Cat Tote Bag

I was able to give them a lot more walks

I bought this to give my very shy cat his eye medicine. It has worked perfectly for my needs. He is not able to wriggle away or kick my hand away from his face.

Hes much bigger than my female and needed more room. I now have a bag for each. They dont love it. But they hate it less than the hard carrier. Also easier for the vet to give them shots.

My cat FREAKS OUT when I try to get him into the hard cat carrier. I've also tried the soft cat carriers, but he fights so much that in the past I've actually had better luck with the hard carrier pushed against a wall to help when he resists. I think he is afraid of having something over him- he likes being in boxes for fun, but never with any kind of 'lid'. Since I know he is very wary of his safety, to make this cat bag work as best as I could, here is what I did: 1. took the bag out a few days before we went to the vet, and just let it lay around the house so it was no big deal to him. 2. Tried the bag out with my other cat (who is more adventurous!) to practice with the neck strap. 3. Sprayed the room and cat bag with Feliway (cat calming spray) the morning before our afternoon appt. My anxious cat does sometimes enjoy being cuddled in a blanket, so the day of our vet visit, I calmly wrapped him in a blanket, sat on the floor with the cat bag in front of us and gently guided him from the blanket into the neck hold of the cat bag. He did resist a bit (of course!) but it was SO MUCH easier and less stressful for both of us than the hard cat carrier, which has been a nightmare in the past.

These heavy canvas bags are amazing for transporting cats. Its so much easier to get the cat into the bag than a standard cat carrier (as they dont see it coming nearly as well). Its easier to cuddle them in the bags while they remain restrained and unable to run away.
