Funny! Not like any cat I’ve known.

It's apparently a thing - I did an image search to find this and there are a lot of pictures of people wearing their cats 😀

Carol, that really is funny! I went to find the video and found this pic that you likely saw. Our cat would NOT have been happy! I can see her fighting it with her legs flailing all over the place. LOL, I can see why a docile cat could make it funnier.

I don't think either of our cats would allow that.

I think most of my cats are smarter than that. The gray and white cat in the second picture could easily slip out of it if it wished.

I've carried my small dog in a front carrier a lot and have seen that style but I'd never subject him to something that looks so uncomfortable/unhealthy. (bad for his spine?)

I've mostly used this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0081XIJ9M

Hmmm. This would definitely come in handy whenever I take "the boys" to the cellar with their supper for the night. Especially the one cat that I have to carry because he won't go voluntarily. The other one trots in front of me right to the cellar door. No inside entrance to the cellar, have to go outside and around to the back of the house.

I have to juggle a bag of treats (in my pocket tho), two bowls of wet food in one hand, and a cat slung over my shoulder as I navigate down a set of porch steps. He actually will ride up there with little protest but I keep a hand on him. The sling would make it all so much easier - esp in Winter. lol

Awe, that’s cute! I love how he just sits there taking it all in

Pretty sure that cool dog carrier would not work for a cat 😄

It's probably best to train them when they're young.

Some say they work for cats too but it probably depends on the cat. And like you say, how young you get them used to the idea.

I can grab mine and my dog will jump up and down, tail wagging, ready to go.

I really can't picture any of my three cats putting up with this. Especially 25 pounder , Bernie.

I noticed the pup carrier seller states you should not bend over when using their product 😃

I'm guessing that's BIG in China. I read a story where a husband told his wife if she got a dog she had to take it to work with her. Soooooooooooooo.....she carried the little guy in a baby back pack .....she was a street sweeper, outdoors all day.

While I'm not one of those who enjoys seeing people's pets at every public place, I think I'd prefer seeing them restrained this way, rather than walking around on a leash.

I 100% agree with what Chisue posted, if you want something to carry around like this, have a kid. Why would anyone do this to a cat anyway, for attention? It looks terribly uncomfortable and unhealthy for cats to be forced into a position like this, except for the backpack Richard_Vero Beach posted.

FWIW, cats will often sit in such a position on their own.

^^ We've had cats for over 30 years and while they do sometimes put themselves in that position, they don't stay in it for long, and it is voluntary. Like I wrote, I wonder why anyone would want to do that to their cat, it must be attention seeking behavior.

Either that or they're so attached to their pets they want to take them along everywhere they go, like people do with dogs now too. Have you seen the folks with their dogs in baby strollers?

I'm pretty sure any cat won't put up with something it doesn't like for very long 😄

^^ Yes, just saw a lady with a dog in a stroller while out walking yesterday. The dog looked to be quite old (white muzzle) and seemed to enjoy being pushed around.

^Yes...again. There's a couple that walk in our neighborhood every day with their older dog in a stroller. They told me he can walk just so far then happily rides the rest of the way.
