Hello Leigh-Anne. Thanks for trying our carrier. All in all, I don't think your cats did badly at all. There were some things you could have done that would have gone a long way toward solving some issues I saw -- the littlest one jumping out, and the cats getting their paws out the collar being the main two. Here's what we recommend: Gather the bottom of the bag up to the collar. Place your cat in front of you, facing away, so it's easy to keep him in place with your other hand or arm around his chest. This lets you slide the collar over his head. Adjust it so it is snug on his neck, with room for one finger to slide under it. Then pull the bag down around him, and zip. The collar does need to be snug. There can't be a gap between it and his neck. It didn't look to me as if you tightened the collar much at all, so your cats were able to begin working their way out. The littlest one could maybe benefit from our small size, and your biggest one, from what I could see, probably would feel better in our extra-large instead of the large. There were all sorts of growls there in the beginning with him, but when you showed him at the end, he seemed to have calmed down. Mostly, I thought your cats seemed to react to it ok. We believe most cats do, but we know all cats are different, so we offer a full refund within 30 days if not satisfied. Since you weren't happy with the results of your test, I hope you were able to take advantage of our refund policy. --- Jeanne, Cat-in-the-bag
Hi Jeanne, so sorry for missing your comment and for such a belated response - thanks for leaving such a thoughtful comment. Definitely agree that the collar needed to be tightened more and Baby Cat needed the smaller size. Yes, I was able to take advantage of the refund policy and would recommend people trying the carrier out for themselves to see if their cats are open to it since that's a great policy. My main concern in returning it wasn't just that they seemed uncomfortable in it at the beginning, it was that if I left them alone in it for a few seconds, they started to twist and turn in the bag to try to get it off. It made me think that, if we used it to take them to the vet, they'd toss and turn in the passenger's seat and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it whilst driving. Like we said at the end of the video, though, I think that if we'd introduced them to the bag at a younger age, that they would have been much more receptive to it. I'll pin your comment to the top of the comments section on this video so that people can easily read your advice on it. Best, Leigh-Anne
First off, these cats have GREAT names. All in all, I think this is a clever idea and it helped to see cats of different temperments experiencing the bag. Jeanne's instruction post above is great and make the whole bagging process less intimidating than it appeared in the video. Be it getting a harness on a cat, giving it meds, or smoothly getting it into a regular cat carrier, I find confidence and speed make a huge difference in how a cat reacts. (Get it done so quickly and smoothly that they don't know what hit them, so to speak, and knowing when to give up and let the cat "re-set" before you try again.) Here, I think the key lies in getting the bag over the cat's head and the collar adjusted as quickly as possible. Most cats don't like things on or around their head, especially if it blocks their sight. By gathering the bottom of the bag up to the collar, it gets over the cat's head quicker with less struggling. Cats are creatures of mystery and can surprise us with their reactions to things, so I like the 30 day policy is great because it gives enough time to practice putting the bag on and carrying the cat until it feels comfortable. It may take 1 try or it may take 10....or end up just not being the right thing for your cat. I think I'm going to give it a shot. Again, LOVE the cats' names!!!
I thought they did great and I'm totally going to buy one of these!!! My cat Harper bloodies his nose really bad on carriers when he goes to the vet so I'm less inclined to take him because I don't want to stress him so much. This is a great alternative and it's almost like a thunder coat!
I'm impressed with how well those cats did. I clicked on this video expecting bloodshed, now I'm more convinced that I could actually use this product.
I agree. I thought it went as well as can be expected. I tried a cheaper and smaller on of one of my cats to pill him but it easier just to pill him because it was difficult getting him in and keeping his paws in
I tried one of these and when I was just testing, it didn't work well, but later when I really needed to take a cat to the vet, I managed to get it on him okay (with some protest by the cat) but then he calmed down and did beautifully. Using the bag, I was able to transport him, medicate him, and give him fluids which would have been impossible without it. The vet called my cat "fractious" but in his bag he's not like that. It's so much easier to treat him when he's in his bag. I love the thing and will use them for all my cats from now on. It truly saved my baby's life.
Oh, and I found that when he pulled his head inside, he did okay like that too. It was easy enough to get the hole back over his neck if I needed to give him a pill or something, but in the meantime just for transport, he was fine whether his head was inside or out. I also don't think it was a problem if he got one paw out the neck hole, so long as he couldn't slip completely through it, as your cat did.
Letting him get used to the bag and getting it to smell right helped a whole lot, too. I have it lying flat near his bed and he likes to sleep on top of it. I think smells matter a whole lot to a cat, so once it smelled right to him, and he got used to having it put on him, he fought much less. No carrier or confinement is going to be fun for a cat, because they like self-determination. But this one is the best of any I've ever used. And the benefit of being able to give medicine and fluids with it makes it priceless to me.
Thanks for sharing your story with the bag, Tatiana! That makes a lot of sense about getting it so that they smell right to them and having them become more familiar with it. Did you find in the car ride to the vet that your cat flopped around in the bag at all? That's the other thing that concerned me, when Howard almost fell off the couch from flopping around when I left him alone for a minute
I'm disabled so I hired someone to carry him to the vet once he was bagged, and the vet and I spoke by phone. I believe the cat transport lady put my kitty in the floorboard area of her back seat, though, so that no flopping around could harm him. I also think you can pass the seatbelt through the handle of the bag to secure the cat in the seat itself (if you want them better cushioned than they would be on the floor). So it wasn't a problem. The vet did also agree that he was much easier to treat when he was inside the bag still. They used to say he was "fractious", but he was only scared. The bag makes him feel safe, so he's much more cooperative both at home and at the vet's office.
I've had two of these, 2 different sizes, for over 10 years and found this to be the best carrier. I've used it with at least five different cats and once they got used to it, they traveled well. You do have to tighten the neck enough so that they cannot get a paw out. I just took a cat that showed up a few months ago, not completely feral, but an outside cat, and took her to the vet. She did really well. The vet was able to give her shots, take blood, etc, safely, while she remained in the bag. So much nicer than a carrier since you can hug your kitty while you're waiting and she can look out the window while traveling. These are great!
This is hilarious! Love the humor. Thank you for this light-hearted example of how different cats respond. I still think it's a brilliant idea. Anything would be better than a barf-o-rama in the cat carrier that I go through each time!
Glad you enjoyed it, Jennifer, it was pretty funny for me to watch back while I was editing as well :) Oh no, a barf-o-rama situation sounds awful! Your cats don't barf when you put them in the bag, though? That's so interesting
You're saying it didn't work, however considering that you never gave the cats time to acclimate to the bag in any way (leaving it out so they could sleep on it, smell it, etc.) it looks like they all handled it pretty well. Watching your video makes me realize that I would want to open the velcro collar before getting the cat near the bag. That noise would be super loud right next to your cat's ear. I know what I'll be getting for my fur-babies.
