Regular random bred kittens have been selling for more than $200 and as much as $400 for a few years here... and there is more ads looking for kittens then there is kittens. Very few cats are left intact in my area, and the SPCA subsidizes spay and neutering if people can't afford it.
I have been trying to build a cat stroller for WC, who loves riding in the yard on anything with wheels. He immediately jumps in the wheelbarrow, the milk crate on the back of my bicycle, and a bag lady cart I have and will sit and wait 1/2 an hour to be pushed... I think he hoped to get a human with a car, but I don't drive... I don't want to buy a proper stroller without knowing if WC will actually enjoy it if we walk along the road, and if HB will have a fit about being left behind. Meaning I need something big enough for both. But HB seriously hates the road, and he will probably be happy to pass... So today I built a wire mesh A frame type of attachment to clip the top of the bag lady cart, which I can mostly fill with an old sleeping bag. (getting into serious crazy cat lady territory here) I would really like to find something special that just me and WC do together, and he is very calm and curious about everything. He definitely has aspirations to ride the wheelbarrow beyond the gate. So I think he might really enjoy this... I am a bit paranoid about him maybe liking it too much... or maybe being motivated to try and follow me beyond the fenced yard. I plan to do this once, not go far, and watch his response, and wait a week or two before trying again, and gradually increasing this if he doesn't seem to be getting addicted.
