Catit Cabrio Cat Carrier, Blue-Gray, 41372

I’m a retired CVT of almost a decade and a half, so I’ve seen just about every regular and out-there carrier you can probably imagine. This carrier is every clinic staffs’ dream, not to mention how spacious it is inside so my cats get to ride in total comfort. At any vet appointment, the top opens one or both sides to easily help with even the scared-iest of kitties, which helps vet staff get to them MUCH more gently and easily too! I feel like this was a steal for having my cats ride safely in luxury and vet staff able to access them safely and easily without disassembling my entire carrier or scruffing to pull out the front gate. Even I can carrier our 16lb cat comfortably with the shoulder strap and a hand on the handle to stabilize while able to use my cane! I tell everyone I can about it~!

This is a sturdy carrier and the fact it can open up from the top helps greatly when I need to put my stubborn boy in the carrier. He hates to be put in a cat carrier and will fight me to not go in. So I can open it wide from the top to drop him in. The only two downsides are that sometimes the doors don’t close perfectly so take your time to put the doors together properly and make sure the locks are snapped shut. It isn’t hard but if you rush to close it sometimes the doors don’t line up properly. The second is Watch out for your cats tail or paws when closing the top portion if you don’t pay attention a tiny paw or in my case his tail kept the doors from closing. Now let’s be completely honest. Most cats hate going into a carrier and will put up a fight so they are going to grab onto anything they can to keep you from getting them into it but so far this has been the easiest one to Wrangell my wild boy into and there has been no injuries for the both of us. Trust me when I tried putting him into a normal carrier with only a front opening no amount of cat gymnastics would help get him in and I would end up having a few new scratches to show for it. The wide top opening is what makes it manageable.

My cats never want to come out of the carrier when we get to the vet, so this is perfect. I open the top and can pick up the cat. Easy. Pros and cons: I did have an issue with it coming open with the cat inside once. Make sure you push each piece into place very hard, because it’s very easy to not secure it properly. I haven’t had anymore issues with it opening. I bought this on sale and would say it’s worth it for the sale price, but maybe not for the original price. The size is good for typical small-medium cats. But if your cat is large like Maine Coon, you’ll need something larger. My roommate has a very large and overweight cat and this is not big enough for him. The carrier feels cheap. I don’t think it is. But it feels like it could come apart when I’m carrying it. It’s very lightweight and I think that’s why I feel this way. When assembling the carrier, you push the pieces together and they click into place. It feels to me like they could come out of place. I would prefer something that secures differently. All in all, I really do love this carrier. I don’t think it’s cheaply made. I don’t think my cat can escape as long as the pieces are secure. But triple check them. I leave the carrier out and feed my scared cat in it and he’s not afraid of it at all. I only rated 4 stars because I think the original price is too high for what it is.

I'm not only a cat owner, I also foster kittens for a rescue. I'm not saying this because I think it makes me special - it just means I've seen lots and lots of different carriers over the years. This one was a surprise, and not in a good way. I bought this for my daughter, who brings her cat home from college almost weekly. He hates being in a carrier, and has learned that he can take his claws and rip right through mesh. She needed something with no mesh at all, but also comfortable with lots of ventilation and spaces to see to help make the experience less stressful for him. I remembered seeing this carrier in an ad on social media and it looked perfect! All plastic, large front viewing window, a shoulder strap, and totally adorable, too! I was really excited to get it for her, and when it was delivered yesterday I immediately set to work assembling it. Wow. I set to work, and worked, and worked, and worked. This thing DOES NOT go together. If you are lucky enough to get one piece on, it will pop out of line as soon as you add another. I watched the instruction video from Catit, and they make it look so easy! It took me an hour to get both side pieces on and lined up so that the top would close. Then I moved on to the front/door piece, and only one side actually clipped in when the top was attached. I could only get the front on securely by knocking the top out of line. I removed the door and lined up the top again, and again the door wouldn't clip on - one side came right out with any pressure. Then I learned that even when the top is aligned and clipped on, as soon as you open the carrier from the top, it all goes out of whack and can't be closed correctly again. Start Over. Get the sides all aligned and closed, and try to work on the door again, and it all pops off. Start Over. Just by picking up the carrier, you can feel the two side pieces moving independent of each other, jumping out of line again. Start Over. I'm not sure how secure the plastic "clamps" for the sides are, or how well the plastic door latch works, because I was never able to get the thing fully and safely assembled to that point! This is, without a doubt, the most disappointing and frustrating cat purchase I've ever made. This is going back today - just as soon as I can get it in the box. You'd think that would be easy considering how impossible it was to assemble, but no. Now one side piece is actually clipped in to one side of the door and won't come out, so it won't fit back in the box. It's ridiculous. I guess I get to spend the next hour working on it some more. My advice to anyone that was like me a few days ago, looking at this super cute carrier and thinking it was a bit pricey but so cute and your cat is worth it.... Your cat is worth more. Trust me, and trust all the other reviews here. This is flimsy, never fully goes together, and it's not something you would ever consider putting your precious pet in.

