How to Take Your Cats Outside Safely: Cat Stroller Review

Do you want to give your cats an outdoor experience, but your cat refuses to use a harness? Many cats cannot get used to walking with a harness, but will get into a pet stroller. In this video I look at a Pet stroller by OxGord, including the benefits of introducing your cats to the outdoors, the features of a cat stroller, and tips on using it safely.

Who cares what the neighbors think. I'm getting a stroller for my 3 cats, they'll love it.

[@9LivesToLive]

LOL! Good for you! That's great!

[@cynforrest]

Me too. Great idea. Hope kitty likes it - I won’t force it.

[@goldengirl5165]

I want one for my cats

[@ghostbird92]

For real. Dogs get to go on walks and experience enriching environments. Why can't cats? It's messed up that they're stuck inside one house their entire lives.

[@elsplace896]

On Reddit lots of cat owners are loving it.

[@jennifertavares1682]

Part of the reason I got my cats a stroller was to make me go for more walks more often.

[@9LivesToLive]

Great point, Jennifer! Also, you neighbors will stop and begin to recognize your cat if it ever gets out.

[@Loverofallthingsliving]

Dude. Best. Idea. EVER!!!! I don’t care what my neighbours will think, if you love your pets you put THEM first 🥰🥰🥰

[@9LivesToLive]

Great! Thanks for your comment, Mia! So true about pets.

[@jennifern9373]

I was certainly shy about using the stroller, but people saw my cat and enjoyed watching him. It piqued some cat owners’ interest and they approached me to ask questions about it. Great info, and yes, must be gentle and patient with cats. Important not to be rough in any way as it does take getting used to.

[@9LivesToLive]

People do like the stroller. They think it's cute! Thanks for watching, Jennifer!

[@laakilaa484]

I get my first roller today, and no hesitation went for a walk whit my cat, it was great! I love it and so my cat.

[@9LivesToLive]

Wonderful!

I've been wanting to get a pet stroller for my cat , Teddy , for months now and i've finally got it today . And for those of you who are either wanting or already getting your pet stroller and are self concious or afraid of what other people might think or say let me tell you something : I remember both my mom and my brother telling me how embarrased they would be if they had to come with me or be in my shoes because of what other people might think or say . And listen here's what i have to say : Me being a person who's been self concious about what people say or think about me for the most part of my life , i came to one conclusion . And that conclusion is People are going to try and ruin your day anyway just to make their day feel better , but what you can do is either laugh at them or smile at them basically letting them know that theyre not going to rain on your parade no matter how much they try . You already know the quote : Dont worry , be happy . Have a great day 😊😌.

[@9LivesToLive]

Thanks for the advice, Anna!

[@Oscar-42]

its like an on the go catio!!! they can enjoy so much of nature safely. but it does take some training. at first they may seem to hate it as most cats asscosiate it with the vet, but after awhile of treats and short walks theyll love it

[@9LivesToLive]

It is like a moving catio! Thanks for the comment!

[@AnaRednelo]

Whenever my husband and I take our Pomeranian in a stroller, we constantly hear gasps. Like literal gasps, and then those people melt and whisper how cute he his and want to pet him. We’re taking our kitten out today in a stroller with the litterbox inside and her food and a toy, I expect the same result will happen. If people are thinking anything about you, it’s that you have an adorable pet and you love them so much that you want them to be a part of your life.

[@bettyboop1524]

I think this video has some valid points that I never thought about. For instance, your cat not knowing what her house looks like or the neighborhood around where she lives. I have an outdoor cat also who always manages to be back at the door around 8 pm because she knows it's time for sleep and can find her home. My inside cat not so much. I'm going to put more thought in about this, but I have to admit that there are a lot of dogs being walked around my neighborhood and that does scare me if they go after the stroller.

[@9LivesToLive]

The dogs are an important concern, but I don't think they would attack a baby carriage. I would be more concerned about your outdoor cat getting attacked.

[@_araminta_]

The intro is hilarious 🤣

[@9LivesToLive]

Glad you like it! Thanks!

[@elsplace896]

I will have to get one when I move, can't let my cats outside at new place. So glad to see positive comments. I got all the info I need to get a stroller from your video, thanks!

[@9LivesToLive]

Great! I think your cat will like it!

[@QueenGail]

My male cat loves outside but he hates the harness and leash until I get it on him, the last time I finally put it on him and took him outside I stopped to talk to a neighbor and when I looked down he had gotten half way out of his harness. My female cat won’t go further than looking out the door. Blessings 💜💚

[@9LivesToLive]

Yeah, cats have their own personalities. Males are more likely to wander.

[@dlight9849]

I have 6 rescued cats so people already think I'm the crazy cat lady, so *No Way* I'm getting a cat stroller to give people more ammunition. 🤣

[@9LivesToLive]

LOL! I know how you feel!

