Cat Carriers in generalNewest Review: ... in one of these for a long journey - no room to "swing a cat" - excuse the pun! The new shopping bag type, again, are small, and do not have much of a window for your cat to look out. Look at it with a cat's eyes - how would YOU like to be shut up in a dark bag for a few hours, being bumped around in a car, not being able to see where you are going? No thanks!

There are many types of cat carrier on the market; some are not worth buying and others are a MUST. The cardboard type are a waste of time. First of all, they are not strong enough.

If you have a cat, then a cat carrier is an essential piece of kit be it for the trip to the vet or going away for a weekend or whatever. Before my cat had her kittens, I left her at a friends for over the Christmas period as I live alone. I stayed at my parents and couldn't take her because of their dog (well, it's mine really but couldn't take her with me). I was lucky that she sat on my knee all the way but not all cats like being shut in a car on a long journey - some panic and try to escape and would cause an accident (I know how well my cat behaves or I would have had to get a carrier anyway). Another draw back to having a cat in a car is ... Read the complete review
