God help me. I am looking at getting a cat pram for Ted so I can take him walking and easily take him to the vet and groomer. There are also backpacks. ๐Ÿค”

I am becoming a cat lady. ๐Ÿค“

also, new dinosaur tshirt and some print jeans have been ordered. :) for me, not Ted tho he would probably look adorbs

Do it. The cat pram is so practical, made things so much easier. The $80 generic on eBay does fine (just make sure to line it with something waterproof in case of wee)

Melbcat hated the backpack because it was tall with a narrow base that forced her to sit up. She got very claustrophobic and balled herself up at the bottom anyway even though it was too small for her to comfortably fit.

My thoughts too. Lots of people in the inner city have cat prams because they don't have cars.

I agree about the catpacks. Ted is a big breed/boy, he's heavy and big, he wouldn't be comfortable and I would get a sore back

Sox was carried in a catpack when she came and left my place this time around, she really did not like it and despite being a small cat (just furry) it was not enough for her, she'd have to sit up in it at all times or curl up awkwardly.

I imagine Ted would need a much bigger one that wouldn't be feasible. A cat pram is a better idea in the city.

I've thought about getting the cat backpack but it has to have good cooling and with a little place for her to hide if she wants to.
