Highly recommend for long car rides
I bought two of these carriers for my three kitties for our 15 hours move from South Carolina to Connecticut. I bought them a few months before the big move and set them up in the living room so they could get used to them. Then ended up loving them and I’d find them asleep inside and playing inside them. Some people mentioned in the reviews that they are not as sturdy, as they are made to be collapsible for easy storage. However, the only time they collapsed was when my cats were playing in or near them and ran and jumped on top. As far as being in the car, they stayed up. It’s also very convenient that they fold up to store. I was able to fit a small litter box (also bought on amazon, they were small biodegradable few times use litter boxes) in each carrier along with a cat bed. I had two of my cats in 1 and my other cat had her own since 3 in one carrier would have been too snug. I would say with the litter box and 2 cats there was plenty of room for them to sleep in their bed. If you only have 2 cats though it might be worth it to have each their own depending on the length of the drive. But it’s not really like they will be playing inside of them so really having enough space for the litter box and bed is perfect. It’s also good to note that these carriers come with a waterproof lining that is removable. I put a water dish inside for the cats to drink and at one point it got knocked over but the mat caught the water so it didn’t leak onto my car seats. I originally planned on putting the carriers along the back row of my car on the seats but it turned out they were too long and we couldn’t even close the car door. We had to end up putting the whole back row seats down and setting the carriers up side by side rather than the long way. That worked out perfectly. These are definitely not to “carry” cats around in as they don’t have the stability of an actual carrier. But I highly recommend these for a long car drive. The cats were as comfortable as they could be and these made it much less stressful.

Working for my Kitten
I got a rescued kitten in October. I also work a few days a week and don’t feel he’s old enough to be left by himself for 8-10 hours. He also sleeps in it at night for the same reason… not old enough to wander around unattended.Within a day he had figured out the zippers. The fix for me was a small swivel hook, but small carabiner clip might work. The carabiner I had was too large and he was able to escape through even that small opening, thus the small swivel hook..Most times he goes right in when we get to the opening, not happy about it, but he does. A few times in the beginning I admit to having pushed him in and dodging those flailing claws to get him zipped up, but those times are long gone now. I guess it’s a matter of… look Mister, I don’t think you realize this but I’m the boss and this is YOUR room. lol Of course that was before I realized HE is the BOSS of the house…Within the first few days of having it, he jumped on it and of course it collapsed. You can’t have a fold up device if it won’t collapse. Did it scare him, lol , yes….. did it keep him from coming back to jump on it again, and again and again, NO. He finally learned his ‘bedroom’ was NOT a perch to jump on.I never thought about putting a litter box in it, but he’s only 6 months old and I shouldn’t have expected he could do a 9-10 hour stay and then turn around a few hours later and do an over night stay in it with perfection…. so yes, we had a little accident.The mat did not absorb all of the accident, which is how I discovered we had a little issue. Urine soaked through the bottom of the kennel. I’ll have to figure a way to clean that up and find him a small litter box because it’s not his fault he couldn’t wait any longer, it’s mommy’s for expecting too much from a little 6 month old baby.I’ve read the mat can be washed, so I’m glad to know that. I also read a comment about someone using baking soda to clean the main fabric. Hoping that will work. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind buying a second one and start out with a litter box inside it, but we’ll see if we can clean this one up first. I sometimes call him the Demon kitty because he’s all teeth and claws on my arms. lol . As far as durability, it’s held up to the demon kitty and the clasps I put on the zipper pulls have contained him, so I have no complaints and would probably invest in another should I need it. I even recommended to another new kitty owner.I haven’t had to travel any distance with him, so can’t speak for the travel useage, but see that others have. The only trips we’ve made have been to the vet less than 5 miles away and I got a small carrier for that. He travels well in the carrier and I suspect he would do well in his Bedroom (kennel).He even goes in now and plays a little bit from time to time I think for my purposes, it has been a good investment.

It helps but I thought it would be a little more stable and the material thicker, anyway helped me with my tiny kittens

Apenas llevo unas horas con el producto y superó mis espectatuvas.La tela se siente resistente incluso ya aguantó algunos arañazos (ojo, mi gatita no tiene las garras tan filosas porque le gusta escalar un muro de concreto), plegada es muy portable casi como llevar una laptop mediana de 14 pulgadas y no pesa casi nada. Desplegada es bastante grande, más de lo que esperaba, mi gato tiene tanto espacio que ni completamente estirada llega al largo de la casa (ojo 2, mi gata es adulta pero pequeña de tamaño, como del tamaño de un Pug).Apenas la abrí mi gatita se metió para curiosear y se llevó uno de sus peluches, ni siquiera tuve que usar catnip ni motivarla a entrar aún que es muuuuuy tímida