[@QueenGail]

😂😂😂 Blessings 💜💜

[@cynforrest]

Nifty idea. I’ve been thinking about a stroller for awhile now. Appreciate your suggestions on how to introduce kitty to the stroller. Ya know … you’re just the best there is!!! Thanks

[@9LivesToLive]

You are so welcome, Cyn! I appreciate your comment and am glad the video was interesting!

Great video. Love your window catio. Good enfo.

[@izcab]

I love your videos. Very informative. I’ve learned tons from you.

[@9LivesToLive]

Awesome, thank you!

[@665Kattt]

Hopefully some strollers have shocks for not so smooth surfaces. Take some mace for loose dogs and a few beers in the bottom and off we go.

[@9LivesToLive]

Loose dogs can be a problem! Thanks for the comment, StormRider!

[@MultiSmaland]

My 2 rescue cats beg me to let them outside all the time but soon as they hear any tiny noise, they immediately panic and sprint back inside but then, 5 mins later beg to go back out again. So I bought a stroller. I've done stroller training in my apartment. So many treats were used. They are still not too sure about it but I'll try just sitting outside with them early in the morning when it is quiet. I'll let you know how it goes.

[@9LivesToLive]

Yes, I would like to hear how they adjust. As with many things, cats are suspicious creatures.

[@MultiSmaland]

They hated it! They immediately panicked and were scratching the inside of the stroller to escape! I only pushed them 5 meters. I am doing more stroller training inside my apartment everyday. I will try again in a few days.

[@CarolynAitken-yp2rq]

I use mine to take my cat to the vet it’s only a 10 minute walk away but I can’t carry a cat basket because I’ve got osteopenia so too much for my back. I’ve never had any problems with putting him in it in fact he loves it he likes to look around and I know he feels safe in it.

[@9LivesToLive]

Love it!

They are!

[@kendalchen]

Thank you for this review. It has never bothered me a whit or a jot if I look demented wheeling a cat around, but I DO live up a lot of stairs and am looking desperately for a stroller with a removable basket or something to avoid falling to my death. That would be ideal. :)

[@9LivesToLive]

I have not seen anything with a removable basket. Hmmm. That is something to think about.

[@i_am_a_freespirit]

I live 20 miles out of Town, one of my 5 cats will be 10 years old this Year and he is ALMOST blind since birth. I did take the cats in a stroller like that, way back about 8 years ago, because i lived in a small town then. But even my ALMOST blind cat runs free outside here on my wannabe farm. I can tell when he went to unfamiliar areas, because his bottom part of his lip has bruises on them. Even in the house i constantly change where they eat to keep Mr Eye on his paws to keep him from getting afraid of changes. This helps him outdoors as well. The other 4 cats will also help him along when has a bad day...and to top it off he is my Best mouser 😍! That's why I had to lock them out at night, because he would bring in live mice and I had to catch them to set them back out!

[@9LivesToLive]

Thanks for the comment Freespirit! I think most cats are nearsighted and use their hearing to hunt. That's why your best mouser is almost blind.

[@ivetteinfused]

Great tips! I'm thinking of getting one more for myself (back issues lifting carrier) to get my cat to the vet and back. My only worry is that I will have to get him in/out while outside (yikes!). I do have collapsible back seats, so I will measure height in there AND potential stroller for possible purchase. Thank you!

[@9LivesToLive]

Thanks for your comment. I hope you find a solution that works for your situation.

[@anggieb.2936]

I’m not getting a stroller for me to use, he will walk on a leash, but my mother and nieces and nephews will really enjoy taking my cat out and about and I’ll save myself some worry about them pulling or dropping his leash!

[@9LivesToLive]

Great idea, Anggie! Use the stroller for guests that want to take your cat out, but don't know how to use the harness and leash! I love it! Thanks for the comment!

[@kidee761]

[@nightembergrl]

I have a backpack I take my Zuki on walks in. Kinda like the idea of a stroller when I get my next Kitty. Seems easier for multi cat trips

[@9LivesToLive]

Backpacks are good but can get heavy, especially with two cats! LOL! Thanks for your comment!

[@bmiles4131]

@@9LivesToLivethey might have to take turns. MWF different cat. I have a stroller and backpack I got for my small dogs because they’d get tired. Haven’t considered for the cat, but one of the reviews for the backpack was someone who hiked in the MOUNTAINS with it. Zipper was on the bottom and they said the cat fell out. So don’t get one with zipper on the bottom.

[@McPorkyCheese]

I’m so so so tempted to get my cat a stroller. But he’s just so shy and nervous about ANY thing new. I’ve been trying all year to get my cat to enjoy just being outside, but I have to keep him on a harness as we live in a condo and I can only take him out to the nearest grassy area on the property. He always ends up walking back to the door wanting to go back in. I am thinking a stroller would be better cause he’ll feel more in “his own space” while still being outside. But again, I want him to genuinely like it. I don’t want him running away each time the stroller comes out. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and try it for him

[@9LivesToLive]

It's hard to say. Buying one and then finding out he wants nothing to do with it would be a disappointment. But maybe it's worth the gamble.

