I purchased this backpack carrier for my indoor cat, soon to take her first flight. Although we haven't yet used it for travel we have been acclimating to it by taking short outdoor walks (much to the amusement of my friends and neighbors). My cat weighs 6 lbs., fits perfectly, is able to move around and change positions, and much to my surprise seems quite content. The roll down flap is a great way to add a sense of security and I'm sure we'll use it while traveling. The fact that the carrier converts easily from being carried by the handle, shoulder strap, or backpack straps was a definite factor in making this purchase. It is a well thought-out carrier and we can't wait to fly! The only thing that might possibly be missing is a compartment to carry snacks and a small food/water dish; however, never having traveled with a pet I'm not sure how security would handle such an addition. I've also "slip-covered" the bottom with a soft fabric that can be removed for laundering."..." Read more
