Review on 🐾 Comfortable Soft-Side Pet Carrier Backpack by Petsfit - Ideal for Traveling, Hiking, Camping with Small Dogs, Cats, and Rabbits - Great Ventilation by Heather Welsh

Although this backpack style carrier is a bit cramped for my 14 lb cat, she could roll over and sit in it for long periods too. as if a small window were in the expanded position. My kitten HATES carrier bags and keeps crying from the moment I put her in the carrier until I take her out. After initially howling, he calmed down. I could press my hand against the mesh pad so he could lean against it, I could rub his jaw through the mesh, and he could snuggle up to me through the mesh once we got to the vet. The kitten was calm during the long wait for test results and remained calm during the drive home. And no, he wasn't put down. Although he desperately wanted to get out of the backpack, once we were inside he couldn't hide under the bed or run away from me like he used to do after a vet visit. I don't know what combination of variables made his time on this transfer that much less stressful (for both of us), but I agree. The main reason I bought this stretcher was because I had back surgery a few months ago. and they are discouraged from carrying a traditional plastic carrier bag with a 14-pound cat twirling inside. The backpack is comfortable, the straps are easily adjustable. The rigid base makes it easy to place the backpack with the kitten on a table or other raised surface, with your back to it to put your hands through the straps. This product is advertised as suitable for pets up to 15 pounds with the nuance of measuring the pet from the neck to the base of the tail first. Technically, my pet is the right size, but it's a bit tight. Cats under 12 pounds will probably be most comfortable in this carrier, especially if they stay in it for several hours.
