Cat Carriers
From LoveToKnow Cats
Cat carriers aren't just a luxury item for your cat. If you're planning on transporting your kitty around, a comfortable carrier is a veritable necessity.
Concerns Regarding Cat Carriers
Ever since celebrities started toting their pets around as if they were children, the world of pet carriers has blossomed. There was a time when pet owners were facing solely practical options where carriers were concerned.
Your main considerations would include:
- Airline Approved Carriers
- Comfort Factors
- Carrier Weight
- Carrier Size
These days, most standard pet carriers already have built in travel requirements. For a slight increase in price compared to the average carrier at Petco, you can purchase a luxury carrier that will dazzle the eye and console your travel-anxious pet.
Going Luxury
Many average pet owners still scoff at the idea of sweatering up their cat for the winter. Items like kitty rhinestone collars and kitty claw polish are generally regarded as frills, but when it comes to cat carriers, your cat will notice the difference between your standard cramped carrier and a full-on luxury tote. Most humans would prefer to fly first class rather than coach, and if you think your cat can't tell the difference between a plush silk lining and the static thrill of wool, then you are sorely mistaken.
Travel Considerations
Your first consideration when purchasing cat carriers should revolve around the destination to which you will be taking your feline friend. If the extent of your traveling involves simple vet visits, brief road trips, or events along these lines, then a box-type carrier will suit your pet's needs.
If you are planning on taking long flights with kitty onboard, even sitting next to you, then you will be choosing quite a different carrier from the style that would be used when your cat flies in the cargo hold.
Finally, if you are especially attached to kitty, and your feline friend will be accompanying you on shopping trips, midday outings, etc., you will be looking at carriers and pet bags, the sort that are used for transporting small dogs around town.
The Top Designers
When it comes to the best cat carriers, most of these products are the same as those used for luxury inclined dogs. There are many recognizable names in the pet carrier industry.
Pet Flys
If you are looking for luxury cat carriers that won't require a second home mortgage to purchase, then Pet Flys has many items that will fulfill your aesthetic desires and your cat's comfort needs. These colorful and fun carriers are highly acclaimed by celebrities and socialites alike, and most importantly, they are 100 percent airline approved.
Although they're not the most convenient mode of transportation for mall trips, these carriers are ideal for those pesky veterinarian visits and road trips that can really rile up your pet. Available in several sizes, each model is designed with a specific theme in mind, so you can purchase a carrier particularly designed to match your pet's personality.
The Paw Princess carrier comes in a delightful bubble gum pink, and it is a surefire way to get kitty noticed at cat shows. More notably, this product also gives you the option of purchasing matching clothing accessories for your cat.
Many people are under the assumption that cats cannot wear dresses and sweaters, but anyone who has attended a CFA or TICA show understands that your cat suffers the same fashion needs as any fluffy breathing entity. Take the splurge with Pet Flys and start your kitty down the road of social significance.
Celltei
If you're looking for cat carriers that offer all the flair and luxury of a designer handbag, then the Celltei Precious Tote-o-Pet Brocade Pet Carrier is exactly what you're seeking.
Owning a possibly portable pet doesn't mean you have to sacrifice all your fashion glamour. This darling carrier offers many exciting luxury features for both you and kitty, such as an inside security leash, a cell phone pocket, and a waterproof floor tray set.
The most striking feature of this pet carrier is the amazingly silky Asian-inspired external print that is said to mirror the traditional Chinese dress of a post-wedding bride. Cat carriers such as these are a legend in the making.
