Review on 🐾 PetAmi Deluxe Small Cat and Dog Backpack Carrier, Puppies, Reinforced Frame, Ventilated Design, Dual Entry Points, Safety Cushion Back Support, for Travel, Hiking, Outdoor Activities by Cindy Lloyd

As soon as I opened the package and installed the backpack, my kitty jumped in and took up a comfortable position. Six months later, he's well on his way to becoming an Adventure Cat! I didn't want to spend a lot on a backpack as I wasn't sure how well it would handle it. I'm so happy I bought this. We've been using it regularly - more than 2 times a week - since we got it and so far the staying power has been very good. I appreciate that it has a chest and waist strap to stabilize and distribute the weight as I have back and neck issues (and the kitty is now bigger and heavier). There is a reflective stripe on the mesh window, although I wish there were more of these on different parts of the pack for better visibility in the dark. Each side has a large mesh pocket; I keep his retractable leash in one when he goes for a walk. The zip pocket is large enough to store some essentials and extras. I start training him with the zip window open so he can sit on my shoulder while walking. It's good to have a short safety leash in the pack, but I wish it was a little longer so she could comfortably move up to rest her bum on the pack and the front on my shoulder. It's too small for him to do comfortably. One of the best things are the clips that lock the zippers in place. It helps me feel safe knowing that if one of the zippers somehow starts to come loose, there won't be any accidents; The clamps only allow for a small puncture when that happens, barely enough for him to put his paw through. I leave my backpack on the ground next to one of his cat towers with the zippered window open. He loves his backpack so much that we often see him snoozing in it during the day. Turned out to be a good buy!
