I’ve researched this and have found so much conflicting information… I’m looking to get new carriers for my cats and I can’t figure out the right size.
I’ve read that it should be 1.5 the length from shoulder to butt. Or from nose to butt. Or those measurement “plus 3-4 inches.” Or big enough for them to move around in freely.
My current ones are hard carriers, sized for large cats. My cats are small (6-7lbs) but the small carriers looked just so tiny, so I got big ones. But I do find them difficult - the cats can move around and shift their weight, and it’s hard to carry them smoothly. I only need them for vet trips.
I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to figure this out! Any guidance would be much appreciated.
