Recently moved from a house with a HUGE screened in porch, where my cat went every day. Now live in a senior apartment. I bought this so I could take my cat \"out\" with me---she sits on the front porch in the mornings in her stroller while I have my coffee. I've taken her for walks around the neighborhood in it, too. She has jumped it in on her own for a nap a few times. ~ She hates getting in to the hard-sided (plastic) cat carrier to go to the vet, etc., but she seems to love this stroller.