That was exactly what I expected from this product! I just saw the ad today, and found your video while attempting to view the ad again. LOL great video!
Thanks for watching! :) If you have kittens, I definitely think you can get them used to it and maybe even enjoying it, but for my older cats they definitely weren't having it haha
I smiled all through the video!! Your cats are beautiful but they would never make it to the vet in this carrier. Cute trick with your Mom. Hope you all have a great day.
Thank you Mari!! I think they're just the cutest little creatures too, thanks for recognizing their beauty :)) Yes, they would never make it to the vet if we tried to actually travel with them haha! Hope you have a great day too!
This is truly one of the most realistic and fun reviews Ive seen. Thank you for an honest share! And you are all so delightful. Of course the kitties are the stars . * And yes we can tell they are so loved even if a wee bit perturbed in the moment 😆❤️😉❤️
We have a cat in a bag and though our PB didn't much appreciate it, it still is nicer than a carrier as I was able to be able to reach over when driving to the vets and touch my cat as he was seat belted through the handle of the bag to the passengers seat as well as being able to hold him in my lap while in the waiting area. Unfortunately we lost just Chubs due to Cancer. If and when we have another cat we will definitely use the cat in a bag. As with many creatures each cat is unique and has his/her own set of gifts some will adapt easier than others.
It's to bad there are so many negative comments on here about the "Cat in The Bag" carrier. It allows me to give better care and hygiene to my cats with much less trauma. I'm one that do my 3 cats nails once a month and do there teeth several times a week. I couldn't do this without the cat in the bag carrier. I make sure when I'm done with them I loosen the neck a little and throw some of their favorite food in and just let them eat and chill out inside of the bag. The bag is out all the time for them to interact with when not in use. Going to the vets is also easier instead of making 3 different appointments I now only need to make one and put the cats on my shoulder and walk them in the vets like that. It's a game changer.
Thanks for the laugh!! Informative and fun! You are so sweet with the kitties and your mom was great! I wish I knew your family as I am a big cat lover myself. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for sharing. Lots of ads for this popping up for the holidays. You know what actually works? The top of your kennel probably pops off & on fairly easy with just a few latches. Remove & DROP Kitty in, instead of forcing through the front door. Then reapply the top. It may help to have a second person, but I’ve done this myself many times. I suspect there will be a lot of folks with buyer’s remorse RE this product, as it’s a common challenge for all cat owners - this just isn’t the solution. If they start making kitten bags, you could probably get your babies acclimated early - but that’s a whole lot of forethought for people who maybe never owned cats. And for most cats this does not look like less stress than a Kennel IMHO. Good demo.
howie is a 20-pounder omg??!!!! i was so scared that the cats might scratch u.. your dad is hilarious with his PETA comment! and opie is soooo cuteee!!!!!
Hi thanks for posting this informative and helpful review. I’ve just purchased one of these. I wished I’d checked out any reviews first. I’m pleased to also see instructions posted on how to use. Our cat is quite nervous but inquisitive so it will be interesting to see how she gets on with this.
Haha no they didn't love it, unfortunately :/ Thanks for watching, Maria! I hope you can get a kitty soon. These are actually my parents' cats, so I'd like a little kitty of my own too :)
Thanks for reviewing this product. We have nine cats (including one named Howard!), and there have been one or two times when we've had to take as many as 4 to the vet at the same time. My husband and I are aging, and cannot carry two cats in one carrier anymore; but with one cat per shoulder, we can manage four at a time. I think only Jumoki, who fights everything, and Junior, the former semi-feral, might fight the bag. Ace, Boq, Pertwee, and Oreo would like it, I think; while Thea, Colleen, and Howard would put up with it.
Aww I love that you have a Howard in your family too :)) You should make a video yourself, showing for all your different cats react! I think it really does depend so much on a cat's personality, background, and age.
It really work y'all but how you approach the cat and place him in and you got to be calm and not dying of laughter like she is for this to work the cat has to trust you and your energy so take it seriously be quite when doing it be quick so don't joke around and giggle and your cats will love it mine like it so much they go into by themselves.
Her laughter, I believe, helped. If you're too business like or serious or even nervous, the cat INSTANTLY picks up on that and gets upset too. They take their cues from us. If you remain calm and reassuring the cat seems to work better with you. I learned this through trial and error and the vet teaching us things. If you get upset, I think the cat feels there is something to fear. Anyway, I think her laughing and good attitude helped.
Omgosshh I love this video!! I was laughing so much!! HAHA!! I loveee cats! I only have one. My cat would of probably jump out like the baby cats haha! liked#14
My cat was recently prescribed a med in tablet form. It is to help control chronic diarrhea he has suffered for years & that makes him very skinny; dangerously skinny. He will need to take it for as long as he lives and I expect that to be years more. I think a bag will make it easier to get the pill down him. I think he will be more at ease if we don't fight over it as we have been since he started taking the med a couple of weeks ago. It was helpful to see how you got the cats into the bag. THANKS!
Joe and I were cracking up watching this. Nutmeg would 100% jump through the head hole too. I don't think we'll be investing in this cat carrier bag any time soon haha.
Lol this video was so much fun to film because there were a lot of laughs during the process and also while watching it back during the editing process
Your kitties are simply adorable! Annually, we have to crate our cat for her shots and she does NOT like it. This time, I'm gonna try the burrito theory.
