I Swear By These 16 Things For My High-Energy Kitty And You Should, Too

It measures 24″ x 16.5″ x 16″ and has a weight capacity of 55 pounds. It has loops for the seatbelt so you can secure it in the car and locking zippers to prevent escaping. There’s also a hand carry handle *and* an adjustable shoulder strap. You get a collapsible bowl too!

I consider myself lucky because while she’s not a big fan of the carrier, it isn’t a nightmare to get her inside. Before this one, I was using a hand-me-down carrier that was TSA-friendly, but that also meant it was pretty dang small. My cat always seemed cramped and uncomfortable, and she’d start crying shortly after going inside it. Once I started using this larger carrier, she sat happily and quietly for most of our trips without incident.This includes local trips to the vet *and* a move across states that took us through the mountains and lasted four hours. I recommend putting a comfy blanket orsleeping padinside to keep ‘em happy.

The real test, though, was my family’s senior cat [pictured above, right]who is almost 17-years-old now. My parents recently bought a second home and are now making a 12-hour drive every six months with their old guy in tow. This carrier has made all the difference in keeping the senior cat calm and comfortable during long rides. They were even able to fit his favorite throw pillow inside for him to rest his head on. After they had such great success with it, I had to get one for my cat, too!

Promising review: “We moved recently and during our house showings we had to have bothcatsout of the house for hours at a time. I like how I can fit bothcatsinside of this one with no issues, even with my slightly chunky 16 lbcat. It’s obviously a little heavy to carry both of them together, but that’s expected. The strap was [nice] to have and I didn’t have any issues carrying. I also love having different ways to get them inside, it made things much easier. Seems very sturdy and I like how it collapses easily for storage as well.” —amowrey175
