For transporting or just for cat to sleep in - in new home?

Swindons not far from me!

 

[Becks&Riley]

for just transprting her in lol she wuldnt stay in it longer than she had 2 i know my raegan LOL

ohh transporting should be ok, i thought you meant at home.....does it have a door you can shut? if not then i doubt very much she will stay in it longer than a minute!!! if yes then it should be fine...

 

[Becks&Riley]

yeh haha it has a zip up door lol
raegan wuld never ever go in something like that if she got the choice
she sleeps on a blanket on the end of the sofa!! lol

personally i would say that was unsuitable for transporting a cat in, especailly if she is going in a car. Cats can get very stressed, and i have seen them rip through fabric like that, if you consider that their claw and teeth are very sharp.
If she managed to get out of there whilst you were driving you could have a potentially very dangerous situation, as she would go to the darkest place either under a seat or at worst under your driving feet.
and then wehen you opent he dorr she could make a dash for it an you would lose your cat.
Personally i would recommend a ridgid plastic carrier, (cardboard ones are just as useless!)

Also if something falls on the cat in that carrier it doesn look very sturdy to me.

Good luck

I have one of those and i would never transport a cat in it, they are very flimsy and wouldnt take much for a frantic cat to scratch and tear apart, but they do like to sleep in it.
