Cat Carrier recommendations?

Hello everyone,

For those of you following my previous thread, after much searching and travelling I have finally found my dream kitten and will be picking it up very soon from the lovely breeder. I am now ready to do some serious kitty shopping, and was wondering if I could ask you all for your recommendations regarding cat carriers. I would like to get one which will last a good long time, and is suitable for longer car travel (breeder lives quite far away from my home). I have seen the large poly-tunnel ones with soft sides, which look really comfortable and have definite storage advantages. Or are the plastic types more suitable for MCs? Would it be good to have several openings and do cats appreciate having windows or not? Also some people seem to use small dog carriers? What's the difference and which will last longer? Any suggestions welcome!

We have two very large plastic ones which we've had for years :nod: they even came with a little dish you can clip on the door to put water in which is great if you are on a long journey :nod:

I think one they can see a little out of is best.
