Designed for real pets or for stuffed animals?!
So based on reviews I read before purchasing, this bag has some fans and success stories. Now that it’s arrived I admit I’m flabbergasted how any cat owner makes this work. My short review would simply advise you to skip this, run the other direction. It’s just not a quality piece and has some genuinely troubling design flaws. If you’re not convinced and desire further details as to exactly why it doesn’t work for us, read on.I have 2 cats that are great with nail trimming so my goal here wasn’t as a grooming aid, rather I wanted it for a soft sling carrier for transporting my 9.5 lb rescue cat, a Turkish Angora. She hates traditional carriers/cages so I thought having her near my body, on the occasions we have to leave the house, it might soothe her. But right after opening the package I realized what a huge nooooo this was gonna be….First, it’s completely misleading for this brand to label this a “sling”; in reality this only has a short top handle, *not* a sling strap. Neither in length or orientation could this ever be called a sling. The handle drop is 8” and it’s sewn along the very center of the bag. If I wanted to carry my cat like a briefcase, well, this bag would certainly do the trick! Notice that nowhere in the description do they post the measurements of the “strap”. And now I know why. I tried it on over my shoulder and the drop is so short that the bag was in my armpit. The strap also narrows in the center which also proves this is designed for a hand not a shoulder. Sorry to belabor the point, but while I wasn’t expecting a friggin BabyBjörn, I’d assumed I was a purchasing a sling, one that could accommodate the proportions of an average adult body.Secondly, should you want to utilize the front leg holes, the placement of these slits (lined inexplicably with the loop side of hook and loop tape AKA what most of us call Velcro) is ridiculous and surely uncomfortable. Why? Well the slits are located on the side seams of the sac, right at the very front—picture a carrier for flying squirrel, mid-flight. Leg holes—whether for a dog or cat—belong slightly nearer the front/chest. This bag assumes that limbs are two twigs growing straight out from the neck. If someone wanted this for a cat who hated having his nails done, HOW would this contraption be a solution?? Now your cat will hate two things. Simply because the designers of this bag have a Picasso-esque view of anatomy. Once you’ve wrestled your cat’s legs into place, should you make it that far, what remains is a wad of stiff nylon just all bunched up at the chest.Obviously this bag is not designed for large/heavy pets and I knew that prior to purchase. I confirmed my 13.5 lb cat couldn’t fully fit inside. Nor did I expect him to. Nor did i want to push the issue and risk catching his tail on the bottom zipper. (This is the entry/exit point of the carrier). So why is the neck on this bag sized for a huge specimen? It’s gigantic. See my pic next to a 16 oz water bottle. Even a bruiser of a cat would need several inches of the neck tightened. The sound of Velcro being ripped and re-ripped—a very grating and loud noise happening one inch from the ears—has got to be a nightmare scenario for the average feline. And if you have a long haired cat like mine, those fine silky strands become magnets to Velcro. Maybe you’ll manage to emerge without a strangled cat because the cinch-ability is so poor…. but no guarantee Snowflake won’t have bald patches. Just a horrid design, 3x bigger than it should be. Plus all this excess nylon once again gathers and accordions around the neck, all because of the shoddy design.The bag is super inexpensive… but ask yourself why? Because the entire mechanics are LOL. But what isn’t a LOL is that cats are persnickety and one negative experience will ‘scar’ them for life, causing all sorts of grief for the human down the road. Doubly so if you have a sensitive rescue with an unfortunate past. Not worth imprinting a pet with this nonsense. And what about dogs? Well I raised Boston Terriers for years, dressed em up like idiots, made them endure all sorts of humiliations; they are an easy going breed and pretty small as puppies... and no way, no matter how amenable they could be, would I ever had put one of them in this contraption!!

Both of my cats *hate* the hard-sided cat carrier, but one of them doesn't mind traveling in this cat bag at all! I think because he can poke his head out and look around, he doesn't cry like he does in the regular carrier. And it's far easier for me to carry too! I actually take him for walks in the carrier and he loves it. It's also very easy to buckle him up in the passenger seat of my car when we drive somewhere - definitely less maneuvering than the regular carrier requires to get around the boxy sides. My other cat is far more skittish, so it takes a lot of effort to get her into it (really just for clipping her nails), but my smaller cat (pictured) just runs right in! It would be nice if there were back paw openings too, to facilitate clipping the back claws.
When wearing the cat carrier on my shoulder, it feels sturdy and I'm never afraid it will break or anything like that. The only real complaint about the sizing/comfort is that it doesn't feel safe to have my cat's paws through the paw openings when carrying him around. I'm not positive, but it feels like there's too much distance, so his neck is pinched in neck hole. When I leave the paw holes closed, he can just stand up or lay down inside the bag at an angle that provides enough support to prevent the bag's neck hole from choking him. When his paws are through the paw holes, there's no ability for him to get purchase to change his height because he has to be on his stomach. Since's hes skinny/small, the distance from his stomach to the neck hole is a bit too long to be comfortable for him.
