I got this today and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it is, plus it is plenty big for my cats. I have 3 cats ranging in size from 6 11 pounds and was afraid that my 11# wouldn't fit so I ordered a different kind for her that cost more. As it turns out, she would have easily fit in this. Looks like I ended up spending more and didn't have to. I love the way you can put the cat in the top by flipping it open on the hinge side and then it closes firmly. Every time we would try to put one of our cats in the typical front open carrier, they all seemed to become all paws and claws! Even standing it up on one end and putting them in feet first, didn't work. They caught on to that trick rather quickly. This is so much easier! I know the other review said it was hard to open, but I think that is a good thing. I don't want it to easily flip open without a little effort on my part. This way I can feel my cat is secure until the vet or myself is ready to get her out. I am totally happy with this and like I said, could have ordered 3 and saved some money.

UPDATE 12-31-2011: We have used this several times to take our 3 cats to the vet for check ups and nail trims etc., and these carriers are definitely the way to go. So easy to use that even the vet and his staff were impressed with them. Plus, we did end up buying 2 more so all 3 cats have their own.

This carrier is NOT the one in the picture. It is a solid top do it does not have the top wire opening. No side door either. It opens like a suitcase.

I have not used product yet, but appears awkward, and unsure of how sturdy it is.

I will not return it because I would have to pay shipping and 15% of the cost of the product. If I can not use it as a cat carrier I will use it for something else. I believe it will work for my kitten, but it seems like he will out grow it soon.

I loved the kennel. My cat is pretty large for a 1 year old. He's not fat, but he is VERY muscular. He didn't have a problem with this kennel at all. I was even delayed by 6 hours, and I let him out in the pet area, but he didn't seem to mind being in it either.

It's not real large, but it fits PURRFECTLY under the seats of the plane. He flew in cabin with me, and slept.

The product was sturdy and a great buy. My best friend after seeing it now wants one. If I had to purchase another before flying I would definitely go back to this.

I exchanged mine with wire top. I haven't used it, yet. I think it'll fit under the seat, and the right size for my bunny

While I was visiting Puerto Rico in October 1997 I fell in love with a kitten that had been abandoned. When I called the airlines to see if it would be possible to carry my new kitten on the plane WITH ME (she was too small, only 4 weeks old to go in cargo) they recommended that I buy a carrier that could fit under the airplane seat. I had not heard of anything like this, but I went to the closest pet store and asked them if they had one. THEY DID this very one for less than $20. I bought it and brought her back home with me.

Not only was the carrier a perfect fit under the seat it was a perfect size to sit on top of the seat tray so I could check on her (feed her/comfort her). PLUS I loved that you couldn't really see inside and poke around because it kept her more calm. I have had this carrier since! Nothing has broken! Anytime I had to carry her anywhere (moving, vets, pet-sitters) I used it. In her adult senior age she was used to it, and although it didn't give her a lot of wiggle room this was by far the best way to transport her. I once used a "new" carrier thinking the extra wiggle room would be appreciated but half way through the drive she peed. Sometimes less is best.

Today I am buying another one so the new kitten doesn't have to share but I still have the 1st one and I will never get rid of it.
