthusiastically or not for the second walk. -- Margaret Fine |

Oh, how cute! When I brought Stinky home, it was in a canvas Barnes and Noble tote bag, and on the subway. He was a very skinny kitten with out-of-proportion ears, and that's exactly how I thought he looked when he would pop his little head out of the bag and look around. Like a little periscope.

It will be interesting to see if he goes enthusiastically or not for the second walk. Or if he was just a little 'whelmed with it all. Pictures soon?

What a neat thing...the outing is good for him, and the exercise is good for you *and* the Lab. (Hmmm....and the cat is the only one who gets pushed about to enjoy the scenery and fresh air--- Who says cats aren't the smart ones?) Sherry |
