Cat Carriers


I've just invested £10-99 for a cat carrier for my pair.

It's made of plastic, vented all round and also has little hooks so that you can strap it into the car with a seatbelt. Bought it in the local pet shop.

Will put a picture up later.

What kind of carriers do you all use?

Re: Cat Carriers


Mine sounds similar to your Nae but without the seatbelt hooks. I would really like to get a new one. Saw some top opening ones in PAH that looked very good...

Re: Cat Carriers


I bought a new one last year from the vets when Cassie was very ill. The previous one opened at the front and Cassie was always reluctant to come out of it.....we either had to drag her out or tip her out The new one is a lot better, especially if they are ill, as the hinged top lifts up. According to the label on it, it also conforms to airline regulations if need be....cost £18.99..

Re: Cat Carriers


well we are pretty old fashioned, as we use a round wicker carrying basket, with detachable door so it doubles up as a bed normally so its very useful

Re: Cat Carriers


Forgot to say that the front door on the carrier opens either up or to the side.

Moli & Sox seem to like it anyway, I've put it on the floor and they have been playing on it lol

Re: Cat Carriers


That's good Nae. The seat belt hooks are a good idea - I just wrap the straps round mine and hope - it's fine for stopping them slipping off round corners etc but wouldn't be any use in a bump.

Lets hope they don't have to use it too much - mine run when they see the carriers come out - vet or kennels, they don't like either!

Re: Cat Carriers


I thought the seatbelt thingy's were a good idea too. Altho I can walk to my vets in about 10mins, it's only 2 streets away.

I'm hoping i don't have to use it too much either DM
