Cat Carriers

||||||||||||
Cat Carriers come in all shapes and sizes and are designed for different uses. Some are designed to keep your cat safe during a long journey; others are designed to meet special safety and humane laws for travel in aircraft or ship. Then again some are designed for a quick trip to the vets and back. Which one you need very much depends on the type of journey your cat will be taking.
For most of us, we will only be making short trips to the vet or to the local cattery. The choices of carrier in these instances are very varied and range from simple plastic boxes or soft foldable bags, to fashionable designer ranges..
For those who will be using a cat carrier or cage more often, say for cat shows or long journeys, the choices are less varied. However you will have to consider all the options available to be able to find the right one that will keep your cat comfortable and safe for long periods of time.
However there are many different types on the market now, here are just a few we have come across:
Plastic cat carriers – Lightweight and practical for those quick trips to the vet. Some of them even have special seat belt attachments so you can secure them in your car.
Holdalls
– These come in all shapes, colours and designs. Easy to store afterwards
as they can be folded up, and are also very stylish. They are also easy
to wash as they can be popped into the washing machine. They are also
easier to carry, as they come with a shoulder strap. Even though they
look more like a handbag than a cat carrier they are still designed
with your cat in mind and allow your pet to see out and sit in comfort.

I think if I lived in a busy city centre these would be my first choice
as I would be able to carry Little Mo close to my body under my arm,
which would be great when standing in crowds.
Sleeping
Pods – We wanted to mention this type of carrier, as we know
that many cats associate their carrier with a nasty trip to the vets.
However these sleeping pod carriers can be used as very comfortable
beds on a regular basis. This enables your cat to get used to them so
that when they do have to take a trip, it is not so traumatic. Anyway
we think they are a great idea, especially for very nervous cats.
Cat
Cages – If you show your cat, you will need to have a cat cage
where your cat can sit all day at the event. Space is essential not
only for the cat’s comfort but also for easy viewing. These particular
cages come with little hammocks for the cat to sit in and a nylon easy
clean cover for that little bit of privacy and style.
