cat carrier, blue

When we adopted out cat, we didn’t get a new cat carrier. We still have the carrier from our previous cat, who lived a good, long life. But we’ve been taking our current cat to the vet using the same old cat carrier. It’s a hard case, and I’d always put something soft inside for him, but it wasn’t his carrier. It was a hand-me-down.

I had been thinking about getting a new cat carrier, one specifically for this cat, so it could be his. I saw this one and liked it a lot. The sides and ends are mesh, so he can see and smell what’s around him, but I don’t have to worry about his seeing a squirrel and using his big zoom energy to chase it up a tree before I can react. This carrier comes with a soft mat inside, and both ends zip open as well as the top, so there are options to pulling him out.

The whole thing is collapsible, which is great for storage. But I can’t put this one away yet. It’s the new nap spot. I have the sides zipped open, so he can get in and out as he pleases, but he definitely knows that this carrier is his. I’m hoping that will give him some peace of mind at his next visit to the vet.

I love that this is soft-sided, with a shoulder strap, so you can carry it over a shoulder or use the handles on top. It’s sturdy, I love the blue color, and it must be comfortable because he is currently curled into a ball napping hard in that carrier. He is happy to have his own carrier. I am happy he has his own carrier. And I am happy that he is happy. I am thrilled that this new cat carrier is such a success with the guy whose opinion of it matters the most.
