So, I have a foldable cat carrier that is humongously huge -- but frankly, it's not the sturdiest beast around.
I didn't fancy driving 1k miles with 3 cats, where I have to worry they take the carrier apart.
I was planning to put Pixie in one, and the other two in the other (solid) one.
But the big carrier is a pain in the whatsit, because it's really hard to secure in the car, due to the size. Now, Pixie travels very well just in a basket and a safety belt, but I just rather not risk such a long drive that way (or only part of the time).
Anyway.
Zooplus in Germany came along with a foldable, solid side, cat carrier that was VERY reasonable. (€19.99 atm)
This is how it arrived. That's what it packs down to.
That's what's inside.
The top and bottom part zip onto the middle, self contained, part.
Livvy had to check it out immediately (well, after Pixie checked it out)
I've taken the front door off for now so they can explore it unhindered.
Livvy has basically moved in.
I really like this carrier. It's sturdy but light, plenty of room for a Sphynx, who can stand up in it, and as an added benefit, I discovered the fleece basket pad I knitted fits perfectly into the bottom of it.
It doesn't smell of plastic, either.
It should easily fit onto a car seat. And you can access it either from the front, or unzip the top. The sides stay up nicely even with the top completely unzipped.
Inside measurements are L 40 (16") x W 30 (12") x ca. H 25 cm (10")
Outside measurements are L 42 (17") x W 32 (13") x H 30 cm (12")
Folded: 17" x 13" x 4.3" (11cm)
Pixie has also decided she kinda likes it.
All in all, I'm pretty happy with it.
The first test will be on the 5th April, when everyone has to go for vaccinations.
Will report back how it holds up.
