Great for kitty transpo
I had to recently transport my kitty (12 lbs) through the airport and this carrier was fantastic. She had never flown before and I think the way this carrier was made helped TONS.The inside isn’t super fluffy but it’s very soft. It’s way more roomy than I anticipated (see photos) and opening and closing the expansion part was really easy. Also getting her inside was literally easier than any carrier than I’ve ever experienced. You have multiple options to get them inside (side and top), zippers are sturdy. I really think the front window helped her anxiety, helping her feel less trapped. I also didn’t worry about her being able to breathe inside as there are multiple vents. I was carrying this on my front, book bag on my back and the straps were relatively comfy and sturdy. It’s very light for how sturdy it is. It fit perfect under Southwest seats (also see pic).

Compared multiple bags – chose this one – glad we did
There is a lot to like about this carrier. We read the reviews before purchasing and only bought (2) bags with 5 stars to compare and ultimately choose between. This is the one we kept. We have a 15lb chunky cat. We wanted a back pack style, so my daughter could move through the airport with a carryon bag and a cat easily when flying alone. There was plenty of space for him. He had enough room to be comfortable laying down when the bag was sitting upright. Even though there was less “floor space” than a typical over the shoulder soft carrier when the bag is upright, it was a smoother walk for him, since he road on her back rather than bumping along at her side & the large round (and low) mesh gave him plenty of view and air laying down. When sitting up, the bag had an amazing amount of space. It also has a mesh zipper section, so when he sits up, he still has plenty of view, air, & an exceptional amount of space. It has an additional “pop out” room that is all mesh. The designers of this bag really focused on kitty comfort, so as a result of the mesh windows (which provided great airflow & visual access) there weren’t pockets, but my daughter actually used the “pop out” zipper section as a pocket and was able to take his treats, his meds, rubber gloves, an extra piddle pad, and handiwipes. We examined the seams. Although time will tell if it holds up, it seems to be well made. The padded shoulder straps were very comfortable. The final deciding factor was that this backpack had both the chest strap and the lower hip/waist strap. Our daughter said that it distributed the weight well on her body, so she didn’t have to lean forward & also helped support the bag, so our hefty cat didn’t end up sagging or the bag collapsing. It went on the plane and under the seat just fine laying down (which, when laid on its back has as much room as any over the shoulder bag for his comfort on the flight. He was so comfortable in his travel carrier, that he sat up and gave himself a bath while at the airport. Anyone with a cat knows that won’t happen unless the cat feels comfortable and secure.

Best cat backpack on the market!
My cat and I absolutely love this backpack!I’ve tried the bubble brand (which works great but lacks proper ventilation for the summer months) and the Lekeresie (had a bar pressing on my lower back which is a no go for hikes)This one is foldable; easy to store when not in use. It’s incredibly sturdy when fully assembled, with the back extension capable of holding itself up on its own.There are 5 different entry points (the small side circle is her favorite choice of entry)There’s so much ventilation. It’s even equipped with two sturdy removable floor pads that are covered in a soft fleece material.It’s very comfortable to walk her around in. She’s about 12lbs and this backpack supports her weight effortlessly. She’s got plenty of room and I have yet to experience any lower back pain.She voluntarily sleeps and plays in it all the time and comes running whenever she hears me moving it. 10/10 recommend!

Exactly what you need!
I spent over a month preparing to purchase a new cat carrier. I chose this one because it is soft and collapses for storage/cleaning and has flexibility if you need to take kitty as a carry-on for a flight. It expands, it has at least 3 different sturdy zipper entrances, its breathable with good quality mesh and breathing holes, and the kitty has a place to clearly view from the little window. I like how its easy to carry on my back or chest when kitty needs comforting. Its also sturdy enough for an anxious cat to scratch up the insides and it still keeps them safely inside on a car ride! This works great for us and kitty feels safe and wants to stay inside of it to nap.

Alles bestens

We leave it on the floor with one of the entrances open when it is not being used and the cats go inside it during the day and spend quite some time there.
