I agree with you I am sure they will be able to travel together still,I won't say a word to them,I am a bit mean at work though because when we have all the cats in for their ops & they are sitting all innocent in their pens I do luv to call out " Balls Away Boys",just can't help myself......
Our breeder told us to go for a plastic carrier but I thought a canvas one would be more comfy for Teddy - when we pick him up we have a two hour train journey to get through and I don't want him to get bashed around in a plastic one! What to do....eek!
I drove poor Jones all the way from Northumberland down to Tonbridge (280 miles!!!) in the Ferplast carrier, which has plastic sides and if anything I found that he just curled up and snuggled against the side, so wobbling around a little bit didn't bother him!
I would say though that if you're going on the train, the rigidity of the plastic sides might offer a bit of pretection from accidental bumps, or things getting jabbed against the carrier. I don't think there's a big risk of Teddy being thrown inside the carrier either way, I imagine he'll just anchor himself to the floor like Jones did!
Thanks for all your suggestions. I do like the idea of a canvas one as it's easy to fold up and put away when I'm not using it, which will be most of the time. I only need it to take him to the vet now and again or the groomer now.
I have a canvas one (for the same reasons - folds flat, easy to carry over your arm, etc) but I also have two Cargo Cabrios which all three of mine love (you can only fit one cat in each tho - you could get two in the canvas one - assuming your back can take the strain of hefting it up! :rofl:)

I really like the look of the sleepypod but I'm worried that it won't be big enough - they're an expensive purchase if the cats outgrow them. How do yours fit at the moment? I really need to get a new carrier - I've got one the same size as Rachel and Jackie's and it'll easily fit both mc's fully grown. But once they're both in there it's a mare to lift by myself! And when one's in on their own they look swamped.
That's really helpful to know, thanks. I've tried every conceivable search parameter in google to see if an adult mc could comfortably fit in a sleepy pod and had absolutely no luck whatsoever! At the risk of being cheeky, if you ever have an opportunity to snap a quick photo it would be most helpful :smile:
The sleepy pod does look good but quite expensive for what I need it for. I did like the look of this one on Amazon too but it's not cheap either. I think the material ones look more comfortable though. If I were doing a lot of travelling with Simba think I would go for the sleepy pod. Love the pictures
