Cats like to stay at home, but sometimes you have to take it out. For example, you have to take it to the vet. You want to take it to a friends’ gathering or on a family trip. Then you need cat carriers so as to make it convenient to carry your cat and make your cat feel comfortable and secure in a strange place.

Part 1. Things to Consider Before Buying A Cat Carrier

  • How large the cat carrier should be?

Cat carriers should be 1.5 times the size of the cat so that there is enough space for your pet to lie down, stand up and turn, but not too large to make them feel insecure.

  •  What should the cat carrier be made of?

Taking your cat out requires the cat carrier to be durable and sturdy with large weight capacity. Therefore, a nylon or plastic carrier is favored to make sure that the bottom does not sag.

whereas, cardboard boxes are not recommended because cats love scratching by nature. They can easily destroy the box and would possibly run away from the broken box. In addition, the cardboard box is not waterproof. Once it rains or the cat pees, cardboard boxes will get damaged.

If you have to use a cardboard box, find a one, put a thick blanket or towel at the bottom, and cut a few holes for your cat to breathe.

  •  Choose a well-ventilated cat carrier.

The best cat carrier should be equipped with openings or windows on both sides in order to prevent the cat from overheating or suffocating inside the carrier.

  •  Choose a carrier that can open from the top to make your cat easier to get in and out. The vet can also check the cat from the top without taking it out.