@@LeighAnneMarie Hi, Leigh-Anne Marie! Well, we decided to just put her in the bathroom and have the vet come to our home. We have a few in our area that do this. It's not cheap but I was so afraid of struggling with her and inadvertently hurting her back legs in the process of getting her in the crate. I put a soft towel that she's used to in the sink and she just sits there waiting. In the beginning, she yowls and I have to leave the house and let my husband stay with her. It hurts to hear her. I know it's that she doesn't like it but it sounds awful and I just want to let her out. Anyway, the vet came and gave her all her shots and an exam, trimmed her nails and luckily she got a stool sample. Everything is fine. The vet said she's in great shape. She's over 10. I estimate her to be around 12 or 13 so she's a senior. I'm so glad it's done but she's and in/out cat and must have all her shots. She was feral when we met her. One evening I heard this crying and went to look and I saw her crying up at the house. I said, hey, hon, there's a cat crying up at the window! We fed her and from that day on, she's ours. Some lady with two little boys came to our house looking for her so I said, well, she's here if you want her but she wasn't interested. I thought the cat should be with her rightful owner but this lady actually had her spayed. This lady also was letting her mother breed all over the place. Well, she went and had a brood of kittens in our back yard and the cat we took in was so upset that her own mother would not entertain her anymore with new kittens. She refused to eat. My husband was angry and hurt as I was because it's not fair to all these cats. Someone went to the authorities and they made this lady stop letting these cats breed. My husband had to spend $160.00 to have someone take the mother AND her kittens to a shelter. We made sure that they would be treated nicely and allowed to be with the mother until they could be adopted. I cried alot. As soon as her mother and her kittens were gone our cat settled down and was okay. We love her dearly. Anyway, thank you for listening and thank you for the video. I guess you already know I'm a cat fan! XXOO
Lol love your cats so much so jelly you have 4 cats! Need to try this to be able to take my cats to the vets because we literally have to carry them ahah
Izzy K oh my gosh, if we tried to just carry them to the vet we'd definitely get scratched (we usually do a crate), yours must be better behaved than ours haha! I hope the carrier ends up working out better for your cats than mine!
All I can say about the bag... Nope. Crates are nope also... But a carrier with netting all around it, my friend's cat loves it, he can move freely in it and look all around including look up at my friend while she walks... The one she haves is comfortable to carry, haves a long strap that goes around her body plus two smaller straps to hold in her hands. A solid padded bottom so he can lay or sit comfortably, plus when she sits it down he isn't being put on anything hard or uncomfortable for him. Flaps that are clear, you can zip up in case it rains and he can still look out and not get wet, it's breathable when zipped up.
That's very interesting, do you know what the carrier with the netting is called? I've never seen that before but would like to try it out on our cats!
@@LeighAnneMarie So sorry I didn't get back to you until now.I didn't even know I had this message.I wasn't getting notifi about it.Sorry, but there's more to it because when you sit it down.There's zippers on the side that you can open it and you'll have two small rooms so they can have more room to relax in.
@michelledemers1965 I forgot what it's called sorry but Also have two compartments in it It zips on the side and you can extend the bag for them To be more comfortable and have more room.You can find it On probably amazon or even go to a pet store they might have one. My auto correct is messing with me. It is getting hard for me to write something, and it keeps changing my words. Incidentally, since I posted this about 7 years ago.The bag is still in use.Today, it still lasted this whole time.
Those are the best cat names - Howard, Wallace, Opie...LOL. I don’t know about actually transporting my cat in it, but I think it would be PERFECT for trimming her claws!
AWWWWWW!! They are so cute! At least you got them in there. If you can't keep them in that, then at least getting them in the bag, you can then place them in a crate and then they can't escape plus the vet will put them back in the box to take back home. VERY cute though! Our cat is much more feisty. I saw this one vet take a pillow case and put the cat in and then crate him. We have to take our cat to the vet this Saturday and I'm terrified to get her in the crate because, well, let's face it, you only get one shot at it and then the cat knows what you're up to and wants to run.
Thanks Jean! :) That's a good point, it would be helpful for getting them in a crate, especially if they're not familiar with the bag (ours often automatically make themselves scarce when they see the crate come out haha). Good luck getting your cat to the vet, hope it all goes smoothly!
That was hilarious. Poor Howie! 😂 The only reason I wouldn't buy this carrier is because there are airport approved ones for the same price and id rather have something like that when traveling
Thank you very much for the review and demonstrations! I was thinking of getting one, or more. I have 7 cats. 🙀 I have a small animal sanctuary in my home. I will be passing on this now, my cats are all grown as well. Thank you for sharing! 😻
Just wanted to let you know, I got her in the crate. She lets me handle her and pick her up but not for long. I picked her up and carried her to the carrier and as I was placing her in, she began to struggle, FAST. My husband came over and helped me remove her paws from the outside and quickly close the top. She was in there! She was screaming on top of her lungs though. The must've heard her in Japan! I cannot stand when she cries. I kept telling her, you'll be right back! It didn't take long, my husband took her there while went to a 24hr. diner and cried and cried until I was exhausted, worrying about her. Finally at a little after 9:00am my husband phoned and said she's done and I'm on my way home with her. I was ecstatic! I stood on the front stoop and helped hold the door while he carried her in the house. We lifted the top and she just stayed in crying. My husband lifted her out and placed her on the floor. She immediately headed for the back door to be let out. She stayed on the deck, looking in the window meowing. I went on the deck and she was meowing and we call it "blooping" where she flops on her back looking for a belly rub. After a while she calmed down and I fed her and gave her water. She fell asleep on her favorite spot on the deck. I was so happy it was over. Anyway, she's QUICK! Before I could even think, she already was struggling so fast but I kept my grip on her, front and back. I do know how to handle cats since I've had many through the years. Thank you for posting about yours, it kind of gave me courage. XO
Loved this video!😁 Was smiling and laughing the whole time! 😂 As a cat Mom of 8- yes 8! I was curious if this would help our vet trips be less traumatic, but after seeing a real- life demonstration of the bag, I’m thinking not so much, lol ! Maggi is our little escape artist and would be out the head opening in 1.2 seconds flat😂 Thanks for the information and you all did a great job! Kudos to Mom & Dad also and of course the stars of the show- the kitties 😸👍🏼🐾🐾
Thank you so much for your kind comment!! I'm so sorry that I missed it. TH-cam just changed the formatting on the back end to show me comments that I haven't replied to and I saw this. That's so amazing that you have eight kitties. And I'll pass along your kudos to Mom & Dad & the kitties 😸
I need to give my cat sub-cutaneous fluid and keep them still, so that might actually be helpful for someone to hold them quietly. Thanks for the review.
Oh my god this is amazing! Howie was having absolutely none of it haha Your mum makes a good point, maybe they need to get used to it then they're young, but also if you kept taking them to the vet in it maybe it would just create more of a negative association? idk Also I have fallen in love with all your cats
Lol Howie is VERY vocal about how he's feeling and he really was not having it! That's a good point, it probably would have that negative association with it then. The way they advertised it made it seem like the cats would think of it as a cozy, comforting cocoon but that was unfortunately not our experience with it....awww yay, I love them so much so I'm glad you love them too :)
I think they did pretty well, actually. They weren't thrashing, screaming, or actively trying to get away from you. Like some others have said, if you had tightened the neck and given them time to acclimate to it, I think they would have been fine.
