I was just wondering if someone can recommend a kennel size for TK? He is 12 pounds and my current kennel only holds up to 10 pounds. No wonder why he hates going in there... He is also a struggle to put in too.

If he is hard to load into a carrier, you would do best with a top loading carrier. That way you can lift him off the bed and just lower him in. It still has a front door, but you dont have to stuff him in it. We use these all the time for rescue cats. The Petmate2 is a good one, comes in several colors and several sizes. he small is for up to 10 lbs. but the medium is for pets 15 to 20 lbs. and measures 24.05 x 16.76 x 14.5. Here is one on Chewy.com which is a very good site to work with. They have cat food, cat toys, and cat equipment. You can surely find the Petmate2 elsewhere, too.

Placing a towel over the cat and covering their face so they can't see where they're going helps to load reluctant cats. They work their way out once in.
I don't think those 2 extra pounds will hurt anything, unless it's a snap close carrier. I witnessed a kitty have one of those things come apart on them mid-air. The poor cat was so terrified. He was very fat! If it's the kind with the screw shut, 2 extra pounds shouldn't cause it to fall apart.
