Thread: cat carrier recommendations?

Every time I take one of mine to the vets, the vet comments on the size of it, and every time I use it I wish it came on wheels! Great for carting both cats around in, and for long journeys as it's got so much room!

Thanks for that Karen - I don't want a big one - it looked small in the photo so I'm glad you told me. The hunt is still on then

PetCargo® cabrio

Wendy - what size do you have the Cargo Cabrios in - I'm thinking a plastic one may be the way to go after all and these do look good.

Hi I've got thru quite a few carriers... not sure how I managed it but both my purple cabrios had the front dorrs broken, I mended one of them but the first had to go to the tip! I have also had a Ferplast carrier deassemble itsself when I was carrying it, yes the cat did get out but I caught him PDQ! I get a replacement from Pets at home, as the dodgy one had been brand new I have to say that the replacement one has never let me down, even crammed full of mega stud boy or a whole litter of kittens.

At the moment my favourite is the petz den folding one... but some of the cats are a bit startled when I pick them up in it as it doesn't have a solid floor, so it sags on take off!

Hope this helps... those sleepy pods do look rather interesting but I really would like to see how a really big male would fit in... and could he stand up in it, as Riley actually doesn't fit in the Cabrio any more! (not for more than a few minutes anyway)