Well, they didn't know what was coming and they trust me, so I didn't expect them to try to get away from me. I don't know if it would've been the same if I'd tried to put them in a second time. Maybe they could have acclimated over time, but there was thrashing with Howard and Wally that you can see in their parts of the video that concerned me. I couldn't imagine actually taking them to the vet in it because of the wiggling around and struggling to get out of the bag - if they had been in the car doing that while I was driving to the vet, they'd be quite distracting as well as potentially hurting themselves with the effort. Like I said at the end of the video, I think it would've been better to introduce them to it at a younger age so that they just always would have been used to it.
Hilarious!!! I got a different brand and didn’t come with instructions. I’m here looking for how to use it. This is tooo funny!!! The second one is my baby girl. The first one is my daughters cat. So I can’t wait to try this.
Thanks! :) You should try it out!! I'd be so curious about how other real cats react (because when I looked at their promotional videos before I bought it, the cats were very calm and didn't have a problem with it, unlike mine haha).
My cat just DIED this morning after being in the bag for 3-4 minutes! She crawled in voluntarily but didn't really like it once I zipped it. Last night I noticed she had a little trouble breathing, but then this morning she was fine, but I still wanted to take her to the vet just to make sure.
Dx the entire point of making this bag is that they’re supposed to like it! Or like it more than a carrier at least. In a carrier they can at least move around but this bag makes them either sit still or get stuck on the inside of the bag.... idk. It was a good idea but I don’t think it works for all cats.
Agreed, I like the idea but definitely not suitable for all cats. I think if you introduce them to it at a younger age, it'd be much more likely to work.
This confirmed my expectations that many cats will not like it and will work to get out of it, if they can. Way too risky for thin energetic cats. I'd hate to see a cat get out in a very bad location for them to get out and run away or get hurt.
LOL! Very helpfull video. I would have the same concerns as you have (start panicing while driving). We always use a top loader travel crate for our cats. This way you don't have to push them face forward into hell ;)
@@LeighAnneMarie I could never get my cat in a carrier, I read a few tips, tried them and have success 99% of the time. I bought a larger carrier, tip it upside down (opening at the top) put a light blanket over the hole then when she is sleeping I pick her up and pop her in feet first, she doesn't even know what's happening it's so fast. Of course the carrier is close to where she is sleeping so you don't have far to go....lol. I was thinking of getting one of these pouches as it would be great for trimming her nails however she is fast and furious and would take off the minute I even "tried" putting her in it. Every cat is different.
Great product and video I love it for giving meds syringe feeding too. Everyone should get a small and medium sized. Another idea put rubber mat on table top put cat in faster. Than bending on a couch especially for older people or people with with back problems. Remember it’s not only for transportation to vet but for giving meds performing your own vet healing tasks. She did not do it right use a table and a rubber mat any cat young or senior will get use to it.
Thanks for sharing lol. My cats don't even like to be HELD, so I'm sure that would be a blood- drawing battle. I bought the cat harness to take them for a walk, and my cat did a crocodile roll , escaped, and was on a three day lam before I finally lured her back home. I better stick with my cloth crate with sherpa bedding. Cats are weird😂😂😂
Once I was thinking of buying it, but before I pressed the Purchase button, I saw my cat giving me the look like "Don't you f*cking dare!" The look was worse then Titanic itself
I'm not sure of the fabric, but their nails couldn't get through it while we were testing it. I'm not sure if the fabric would get pulls in it over time
I also named my cat baby "Kat" he is about 16 human years old now though, and doesn't like anything but me, and now I call him "do," short for "whayadoin" and he answers to everything, but that's my "do"
Aww Kat sounds like a lovely cat. That's really funny about his "do" nickname. We unfortunately lost our Baby Cat toward the end of last year (I put a tribute video up of him on my channel) but he was really a special addition in our lives for the time that he was here with us
My cat is cool with everything. I can put it where ever I want and it doesn't mind. That's what will happen if your cat grows up with two little children. Now my kids are older (10 and 12) and my cat is 7 years old but I can still carry it like a rag doll and it's totally cool about it.
Do you ever take her for walks? I'd love to get a cat harness someday and see if any of the cats would go walking with me. For the vet specifically, though, sur cats get pretty stressed going to the vet, so I'm afraid they might scratch us if we were carrying them in a harness...
This video is hilarious. While it looks like a pretty good idea - a riff on the purrito (kitty wrapped in a towel or blanket with just their head out} I am pretty sure my 12 year old lady (see avatar) would kill me in my sleep if I put her in one of these. (Even with her thunder shirt on.)
Lol I do like a cute kitten wrapped in a blanket, but yes, I think older cats like ours just don't adjust to this bag well unfortunately. I've never tried a thunder shirt on a cat before (I think my sister's dog might have one) - is that just to help keep them calm and does it work?
Hello Leigh-Anne. Thanks for trying our carrier. All in all, I don't think your cats did badly at all. There were some things you could have done that would have gone a long way toward solving some issues I saw -- the littlest one jumping out, and the cats getting their paws out the collar being the main two. Here's what we recommend: Gather the bottom of the bag up to the collar. Place your cat in front of you, facing away, so it's easy to keep him in place with your other hand or arm around his chest. This lets you slide the collar over his head. Adjust it so it is snug on his neck, with room for one finger to slide under it. Then pull the bag down around him, and zip. The collar does need to be snug. There can't be a gap between it and his neck. It didn't look to me as if you tightened the collar much at all, so your cats were able to begin working their way out. The littlest one could maybe benefit from our small size, and your biggest one, from what I could see, probably would feel better in our extra-large instead of the large. There were all sorts of growls there in the beginning with him, but when you showed him at the end, he seemed to have calmed down. Mostly, I thought your cats seemed to react to it ok. We believe most cats do, but we know all cats are different, so we offer a full refund within 30 days if not satisfied. Since you weren't happy with the results of your test, I hope you were able to take advantage of our refund policy. --- Jeanne, Cat-in-the-bag
Hi Jeanne, so sorry for missing your comment and for such a belated response - thanks for leaving such a thoughtful comment. Definitely agree that the collar needed to be tightened more and Baby Cat needed the smaller size. Yes, I was able to take advantage of the refund policy and would recommend people trying the carrier out for themselves to see if their cats are open to it since that's a great policy. My main concern in returning it wasn't just that they seemed uncomfortable in it at the beginning, it was that if I left them alone in it for a few seconds, they started to twist and turn in the bag to try to get it off. It made me think that, if we used it to take them to the vet, they'd toss and turn in the passenger's seat and we wouldn't be able to do anything about it whilst driving.