[@dianastacey919]

My friends cats he took camping learned to unzip the tent. So be prepared for your cat to unzip that stroller after awhile.

[@9LivesToLive]

LOL. Never heard of that!

[@Custom_Crochet_Works]

My cats freaking love cat strollers the second I take it out they all jump in it

[@9LivesToLive]

That's great that they can enjoy it so much! Thanks for your comment!

[@Custom_Crochet_Works]

@9 Lives To Live np :)

[@dianneleon2522]

No, l don't think l'll ever use. But good information and video as always. You brought up some reasons for using a stroller l never thought of. If you can get your cat to enjoy this they might go to the vet with less trama 🤔

[@9LivesToLive]

Good point about trips to the vet! New experiences might help some cats have less anxiety.

[@LcChubby123]

I want one I can put my three cats in all together 😂❤️

[@9LivesToLive]

Three might fit if they are not too big! LOL

I have been thinking about a stroller ever since my Sprinkles escaped. found her eventually but she definitely long for the outside.

[@9LivesToLive]

Go for it!

[@dorothygregory3184]

How do you get them used to seeing dogs

[@9LivesToLive]

It has not been a problem so far. If a dog is coming, it's easy enough to change course.

[@freedomthroughspirit]

What a great option for certain cats in certain walkable neighborhoods.

[@lindachampagne936]

@@lindachampagne936 Too bad!

[@oliviadinges3255]

I was not afraid to take my cat in their stroller that she has the only thing that I'm worried about is how to shut the stroller I have no problem taking her out as people thought it was super cute and going out of the way to treat a cat like a child is physically to do it because it shows that you care about the pet more than a pet but as part of the family

[@oliviadinges3255]

Please excuse to speak to text as some of the words were not exactly what I have like the word physically I don't even know what I meant to say the physically probably exactly

[@9LivesToLive]

Yes, a lot of people love seeing cats in strollers. They do think it's cute. I'm glad that you take your cats out in their stroller. Thanks for the comment!

[@reinadegrillos]

I have a severe emphysema and when i have to take my cat to the vet (it's very near but it costs me a lot to get there) I just can't take the weight of the cat in a normal carrier, so I'm thinking in buying a stroller.

[@9LivesToLive]

Good idea. But I suggest you walk the route once to see if there are any obstacles that might be a problem for a stroller.

[@jade7372]

Let them think you’re crazy. At least then they’ll leave you alone 😂

[@9LivesToLive]

LOL

[@GoogleUser-qz5zv]

It’s hard to tell because of the music that was unfortunately added to this video, but in the tiny bit of the stroller in action without music, it sounds like the wheels are really noisy and are not shock absorbing. Is that correct?

[@9LivesToLive]

The wheels do not have shock absorbers, but they are not very noisy. The mic was just close.

[@opalpearl3051]

I don't care what my neighbors think. They are all overweight and in poor health and would benefit from walking around town with or without a cat stroller. What are you in high school still trying to win a popularity contest. I just want to know which stroller to buy.

[@9LivesToLive]

Great! Enjoy your walks!

[@joelstoecklin2418]

My cat only wants to eat grass and do nothing else outside so i think she will enjoy this

[@9LivesToLive]

Great! I hope she likes it!

[@umtum]

Do you if I take my two cats two year old cats who are indoor cats outdoor in a stroller, it could affect them negatively when they come back home? I just want them in the stroller only

[@9LivesToLive]

I don't think so. But they might want to start going out.

[@caroles5258]

Hahahahaha. Wouldn't want to see what happens if a stray dog shows up.

[@9LivesToLive]

You are right, Carole. It is very important to know your neighborhood, and some stray dogs can be a menace. But I also think it is much less likely that an aggressive dog on the loose will attack a stroller than, say attack a cat on a leash. Thanks for your comment bringing up this important point.

[@lindachampagne936]

You got it!! There's a vicious dog living across from me. He's chased me twice now. I can't even let my cat out in the catio and when I'm home and outside I would let her sit in the sun outside the catio. Then night time she would jump in. Glad I'm moving soon!!

LOL! Maybe I should!

[@deberacalvello5023]

I don’t think it’s a good idea. I think it’s more of a tease because a cat most likely would wanna be outside the stroller which you don’t want so why tease them also, there’s a possibility that they can get out I wouldn’t risk it. Domesticated cats belong inside.

They like the stimulation.

I first bought a four wheel that had two wheels each on front. It was awful to steer. Gave it away. Next I bought a three wheel cheaper one and it would tip up if I put any weight on handle.. I sent it back. Then with that refund and my mama cash from my son for moms day. I bought a Viagdo. It is pretty expensive but I needed something for me to hang onto also. It has one wheel in front and all wheels are huge and it rolls on grass, gravel really well. I bought is due to my occasionally need for a walker which embarrass me but this walker gives me something to hang onto. It is great and well worth it. I am not sponsored lololo.
