How to choose the right cat carrier
For the convenience and safety of travel, you should choose a quality carrier that meets the following requirements:
- good ventilation;
- made of safe, non-toxic materials – if it has a pronounced chemical odor, refuse to buy it and choose products from another manufacturer;
- a rigid bottom – cats are very uncomfortable and restless in a sagging cloth bag without a solid footing;
- a window in the bag – it's important for your cat to see where they're going and what's going on around them – sitting in complete darkness in a closed space will be very stressful for them;
- sturdy – your cat needs to be as light but stable as possible. A frightened or angry cat will make a big effort to break free;
- secure locks – look for lockable enclosures as cats tend to open zippers and run away on their own.
How to decide on size
For the comfort of the cat and its owner it is important to choose the right size container. The lighter and smaller it is, the more comfortable it is for the owner, and the roomier it is, the more comfortable it is for the cat.
For short journeys you need a carrier in which the cat can lie down freely. If you only plan to go occasionally to the veterinarian near your home, you may choose a small and stylish carrier bag.
For long trips, choose the size of the container so that the cat can stand up to his full height and turn around. It should also fit a water bowl and a bowl for food: they can be attached to the door. If there will be an air flight, choose a container the size of which corresponds to the airline requirements. Its width should be twice the width of the cat's shoulders and length equal to its length plus half the length of its front paw.