I'll pin your comment to the top of the comments section on this video so that people can easily read your advice on it. Best, Leigh-Anne
First off, these cats have GREAT names. All in all, I think this is a clever idea and it helped to see cats of different temperments experiencing the bag. Jeanne's instruction post above is great and make the whole bagging process less intimidating than it appeared in the video. Be it getting a harness on a cat, giving it meds, or smoothly getting it into a regular cat carrier, I find confidence and speed make a huge difference in how a cat reacts. (Get it done so quickly and smoothly that they don't know what hit them, so to speak, and knowing when to give up and let the cat "re-set" before you try again.) Here, I think the key lies in getting the bag over the cat's head and the collar adjusted as quickly as possible. Most cats don't like things on or around their head, especially if it blocks their sight. By gathering the bottom of the bag up to the collar, it gets over the cat's head quicker with less struggling. Cats are creatures of mystery and can surprise us with their reactions to things, so I like the 30 day policy is great because it gives enough time to practice putting the bag on and carrying the cat until it feels comfortable. It may take 1 try or it may take 10....or end up just not being the right thing for your cat. I think I'm going to give it a shot. Again, LOVE the cats' names!!!
I thought they did great and I'm totally going to buy one of these!!! My cat Harper bloodies his nose really bad on carriers when he goes to the vet so I'm less inclined to take him because I don't want to stress him so much. This is a great alternative and it's almost like a thunder coat!
tstarmac- if you could make a video to show how you put them in there...that'd be awesome!
I’m impressed to find a product review WITH personalized feedback from company. 👏🏻
I'm impressed with how well those cats did. I clicked on this video expecting bloodshed, now I'm more convinced that I could actually use this product.
Lol yes thankfully no bloodshed! Hopefully it works for you and your cats
I agree. I thought it went as well as can be expected. I tried a cheaper and smaller on of one of my cats to pill him but it easier just to pill him because it was difficult getting him in and keeping his paws in
I tried one of these and when I was just testing, it didn't work well, but later when I really needed to take a cat to the vet, I managed to get it on him okay (with some protest by the cat) but then he calmed down and did beautifully. Using the bag, I was able to transport him, medicate him, and give him fluids which would have been impossible without it. The vet called my cat "fractious" but in his bag he's not like that. It's so much easier to treat him when he's in his bag. I love the thing and will use them for all my cats from now on. It truly saved my baby's life.
Oh, and I found that when he pulled his head inside, he did okay like that too. It was easy enough to get the hole back over his neck if I needed to give him a pill or something, but in the meantime just for transport, he was fine whether his head was inside or out. I also don't think it was a problem if he got one paw out the neck hole, so long as he couldn't slip completely through it, as your cat did.
Letting him get used to the bag and getting it to smell right helped a whole lot, too. I have it lying flat near his bed and he likes to sleep on top of it. I think smells matter a whole lot to a cat, so once it smelled right to him, and he got used to having it put on him, he fought much less. No carrier or confinement is going to be fun for a cat, because they like self-determination. But this one is the best of any I've ever used. And the benefit of being able to give medicine and fluids with it makes it priceless to me.
Thanks for sharing your story with the bag, Tatiana! That makes a lot of sense about getting it so that they smell right to them and having them become more familiar with it. Did you find in the car ride to the vet that your cat flopped around in the bag at all? That's the other thing that concerned me, when Howard almost fell off the couch from flopping around when I left him alone for a minute
I'm disabled so I hired someone to carry him to the vet once he was bagged, and the vet and I spoke by phone. I believe the cat transport lady put my kitty in the floorboard area of her back seat, though, so that no flopping around could harm him. I also think you can pass the seatbelt through the handle of the bag to secure the cat in the seat itself (if you want them better cushioned than they would be on the floor). So it wasn't a problem. The vet did also agree that he was much easier to treat when he was inside the bag still. They used to say he was "fractious", but he was only scared. The bag makes him feel safe, so he's much more cooperative both at home and at the vet's office.
Good to know, thanks!
I've had two of these, 2 different sizes, for over 10 years and found this to be the best carrier. I've used it with at least five different cats and once they got used to it, they traveled well. You do have to tighten the neck enough so that they cannot get a paw out. I just took a cat that showed up a few months ago, not completely feral, but an outside cat, and took her to the vet. She did really well. The vet was able to give her shots, take blood, etc, safely, while she remained in the bag. So much nicer than a carrier since you can hug your kitty while you're waiting and she can look out the window while traveling. These are great!
That's great to hear your experience with it!
This is hilarious! Love the humor. Thank you for this light-hearted example of how different cats respond. I still think it's a brilliant idea. Anything would be better than a barf-o-rama in the cat carrier that I go through each time!
Glad you enjoyed it, Jennifer, it was pretty funny for me to watch back while I was editing as well :) Oh no, a barf-o-rama situation sounds awful! Your cats don't barf when you put them in the bag, though? That's so interesting
All ur cats are gorgeous but the last one takes the cake sooo adorable. Looks like my cat😍😍😍😍
Awww thank you!! You can't make me happier than complimenting our family cats haha!☺️
You're saying it didn't work, however considering that you never gave the cats time to acclimate to the bag in any way (leaving it out so they could sleep on it, smell it, etc.) it looks like they all handled it pretty well. Watching your video makes me realize that I would want to open the velcro collar before getting the cat near the bag. That noise would be super loud right next to your cat's ear. I know what I'll be getting for my fur-babies.
I tried the familiarization. She didn’t go for it
My cat would never go for that. I wouldn't even try. It would be a worse disaster than the Titanic. Love your cats and their names.
Haha it's good to know for sure without trying, saves you from the troubling of order and returning! Aww thanks very much :)
That was exactly what I expected from this product! I just saw the ad today, and found your video while attempting to view the ad again. LOL great video!
Thanks for watching! :) If you have kittens, I definitely think you can get them used to it and maybe even enjoying it, but for my older cats they definitely weren't having it haha
I smiled all through the video!! Your cats are beautiful but they would never make it to the vet in this carrier. Cute trick with your Mom. Hope you all have a great day.
Thank you Mari!! I think they're just the cutest little creatures too, thanks for recognizing their beauty :)) Yes, they would never make it to the vet if we tried to actually travel with them haha! Hope you have a great day too!
This is truly one of the most realistic and fun reviews Ive seen. Thank you for an honest share! And you are all so delightful. Of course the kitties are the stars . * And yes we can tell they are so loved even if a wee bit perturbed in the moment 😆❤️😉❤️
Yes, the kitties are always the stars in our house! 😸 😸 Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!
