I love my pets...but really????

 My daughter and I went to a local Scottish Festival today.  We took our dogs because you could and it was a beautiful day.  We are shopping the booths.  I turn the corner, look up, and see...

A couple that looks about maybe 55-60 pushing two bright red strollers.  Each stroller has a battery operated fan attached in the back opening between the top of the seat and the sun shade on top.  In each stroller is.......

A CAT.  Yes, that's correct...a matching set of black and white tuxedo cats.  And when I got around front, each stroller had various ribbons that each cat had won in cat shows.

That's all....I have nothing else I can think of to say about it  Confused

My baby girl is a married woman...and now my baby girl HAS a baby girl. Time unfolds in such an amazing way. I've been blessed!

  • I wonder about those people....

  • I wonder about people sometimes too... I work at a high end cooking store (locally owned, not a big box) on a somewhat "expensive" street here in town.  People bring their small dogs in all. the. time (not so many big dogs come in - mostly small).  We have food that is NOT good for dogs stored on the shelves, not to mention really breakable items that a wayward tail could easily shatter or knock over and break.  I give the side eye to any person bringing in a small dog in a stroller, backpack, or purse too - dogs just don't belong in strollers unless they have a physical issue - or in stores for that matter.  I just don't get it.  I wouldn't bring my 80 pound dog into any store other than a pet store where she is obviously welcome to be.  Don't get why people think that their dog in a purse should be an exception. 

    Cats in strollers, however, that is something I have yet to see in person.  Were people staring?  I think I would have!

  • cats in strollers are weird! I take my dog in a stroller to go on walks or go places. People are so mean to me all the time and say "why dont u let ur dog walk!" I just tell them that he is disabled and cant walk. It shuts them up really fast lol

  • Did the cats look comfortable?  Most cats I know would be terrified of being tied down in a public area. 
  • The cats seemed fine...I'm sure they were used to it.

  • OH...but the lady wouldn't let ANYONE take photos.  She was pretty ugly about it.

  • Ok, that is super weird! I would totally have stared...and probably pointed and laughed.
  • The same thing happened to me in the airpost not that long ago. Mom actually saw it first, she pointed to it and said to me guess what's in that stroller and I said dog, nope...cat! My cats would have melt downs if I tried to put them in a stroller for any longer then 5 seconds.

  • Yikes.  I get that people love their pets, heck I love my cat, too.  However, I would never put her in stroller and push her around like a baby.  That to me is just odd.
