Kittens 'n Things

If you’re thinking about getting your kitty from “here to there” you’ll want to give serious consideration to the “material and construction” of the “transport vehicle!”

Although a “cardboard” carrier might be your first choice, perhaps because of cost and ease-of-use, think about what could happen to that carrier on a long trip.

Or, over an extended period of general use and time.

As in, bored kitty or angry kitty = more (ventilation) holes or chewed up, torn apart carrier.

Thus perhaps enabling kitty to make a mad dash escape from his confines. (Worse case scenario, of course!)

While a “cloth carrier” could be a fine selection, it may also pose a problem to clean and to keep clean, especially if kitty has an unexpected accident on the way to anywhere.

And once an odor “like that” gets into cloth, it’s often difficult to be rid of.

The plastic carrier is sturdy, (mostly) easily cleaned, and has good ventilation.

Regardless of the carrier-type you choose, make sure there is plenty of “grow room” in the carrier.

For instance, “kitty” kitties in a carrier are much smaller than “full-grown house cats” kitties.

And while the carrier fit kitty when you first got her, after living with you for five or six months, she’s probably grown enough that she may no longer fit your first choice for a carrier.

Yours in moving your cat along,

P.S. Here are a few carrier types you might consider.