We have a cat in a bag and though our PB didn't much appreciate it, it still is nicer than a carrier as I was able to be able to reach over when driving to the vets and touch my cat as he was seat belted through the handle of the bag to the passengers seat as well as being able to hold him in my lap while in the waiting area. Unfortunately we lost just Chubs due to Cancer. If and when we have another cat we will definitely use the cat in a bag. As with many creatures each cat is unique and has his/her own set of gifts some will adapt easier than others.
Thanks for sharing your experience with it, Kathleen. I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of Chubs 💔
hahahaha awww this was so cute but also i was cracking up at their faces hahaha
Haha those were some pretty unhappy faces! Thanks Maria! :))
OMG XD Their little heads sticking out made me laugh! haha Baby Cat was like nope! Not today haha SO CUTE!!
Crystal Valenzuela lolll! That is EXACTLY what Baby Cat was like haha!
It's to bad there are so many negative comments on here about the "Cat in The Bag" carrier. It allows me to give better care and hygiene to my cats with much less trauma. I'm one that do my 3 cats nails once a month and do there teeth several times a week. I couldn't do this without the cat in the bag carrier. I make sure when I'm done with them I loosen the neck a little and throw some of their favorite food in and just let them eat and chill out inside of the bag. The bag is out all the time for them to interact with when not in use. Going to the vets is also easier instead of making 3 different appointments I now only need to make one and put the cats on my shoulder and walk them in the vets like that. It's a game changer.
That's wonderful that the cat in the bag carrier has been a real game changer for you and your cats!
This was actually very helpful (and enjoyable). I anticipate a “Howie” reaction.
Thanks so much!! :)
Thanks for the laugh!! Informative and fun! You are so sweet with the kitties and your mom was great! I wish I knew your family as I am a big cat lover myself. Thanks for the review!
Ahh I bet that we would get along great as fellow cat lovers! Thanks so much for your kind comment, Laura!!
That was awesome! I didn't think just any cat, would take to one of those bags haha!
Haha thanks for watching! They have a money back guarantee if you do end up wanting to try it
Thanks for sharing. Lots of ads for this popping up for the holidays. You know what actually works? The top of your kennel probably pops off & on fairly easy with just a few latches.
Remove & DROP Kitty in, instead of forcing through the front door. Then reapply the top. It may help to have a second person, but I’ve done this myself many times.
I suspect there will be a lot of folks with buyer’s remorse RE this product, as it’s a common challenge for all cat owners - this just isn’t the solution.
If they start making kitten bags, you could probably get your babies acclimated early - but that’s a whole lot of forethought for people who maybe never owned cats.
And for most cats this does not look like less stress than a Kennel IMHO. Good demo.
howie is a 20-pounder omg??!!!! i was so scared that the cats might scratch u.. your dad is hilarious with his PETA comment! and opie is soooo cuteee!!!!!
Hi thanks for posting this informative and helpful review. I’ve just purchased one of these. I wished I’d checked out any reviews first. I’m pleased to also see instructions posted on how to use. Our cat is quite nervous but inquisitive so it will be interesting to see how she gets on with this.
I'm very curious to hear how it goes, will you fill me in once you try it? Hope that it works out well for you and your cat!
hehe! This was so funny to watch😂
Don't think they liked that bag...haha! Awe...I want a little kitty now too☺️
//Maria
Haha no they didn't love it, unfortunately :/ Thanks for watching, Maria! I hope you can get a kitty soon. These are actually my parents' cats, so I'd like a little kitty of my own too :)
3:22 to 4:40 LMFAO
MOTHER STOP LAUGHING😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lolll I laughed so much while editing this, I'm glad you got some laughs out of it too haha!
Thanks for reviewing this product. We have nine cats (including one named Howard!), and there have been one or two times when we've had to take as many as 4 to the vet at the same time. My husband and I are aging, and cannot carry two cats in one carrier anymore; but with one cat per shoulder, we can manage four at a time. I think only Jumoki, who fights everything, and Junior, the former semi-feral, might fight the bag. Ace, Boq, Pertwee, and Oreo would like it, I think; while Thea, Colleen, and Howard would put up with it.
Aww I love that you have a Howard in your family too :)) You should make a video yourself, showing for all your different cats react! I think it really does depend so much on a cat's personality, background, and age.
It really work y'all but how you approach the cat and place him in and you got to be calm and not dying of laughter like she is for this to work the cat has to trust you and your energy so take it seriously be quite when doing it be quick so don't joke around and giggle and your cats will love it mine like it so much they go into by themselves.
Her laughter, I believe, helped. If you're too business like or serious or even nervous, the cat INSTANTLY picks up on that and gets upset too. They take their cues from us. If you remain calm and reassuring the cat seems to work better with you. I learned this through trial and error and the vet teaching us things. If you get upset, I think the cat feels there is something to fear. Anyway, I think her laughing and good attitude helped.
That is pretty cool love the color too, i think your cat loves it, for a while but he said mommy let me go! hahahahaa so adorable
Lol there were definitely some 'let me go' moments haha! Thanks for watching, Marites!
Your cat is soooo adorable. Really fun to watch!
XposedMemories thanks so much :)
Omgosshh I love this video!! I was laughing so much!! HAHA!! I loveee cats! I only have one. My cat would of probably jump out like the baby cats haha! liked#14
:)) I'm so glad it made you laugh, I was cracking out while editing it, especially during Baby Cat's attempt!
Cracking *up* haha! Idk what cracking out would even be..
My cat was recently prescribed a med in tablet form. It is to help control chronic diarrhea he has suffered for years & that makes him very skinny; dangerously skinny. He will need to take it for as long as he lives and I expect that to be years more. I think a bag will make it easier to get the pill down him. I think he will be more at ease if we don't fight over it as we have been since he started taking the med a couple of weeks ago. It was helpful to see how you got the cats into the bag. THANKS!
Yes, I agree that this seems like it could be very helpful for giving cats their pills. I hope it helps you and your cat!
Joe and I were cracking up watching this. Nutmeg would 100% jump through the head hole too. I don't think we'll be investing in this cat carrier bag any time soon haha.
Mollie Rose haha I'm glad it made you both laugh, I was cracking up during certain parts while editing. Definitely did not turn out the way I'd hoped!
That was funnyyyyy and your mom was cracking me up!!!
Haha thanks so much for watching Leah :)
I love how you laugh each time. I couldn’t stop laughing!
Lol this video was so much fun to film because there were a lot of laughs during the process and also while watching it back during the editing process
That's actually a good bag for giving cat's medicine as their paws are out of the way. I use my pillow cover but you have is even better :--))
Yes I haven't tried using it to give medicine but I think it would be good for that!
