Thread: New Main Coon Owner , Please help

I have both types of carriers,I prefer the wire carrier type as they are really strong but due to having so many cats also have a "sofcrate" which is brilliant as it folds away & you can get them in quite large sizes,whatever you go for make sure it is a top loader,a lot easier for dropping a reluctant cat into or even more so if you are unlucky enought to have a sick or injured cat.A lot of the plastic carriers do unclip half way down so you can take the lid off but working in a vets I can vouch for lost minutes doing this....!
My wire cage is {sorry this is old measurements not into modern still have to have it translated for me} 19" x 13" x 14" & my 10kg boy travels to shows very comfortably in it,he can't lay out but tucks his feet up,nods off & forgets about everyone, that particular cat has travelled a lot better in that then the sof crate although he is happy in that if he has someone sharing with him,that crate measures 24" x 13" x 14".If you get something like a sof crate just make sure zips are fastened at the front we have put one cat in top for a show & when we have gone to load up thought the carrier was lighter than expected,show cat out of unzipped front flap another cat in its place... Happy shopping you are guaranteed to spend more on this cat than you would yourself or anyone else....!
