How long until someone makes a cat bed out of this so the cat never has to get up to chase the sun?

I think it's a Southern thing. That's what I always called them. Apparently this map agrees:

I've never heard them called a buggy in over 30 years of living in the south, and I'm not sure a map by "Cars and Parts" is valid support.

Seems to be more valid.

How old were the people they questioned? Even my grandparents would use buggy or cart interchangably. Anyone younger than that cart.
However,, buggy was always a term for a big baby stroller.
"Rubber baby buggy bumpers"

"Buggy" is common around here, but I've always hated it. I just say "cart."
I'm the guy that carries around 6x 2-liter sodas, 1 gallon of milk, and a few other things.

Strange. Since at least the late 80s, at no time have I ever heard the term "shopping wagon" or "shopping carriage" in either Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont. Never. Zero.
IGA, Hannaford, Walmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowe's, Shop n Save, Price Chopper, Sams, Mardens, whatever, they've always just been "carts."
I have heard French folk from Quebec and north Maine use the term "buggy" in English before though.

And I've never once heard anyone in 36 years call it a wagon or carriage in the Maryland, or a buggy in Virginia. Same with DC. Everyone here calls them shopping carts, with the rare basket by some people. That image is stupid.

Bare skin for the most part too, yeeeouch. Those balls are bad, the rubber shot, aka Angry Bees, is even worse. I think the pepper paintball round is the way to go. Initial pain, then the second the target inhales they're pretty much screwed and in no mood for a fight.