Great editing! Your timing kept me laughing, and I don't even have a cat.
Thanks so much Dannie! It was really funny for me to edit, so I'm glad it made you laugh too. :)
Your kitties are simply adorable! Annually, we have to crate our cat for her shots and she does NOT like it. This time, I'm gonna try the burrito theory.
Thanks so much, Jean! I hope that ends up working out better for you, let me know how it goes!
@@LeighAnneMarie Hi, Leigh-Anne Marie! Well, we decided to just put her in the bathroom and have the vet come to our home. We have a few in our area that do this. It's not cheap but I was so afraid of struggling with her and inadvertently hurting her back legs in the process of getting her in the crate. I put a soft towel that she's used to in the sink and she just sits there waiting. In the beginning, she yowls and I have to leave the house and let my husband stay with her. It hurts to hear her. I know it's that she doesn't like it but it sounds awful and I just want to let her out. Anyway, the vet came and gave her all her shots and an exam, trimmed her nails and luckily she got a stool sample. Everything is fine. The vet said she's in great shape. She's over 10. I estimate her to be around 12 or 13 so she's a senior. I'm so glad it's done but she's and in/out cat and must have all her shots. She was feral when we met her. One evening I heard this crying and went to look and I saw her crying up at the house. I said, hey, hon, there's a cat crying up at the window! We fed her and from that day on, she's ours. Some lady with two little boys came to our house looking for her so I said, well, she's here if you want her but she wasn't interested. I thought the cat should be with her rightful owner but this lady actually had her spayed. This lady also was letting her mother breed all over the place. Well, she went and had a brood of kittens in our back yard and the cat we took in was so upset that her own mother would not entertain her anymore with new kittens. She refused to eat. My husband was angry and hurt as I was because it's not fair to all these cats. Someone went to the authorities and they made this lady stop letting these cats breed. My husband had to spend $160.00 to have someone take the mother AND her kittens to a shelter. We made sure that they would be treated nicely and allowed to be with the mother until they could be adopted. I cried alot. As soon as her mother and her kittens were gone our cat settled down and was okay. We love her dearly. Anyway, thank you for listening and thank you for the video. I guess you already know I'm a cat fan! XXOO
Lol love your cats so much so jelly you have 4 cats! Need to try this to be able to take my cats to the vets because we literally have to carry them ahah
Izzy K oh my gosh, if we tried to just carry them to the vet we'd definitely get scratched (we usually do a crate), yours must be better behaved than ours haha! I hope the carrier ends up working out better for your cats than mine!
That was hilarious and informative! I think I’m gonna have to get a couple of those bags for our cats!
Lol glad you enjoyed! :)
All I can say about the bag... Nope. Crates are nope also...
But a carrier with netting all around it, my friend's cat loves it, he can move freely in it and look all around including look up at my friend while she walks...
The one she haves is comfortable to carry, haves a long strap that goes around her body plus two smaller straps to hold in her hands. A solid padded bottom so he can lay or sit comfortably, plus when she sits it down he isn't being put on anything hard or uncomfortable for him. Flaps that are clear, you can zip up in case it rains and he can still look out and not get wet, it's breathable when zipped up.
That's very interesting, do you know what the carrier with the netting is called? I've never seen that before but would like to try it out on our cats!
What is the name of this carrier? Sounds great.
@@LeighAnneMarie So sorry I didn't get back to you until now.I didn't even know I had this message.I wasn't getting notifi about it.Sorry, but there's more to it because when you sit it down.There's zippers on the side that you can open it and you'll have two small rooms so they can have more room to relax in.
@michelledemers1965 I forgot what it's called sorry but Also have two compartments in it It zips on the side and you can extend the bag for them To be more comfortable and have more room.You can find it On probably amazon or even go to a pet store they might have one. My auto correct is messing with me. It is getting hard for me to write something, and it keeps changing my words. Incidentally, since I posted this about 7 years ago.The bag is still in use.Today, it still lasted this whole time.
Those are the best cat names - Howard, Wallace, Opie...LOL. I don’t know about actually transporting my cat in it, but I think it would be PERFECT for trimming her claws!
Haha thanks :) Yeah some people have commented that that's exactly what they use it for and it works out well for them!
AWWWWWW!! They are so cute! At least you got them in there. If you can't keep them in that, then at least getting them in the bag, you can then place them in a crate and then they can't escape plus the vet will put them back in the box to take back home. VERY cute though! Our cat is much more feisty. I saw this one vet take a pillow case and put the cat in and then crate him. We have to take our cat to the vet this Saturday and I'm terrified to get her in the crate because, well, let's face it, you only get one shot at it and then the cat knows what you're up to and wants to run.
Thanks Jean! :) That's a good point, it would be helpful for getting them in a crate, especially if they're not familiar with the bag (ours often automatically make themselves scarce when they see the crate come out haha). Good luck getting your cat to the vet, hope it all goes smoothly!
Thank you for the well wishes. I appreciate that. XO
I have a cat named Baby, too! : ) His sleep schedule was different than his siblings. He would be awake and lonely. So would hold him...like a baby.
Awww that's the sweetest story!! ❤️
This is a great video! 😍💕 such a cutie pie😻❤️
Thanks so much! 😺
That was hilarious. Poor Howie! 😂 The only reason I wouldn't buy this carrier is because there are airport approved ones for the same price and id rather have something like that when traveling
😂😂 ahh interesting, I didn't realize there were specific ones that airports had approved
Thank you very much for the review and demonstrations! I was thinking of getting one, or more. I have 7 cats. 🙀 I have a small animal sanctuary in my home. I will be passing on this now, my cats are all grown as well. Thank you for sharing! 😻
Thanks for watching Cristina, glad this was helpful for you! That's so awesome that you ran an animal sanctuary from your home!!
