   My cat has never had any issues with his carrier and always gets in it on his own, but it was way too small. Now that I have this he is in love. Comes with a soft insert for the bottom, and hes started napping in it. I'm sure cats who are bad in carriers would find this a lot less stressful! It also has a little place to hook his harness, so there is no fear of him jumping out when you open it. Update: Mac loves hiking in it!! I take the bubble off and leave the top open for when its warm. He usually ends up falling asleep on the way down the mountain, so its comfortable for him! I will say the plastic screen window piece that comes with it is more ideal for warm weather since it has more air holds obviously. I use the bubble for cooler weather.

   While my cat hasn’t gotten fully used to it as a backpack she does love to use it as a place to relax and be in her own space. She is an older cat so even just using it as a bed is good as she can have some hesitation sometimes to use new stuff. Hopefully with some work she will be more comfortable using it. Other than that the backpack fits great when wearing and it is very well made.

   Our cat is harness trained and loves going outside for walks but HATES being trapped in a crate or any enclosed space, so we're taking it very slow getting her used to being in just an open backpack. Lots of treats and patience and within a month she's already getting pretty comfortable hanging out inside the backpack and even walking around while inside it. I chose this backpack over less expensive ones because I wanted something durable that would last, and so far this backpack keeps its shape well and hasn't shown any signs of wear. I love the side pockets and interchangeable bubble window. The air-holes are also perfect to dispense treats through. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and hope for many cat adventures in the future.

   We've been using the fat cat backpack since this little booger was 10 weeks old, and he LOVES it. He plays on and in it constantly. He loves poking his little head into the portal, and he falls asleep in it all of the time in the car. Also for me this has made travel with him sooooo much easier, even vet visits as it leaves my hands free for other things while keeping him safely on my back. It's also incredibly comfortable to wear.

   Wow this is big. I got the large because the medium wasn’t available. There are some differences between the bag and the description. The large bag does have a zipper around the bottom. And there aren’t any zippered side pockets. I only have the two mesh pockets (1 on each side). It does feel very sturdy and after it’s “assembled” (zipped up) it is lighter than it seemed when I first removed from the box. I have a 13 pound Siamese and there is more than enough room for him. Update: we just took Nibbles to the park for the first time and the back pack was great. Nibbles hopped right back in whenever he got nervous. Its just the right height for him to sit up straight and look out the top. At first I thought the dome window was goofy but he enjoyed looking out of it. I do wish it had another opening on the side but overall I’m very happy I got this and would do it again.

   I am so happy with this product and so is my kitty. Beyond allowing us to bring her along on family walks safely and confidently, it has given me a sense of comfort that I never anticipated. I suffered from anxiety thinking of carrying an awkward standard style cat crate in case of natural or other types of disaster. In the Fat Cat Backpack her weight is hardly noticeable and the chest strap limits the Conestoga-Wagon-style jostling. It took her a little while to adjust to joining us on walks, but not long into the first walk she stopped her incessant meowing to look and smell and enjoy her new surroundings. I would highly recommend starting out in quiet places to get your kitty comfortable. Product is fantastic quality, sturdy and very good looking. Bottom line is: if have a cat, you should get a Fat Cat Backpack. It will replace the standard crate before we know it

   We use 1 month. Backpack quality. Cat over 4 kg. fits comfortably. In the car, a backpack in a horizontal position on the back seat serves as a house for him, he crawls in there himself, willingly.

   Great quality. Cat loves it. It is a good size. Vent holes in the plastic dome and bottom are perfect for feeding him treats. Plenty of mesh so there is good ventilation. He is 8lbs right now and can lay downturn around comfortably when the bag is upright. Likes to go for walks harnessed in with the top unzipped.. It fits us both well and comfortable. Seat belt fits around it nicely as well. Kids in the park like our "astronaut cat"

   This product save my girlfriend and I, before her cat and i could not get along but thanks to this we were able to spend much more time together and at first it wasn’t helping but then I took her cat to the beach and that was it our issues were over I have not had any issues with that cat ever since. My hit was pretty upset that her cat died of heatstroke in this thing but it’s all good we bought a dog so who cares
