I need advice on buying a new cat carrier. [View all]
Two of the pegs that secure the top of Ember's hard plastic carrier to the bottom have broken.
I want a soft carrier this time, preferably one with wheels so that I can take her outdoors in it sometimes. I'm looking for one versatile enough to remove the wheels so that I can put it in a car when necessary. A bonus would be one that is TSA compliant in case I want to take her on a plane, although I have no plans to do that.
Ember only weighs 9 pounds, but she is high at the shoulders and long so she does not fit into carriers for small cats. I can't get accurate measurements of her because, whether I use a pliable measuring tape or a hard measuring stick, she plays with them too much. So I measured her current hard plastic carrier because she fits into it comfortably. It is 18" long, 12" high, and 12" wide.
I looked at Amazon and saw some that are close enough to the measurements to work, but customer reviews vary. I checked Petsmart, but their wheeled cat carrier got such a negative review that I'm wary of it. Don't know if that poster was sincere or a troll.
Can anybody here recommend a good quality, versatile wheeled cat carrier by brand name?
