Any cat adopter knows that many felines don’t exactly enjoy when you ask them to hop in the cat carrier.
Whether it’s the fear that you’re about to whisk them off to the vet, or just the idea of staying in a small, enclosed area for a while, tempting or tricking your cat to actually get into the cat carrier can be a trial that often leaves you with actual scars–if not emotional ones.
But don’t despair!
These days, there are cat carriers on the market that have been specially designed to appeal to your feline and offer a higher level of traveling comfort. Here are five cat carriers that will make even the crankiest kitty feel more comfortable.
1. A Soft Sided Cat Carrier
If your cat is all about comfort and loves to lounge around, consider investing in a soft sided cat carrier.
Petmate’s take on the cat carrier features double entry doors and mesh sides so that your inquisitive kitty can watch the world go by from the safety of the carrier.
2. A Jet-Set Cat Carrier

The cat carrier has also been approved for use on a wide variety of airlines.
3. A Car Seat Cat Carrier
If driving around is your primary way of getting your feline to the local vet, a cat carrier modified to work on car seats is a must.

If you’re traveling by airplane and need to bring your cat along, it’s vital that your cat carrier is approved by the airline you’ve booked tickets with.
Pet Magasin’s soft-sided cat carrier folds flat when not in use, and a number of airlines have already approved it for flight. Although, always call and double check before traveling.
5. A Deluxe Cat Carrier