Génial boîte à chat et bien pour emmener partout

Świetny transporter. Dużo miejsca, możliwość podania wody i jedzenia. Sporo otworów wentylacyjnych. Niestety połowa daszku jest krzywa i zamykanie jest uciążliwe.

Die Box ist super. Genug Platz und einfach zu öffnen. Von vorne oder von oben. Sie ist super stabil und meine Katzen können dank des großen Fensters alles beobachten (trotzdem mögen sie den Tierarzt nicht) aber wenigstens ist die Fahr dorthin etwas erträglicher ;-) Der Versand war auch top. Danke.

Viene desmontado y hay que montarlo con cuidado, ya que es de plástico duro, y si se encaja mal o se fuerza, se pueden romper las piezas y ya no hay arreglo. Pero una vez montado, es una pasada. Hago viajes largos, por lo que no me importa que sea un poco más grande que los normales, pq así el animalico se puede mover para cambiar de postura durante el trayecto sin pasarse todo el viaje encajado. Tiene muy buena ventilación, y el que los cuencos para comida y agua se puedan poner y quitar sin necesidad de abrirlo está muy bien cuando estás en viaje. Como se puede abrir por arriba o por el frente, no hay que estar esperando a que se decida a entrar: le puedes meter cómodamente en un momentin

Let's get something out of the way: This is for smaller pets. Cats, small dogs, rabbits, max 25 pounds, I think. This is for the puppy, but not the full grown dog, if you've got a medium to large breed. This isn't a downside, it's just a specification. Also, don't ask me why, but the Blue-Grey model seems to sell for less than the Turquoise or Cherry Red models. They're identical other than colour, but the Blue-Grey sells for less from the same dealer. Now... To the features, performance, and rating... This is a Cadillac or Rolls Royce... an old Hudson fully restored to its factory beauty, with every line, detail, and chrome accent polished to perfection. Every line is perfect, every aesthetic design crafted with thought and purpose... It's not just some pretty box, every slope, every slant, every curve, every bump, and every vent, all serve a purpose to the overall design. It can be padlocked, but the padlock holes are discretely integrated into the body so it isn't obvious it is meant to be locked. The handle to open and close the front is solid, and nested into the door, so even the most clever of animals cannot get their way to open their own door. There is a food and water bowl that you can put in the front, and is completely removable for cleaning, as well as last minute removal in case your vet recommends a fasting. It is held in place by a door, and even if the pet is inside, and the door is left open, they cannot reach around, by any means, to open the latch to get out. The design is pretty flawless. The front is transparent, so the animal doesn't see themselves as confined in a cage, there are ventilation areas completely surrounding the enclosure, so it will never feel like the pet will overheat or suffocate. And, of course, the most amazing feature of all: It has two latch points to open the TOP of the carrier to place your pet in, and take them out again. No more struggling to convince them to enter the dark little box, you can just open it up, drop them in, and close the clamshell design so they can't get out. This is brilliant, and I am told this is the second version of this carrier they've designed this way, but in all honesty this is the perfect pet carrier. This company designs most of their products for Cats, but I'm positive larger versions of this would make them a mint for mid sized and large breed dogs as well. This is how you show your Pet you love them. A stress-free, easy and comfortalbe carrier they won't stress over using. NOT ADVERTIZED FEATURE: The entire front door comes off. The manual claims the door simply stays open, with food and water bowls ready, to use as a cat bed. The truth is, the door just lifts off when it's open. The box, alone, is easily used as this supposed Cat Bed, or Cubby Hole, for the cat to use. This isn't just a carrier, It doubles as Cat Furniture the rest of the time, without any need to change how your pet already has their routine. If it wasn't for the fact that I only have one Cat left, I would buy more of these, for more pets. I may even get them to gift a local Animal Hospital for their needs, I don't know. But this is the greatest carrier ever made. Every other top-loading, or easy-to-use carrier is little more than a mo-ped, sitting next to this masterpiece of design and efficiency. This really is the Cadillac or Rolls Royce of Carriers, even if others come more expensive or in different sizes. This is the one that blows them all away.
