I'll start with the only review that matters, my cat's: he LOVES it. He is not a cat who likes carriers. No matter how long I leave them out for him to explore, the most he gives them is a sniff. I put this carrier out and within an hour he was curled up in it. For the rest of the evening/night he kept going back in to hang out and nap. I'm amazed. It's definitely a keeper and the one he's been needing.My review: very nice carrier. Probably the first that I've ordered that is true to size. Nice material and quality. Very spacious for my big kitty without being obnoxiously large and hard to carry. It's also lightweight and sturdy. I like that the handles can be expanded to a shoulder strap rather than an additional strap. I appreciate how the ties to hold back the curtains work rather than having to roll it up a specific way for it to attach. The only thing that I think would make it better was if there were fabric covering the poles inside the carrier. But genuinely a lovely carrier that I'm excited about and would recommend.
