Review on 🐱 Vceoa Carriers Soft-Sided Pet Carrier for Cats: Comfortable and Convenient Travel Solution for Feline Friends by Adam Grady

So I haven't used it for air travel yet but if something goes wrong I will update my review but I already love this airline. Our cat, Vladimir, is semi-outdoor – he loves to go indoors to cuddle and play, but only goes to the bathroom outside and is also a born killer, to say the least. He's killed a whole rabbit's nest with no shame and always keeps his claws razor sharp and hates being carried around. I was concerned about the first carrier I ordered because the review said her dog chewed it through and while you might think a cat can't do that much damage, Vlad's claws are no joke and he managed also to rip a hole through a fat cat feeding. Bag with only teeth when he was angry that I hadn't fed him yet. So I took a chance and canceled this order and got this one and I'm so glad I did. I haven't put it in yet (I'm putting it off until the very last second for obvious reasons) but I can already say this bag is built to last. It has metal supports on the side edges and entrance, and the canvas sides are very thick and rigid. The mesh itself is strong too - I knew I wouldn't be able to get around the mesh in all straps so I expected to have to buy extra thick mesh to make the sides more secure but the mesh is thick. The connections between the holes are also wide, so while there are still holes to breathe, it's not just any tulle tutu I expected. I can always add more stitches because Vlad can be a determined kitty at times, but I'll think twice and put him in there first to test it out. The straps are also good. I saw a review on the first bag I ordered that said it had a little structure and was more like a bag that I knew would drive Vlad crazy, but this one is almost like a mini suitcase . The handles are long enough to carry it low to the ground and avoid problems, and also long enough to loop around the handle of my suitcase when I want to carry it on top. I also like the adjustable long strap which I wasn't expecting. I probably won't use a long strap alone, but I will probably carry a shoulder bag with a long strap and drape the short straps over my arms for extra support and weight distribution. I also like the hard floor. The piece that you can put in the bottom pocket under the fleece layer is definitely strong enough not to sag under the pet's weight and is not flimsy cardboard like some carrier bags. The fleece layer is really good too, love the lining so my cat doesn't have to sleep on the hard plastic the whole flight and the fleece layer is actually a zipped cover which is great because I can wash it later. I really like the strap inside with a mini buckle, I don't have a leash for my cat but I love it. So if I want to open the top to give him a little treat or scratch his head, he can't fly that out of an aircraft carrier, he'll be pinned. The strap is also long enough that he can still walk around and get comfortable if he wants to. The little side pocket is nice too, they really use every aspect of this carrier to make it great. The size is big too - it fits under an airplane seat (my girlfriend's dad works at Delta so she knows the measurements and told me it would fit easily) but it's also big enough to carry my cat, not flattened. has just enough height to get up and walk around a bit, roll around a bit to get comfortable and plenty of room to sleep. One more thing about the mesh, as it's dense and thick, it darkens the carry a bit, which I really like. I know many pets feel calmer when the lights are dimmed and this helps them sleep and I think this will help protect them from the hustle and bustle around them. All zippers appear to be well made, as do the strap clips. All in all a great tote bag, especially for the price! It's only $4 more than the other clumsy airline I canceled and it was a huge upgrade for such a small difference in price. Save yourself the headache and buy this. I'm flying out on December 19th, 2020 so I'll update this if something crazy happens and my cat manages to rip this thing or something, but I doubt it will happen , lol.
