Customer Reviews
This is the nicest cat backpack I have ever owned and I have had quite a lot. Sturdy, comfortable, lots of cute colors to choose from and most importantly, safe for Nudacris. I highly recommend!
Very nice! I like it
My cat has been trained in this backpack since she was a kitten, it took only a few tries before she was clawing up the inside of backpack to stink it up juuuust right. We go to friends houses, parks, stores, and whenever she needs a breather she can just hop in her pack and take a time out.
while so many of our adventures have been fun and exciting, last week she got her tail caught in a door in a de-gloving accident. she was panicked when she realized what happened, we were of course panicked as well. when we found a vet who could see her on such short notice i grabbed her pack and shockingly- she walked right into it, she clearly recognized it as a safe space. she went to the vet, had half her tail amputated and is making a full recovery.
I am grateful that "The Fat Cat" is so well made, Pat(my cat) prefers entering though the mesh top, but it was very useful that the entire top opens so we could lift her out without grazing her tail on the sides. i was able to stick the whole darn backpack in the shower and get all the blood stains out with just a bit of soap, i really expected to find out some part of this backpack couldn't get wet, but it held up perfectly and it's good as new. we cant wait to continue using our Fat Cat Backpack for more fun adventures.
IS PERFECT
This backpack is a massive upgrade for our savannah! The bag is rigid enough to not sag when our cat is inside. We weren't fans of the bubble attachment due to adding bulk but we liked the window aspect, so we had a 175mm Perspex disk cut out with ventilation holes. Excellent bag, comfortable for both cat and the human!
