Ted n me went on an adventure to the park. He found sitting down to be easiest. He loved looking at all the birds tho some did not like him, he sniffed the sniffs and watched ducks swimming and people and cars on the busy streets but he was glad to be home and sat up once we got back to our little courtyard
Hooray Ted's first big day out!
His eyes were as big as saucers when we got home and I got him out the stroller. He also tried to bite me but that's normal.
Lol'd at "he also tried to bite me but that's normal" 😂
omg, he loves his stroller, 🐱, he went back in of his accord and is happily chirping in there . He's asleep in there now. 🤷♀️
birb hunting noises
maybe
Oh my god I love how his fluffiness just fills up the pram
Ted's Big Adventure! Without Bill....
maybe I'll put both in there one time, they just have to not fight
They need one with two compartments.
Unfortunately if it’s the same as Melbcat’s the bottom ‘shelf’ is far too small to put a cat carrier in. So no chance of doubling up like that.
Edit: Unless heavily modified… 🤔 but no. I think the cavity beneath the original capsule would still not be tall enough and not deep enough. The front panel saying ‘Pawz’ could be removed so the carrier could be pushed forward between the struts (and secured with a strap) but the frame would be too narrow to allow that.
The stroller is big enough, the fluff makes the boys look big, and the weight specs can carry them both, they just have to be nice to each other
I meant sticking a standard plastic airline style carrier in underneath for the second boy, so they’re separated and can’t punch on.
But I think even if modified for more room the dimensions of metal frame wouldn’t allow that
Edit. This is what I mean. The smaller fabric shelf and front Pawz panel could be removed and replaced with a larger shelf, if it was large and rectangular enough to hold a standard plastic carrier. Like these for under rollators or wheelchairs.
But the room below might not be enough and could cause issues if the bottom carrier was riding too low.
And the width of the plastic carrier might be too much to slip between the pram legs for that little extra room for the top front edge.
It's just easier to see how they will be and if they fight too much then I will leave one of them home.
How exciting, and cute!
What a gorgeous experience for him!!
I want one of these for my future cat friend.
That's so damn cool!!!!!!
we went off road onto the unpaved bumpy path around the pond 🐱
Yeah it can be a bumpy ride. It really annoys me that you can’t change the wheels.
They do come off and you may have a slim chance at replacements off eBay. But the wheels themselves can’t come off to be replaced with something that has more shock absorption or traction. The double set of wheels are riveted together onto rectangular metal sleeves that click onto the legs of the frame.
At least they’re solid wheels so you can’t get a flat. 😔
I have considered stretching larger tyres over them as if they were inner tubes but that would require guesswork to buy tyres online that might not fit well.
I’m not a car or bike person but I’d think you’d have to consider both diameter and width.
And because it’s mostly welded in one piece you can’t even do anything with shock absorbers or an axel.
I could remove the rivets by damaging them and re-rivet some different wheels in but that’s a last resort repair. Don’t have the energy for all that.
I basically just put extra padding in the capsule to help cushion the cat and went carefully.
a little bumpy is good and yes, there is lots of padding 🐱
