The idea pet strollers invokes images of aged, fur-clad ladies pushing their spoiled shiatsus in Victorian prams, but that’s hardly fair to Lise King’s eminently practical invention.
Able to haul animals weighing up to 50 pounds, Ms. King’s Kittywalk pet strollers are designed for owners of mid-size dogs — or enormous cats — and are more likely to be used by the straphanger set.
“ It’s a wonderful vehicle for people who live in cities, where they have to take their cats to the vet in those heavy, awkward carriers,” said Ms. King, adding that the dog strollers are useful for transporting pets that are old or injured.
The canvas-and-mesh kennels are mounted on a steel frame with wheels, and pass the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s rules requiring pets to be “carried in kennels or similar containers.” The kennel is removable for off-road carrying.
