This not only folds up small but it also cleans up well too. It’s breathable with a downside of not much view for your furry friend unless you travel with the tan cover flap left tucked at your backside. The applying the leash may make it a little difficult for them to get comfortable while travelling. It’s helpful when you intend to leave the side open so they can poke their head out. The position of the leash makes exiting a little more difficult. Aside from all that: I think it’s well worth it but it all depends on your needs.

Because of the height and size, this is a little awkward lifting up and using, but once you get over that, it worked fine. The backpack is a nice feature and made sure our feline new he was close to us, I think that helped with his anxiety.

Comfortable soft sided cat carrier is easy to set up, and the ultimate judge.. my cat, seemed to like it very much. The openings are secured by zippers, and it is a little taller than our traditional cat carrier, so I think they like that.

This cat carrier is trendy - and the cat, which is a mancoon, finds her new ride to be quite comfortable. The cat also has enough space to sit and lay down comfortably.There are numerous openings in the carrier which allow different ways for the cat to get inside of the carrier.There was no assembly required. It was as simple as taking it out of the packaging and zipping all the zippers. It is also easy to transport. You can wear this like a cross body, over your shoulder or with the handle.The zippers zip nicely and do not get stuck. There is also plenty of ventilation for the cat to breathe. The quality is very good - and so is the appearance.The cost for the carrier is very reasonable.

I like that this cat carrier is a bit more stylish than your standard pet carrier. The mesh windows are well constructed and sturdy enough to tolerate a slightly unhappy cat.In one photo, that is a 15+ lb. cat lying down in the carrier. She has plenty of room to stand up and turn around when it's fully zipped.The other photo has a 6 lb. cat curled up on one side. Clearly there is lots of room for cats to be comfortable while in the carrier.I plan on ordering a 2nd carrier for when I have to travel with both cats.

This bag is overall well designed. It is attractive and looks more like a traditional backpack than some of the weirder "bubble" designs out there. It is roomy enough for your average cat, offers good breathability, and you can close the front to keep your cat (or other small animal) less obvious and in more shade if you choose.You can access your pet from the front mesh, both side mesh panels or the top panel. I do wish there was a "door" or access point that was smaller (about arm size) so that you could reach in without risking your pet getting out accidentally. All the doors are quite large.While the materials are "OK" they are a little thin, so I would worry about the longevity of the backpack over time. Also it's not the most ergonomic or comfortable to wear, particularly when your cat repositions itself in the bag.It functions as intended and looks nice.

This is, beyond all doubt, the most stylish cat-carrier I have ever used or seen. It isn't cheaply made and it seems sturdy, without being heavy. One side has a nice little pocket for storage under the mesh window (the collapsible water bowl fits inside nicely) and the plush on the button feels nice, soft without seeming too delicate to survive cat-use. It has a surprising number and variety of openings for easy cat loading/unloading. It's maybe a little cramped for the lager of our two cats (21lbs), who was highly disinterested in entering it, even in pursuit of treats; but the average-sized cat went right in and seemed to have a comfortable amount of space inside. The zippers and handles felt a bit flimsy when I was first inspecting it, but they all seem to actually be sturdy enough when I actually used and lifted it (which was very reassuring!). It looks very well designed, with an eye for aesthetic detail.Using it was less impressive, unfortunately.Putting it on was awkward for both the cat and me, although I'm not sure how that could feasibly be improved, and may just be an inevitability of backpack-carriage design. My cat, alas, did NOT like being carried around that way, and made her distress loudly and enthusiastically known. (Upside of that is that I can confidently say that the carrier is indeed sturdy!) I'll see if I can get her used to it when the weather warms up (maybe by having my roommate lift it only my back, so there's less flopping around in the beginning) because it would be nice to take her out on walks with this, if she can learn to like it, as she is a cat who enjoys seeing the outside world, and she might enjoy this more than the leash we use for her now.I did not notice a problem with the carrier digging into my back the way other reviewers have, but with the way it rested against me, I can see where that very well could be a problem when conveying heavier cats for any length of time. (My 11.5 lb cat was comfortable to carry, aside from her squirming to get out.)For me, the chief issue with the carrier is that it seems a little too focused on Looking Stylish, to the detriment of its actual function. The top handles are not well-placed or braced enough to make them as usable as they ought to be, causing the carrier to squish inwards when lifted by the center handle and to tilt sideways when lifted by the secondary top handle. They can't be easily grasped together for increasing the wobbly stability, either. If the sides of the carrier had been made sturdier, possibly necessitating making the side-flap opening decorative instead, so that the carrier could be lifted from above instead of only really being usable by the back-straps, it would be ideal. That would make this a fully-functional (and very stylish!) cat-carrier rather than what it is now: a very pretty, limited-use carrier that seems best suited to taking casual walks with your cat, and little else. I certainly don't think we'll be making our vet visits in this!

The material of this backpack is a bit cheap looking and feeling in my opinion. The structure of it isn't very sturdy either. When putting it on, I had to tighten up the straps almost all the way to be able to comfortably carry my cat on my back, which made it really difficult to get off and put back on. I can see us using this as a carrier more than we'd use it as a backpack.