Just wanted to let you know, I got her in the crate. She lets me handle her and pick her up but not for long. I picked her up and carried her to the carrier and as I was placing her in, she began to struggle, FAST. My husband came over and helped me remove her paws from the outside and quickly close the top. She was in there! She was screaming on top of her lungs though. The must've heard her in Japan! I cannot stand when she cries. I kept telling her, you'll be right back! It didn't take long, my husband took her there while went to a 24hr. diner and cried and cried until I was exhausted, worrying about her. Finally at a little after 9:00am my husband phoned and said she's done and I'm on my way home with her. I was ecstatic! I stood on the front stoop and helped hold the door while he carried her in the house. We lifted the top and she just stayed in crying. My husband lifted her out and placed her on the floor. She immediately headed for the back door to be let out. She stayed on the deck, looking in the window meowing. I went on the deck and she was meowing and we call it "blooping" where she flops on her back looking for a belly rub. After a while she calmed down and I fed her and gave her water. She fell asleep on her favorite spot on the deck. I was so happy it was over. Anyway, she's QUICK! Before I could even think, she already was struggling so fast but I kept my grip on her, front and back. I do know how to handle cats since I've had many through the years. Thank you for posting about yours, it kind of gave me courage. XO
Loved this video!😁 Was smiling and laughing the whole time! 😂 As a cat Mom of 8- yes 8! I was curious if this would help our vet trips be less traumatic, but after seeing a real- life demonstration of the bag, I’m thinking not so much, lol ! Maggi is our little escape artist and would be out the head opening in 1.2 seconds flat😂 Thanks for the information and you all did a great job! Kudos to Mom & Dad also and of course the stars of the show- the kitties 😸👍🏼🐾🐾
Thank you so much for your kind comment!! I'm so sorry that I missed it. TH-cam just changed the formatting on the back end to show me comments that I haven't replied to and I saw this. That's so amazing that you have eight kitties. And I'll pass along your kudos to Mom & Dad & the kitties 😸
Howie is such a beautiful kitty- i love tabbies- opie is like my orange boy 🍊🐱🐾- i laughed till i cried at howie having his tantrum though 😂😂😂😂
Isn't Howie handsome?! Thanks so much 😊 he is a very vocal boy who is prone to temper tantrums lol!
I need to give my cat sub-cutaneous fluid and keep them still, so that might actually be helpful for someone to hold them quietly. Thanks for the review.
Thanks Meg, I hope it works and that your cat feels better soon!!
Oh my god this is amazing! Howie was having absolutely none of it haha
Your mum makes a good point, maybe they need to get used to it then they're young, but also if you kept taking them to the vet in it maybe it would just create more of a negative association? idk
Also I have fallen in love with all your cats
Lol Howie is VERY vocal about how he's feeling and he really was not having it! That's a good point, it probably would have that negative association with it then. The way they advertised it made it seem like the cats would think of it as a cozy, comforting cocoon but that was unfortunately not our experience with it....awww yay, I love them so much so I'm glad you love them too :)
oh my god this made me laugh! I never heard of this! its cool to see :)
I've owned one of these bags for several years and my cats love them.
Nice! How old were they when you introduced you to them? I think ours would have been more open to it at a younger age.
My Misook is 17 now and I think we first introduced her to it when she was about 12.
This was so entertaining I loved it 🤣🤣
Thanks so much, Ines! :)
I think they did pretty well, actually. They weren't thrashing, screaming, or actively trying to get away from you. Like some others have said, if you had tightened the neck and given them time to acclimate to it, I think they would have been fine.
Well, they didn't know what was coming and they trust me, so I didn't expect them to try to get away from me. I don't know if it would've been the same if I'd tried to put them in a second time. Maybe they could have acclimated over time, but there was thrashing with Howard and Wally that you can see in their parts of the video that concerned me. I couldn't imagine actually taking them to the vet in it because of the wiggling around and struggling to get out of the bag - if they had been in the car doing that while I was driving to the vet, they'd be quite distracting as well as potentially hurting themselves with the effort. Like I said at the end of the video, I think it would've been better to introduce them to it at a younger age so that they just always would have been used to it.
I have no words 😂😂😂
My cats are definitely too old to even bother.
Lol :) Thanks for watching!! xo
Thanks for video. It was helpful and funny. Your mom is too funny.
Thanks so much Cherisse!
Hilarious!!! I got a different brand and didn’t come with instructions. I’m here looking for how to use it. This is tooo funny!!! The second one is my baby girl. The first one is my daughters cat. So I can’t wait to try this.
I hope it works well for you! :)
omg this was sooo cute and funny!!! I want one of these to try hahaha
Thanks! :) You should try it out!! I'd be so curious about how other real cats react (because when I looked at their promotional videos before I bought it, the cats were very calm and didn't have a problem with it, unlike mine haha).
My cat just DIED this morning after being in the bag for 3-4 minutes! She crawled in voluntarily but didn't really like it once I zipped it. Last night I noticed she had a little trouble breathing, but then this morning she was fine, but I still wanted to take her to the vet just to make sure.
Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry for your loss!!
This was hilarious, and actually pretty helpful!
Haha wonderful! :)
Thank you for the demo!
Dx the entire point of making this bag is that they’re supposed to like it! Or like it more than a carrier at least. In a carrier they can at least move around but this bag makes them either sit still or get stuck on the inside of the bag.... idk. It was a good idea but I don’t think it works for all cats.
Agreed, I like the idea but definitely not suitable for all cats. I think if you introduce them to it at a younger age, it'd be much more likely to work.
You guys crack me up! Thank you I think this beg not for our nervous, spoil monkey:)
:)) glad you enjoyed!
My goodness those cat don't look so thrilled after trying them😵😵
I can't zip his butt in😂😂😂
Hehehe 😂😂
This confirmed my expectations that many cats will not like it and will work to get out of it, if they can. Way too risky for thin energetic cats. I'd hate to see a cat get out in a very bad location for them to get out and run away or get hurt.
LOL! Very helpfull video. I would have the same concerns as you have (start panicing while driving). We always use a top loader travel crate for our cats. This way you don't have to push them face forward into hell ;)
Oh that's a great idea, will try getting a top loader travel crate!
@@LeighAnneMarie I could never get my cat in a carrier, I read a few tips, tried them and have success 99% of the time. I bought a larger carrier, tip it upside down (opening at the top) put a light blanket over the hole then when she is sleeping I pick her up and pop her in feet first, she doesn't even know what's happening it's so fast. Of course the carrier is close to where she is sleeping so you don't have far to go....lol. I was thinking of getting one of these pouches as it would be great for trimming her nails however she is fast and furious and would take off the minute I even "tried" putting her in it. Every cat is different.
Laughed so hard! 😂😂😂😂😂
Haha glad you enjoyed Deepa! :)
Great product and video I love it for giving meds syringe feeding too. Everyone should get a small and medium sized. Another idea put rubber mat on table top put cat in faster. Than bending on a couch especially for older people or people with with back problems. Remember it’s not only for transportation to vet but for giving meds performing your own vet healing tasks. She did not do it right use a table and a rubber mat any cat young or senior will get use to it.
I agree with you + the Velcro ZZZiPPPP sound would freak out my cats. Mt cats are fine in a carrying case with a plush towel to envelope their bodies.
Ooh that's a great idea to add in a plush towel, I'll do that in the future!
So cute, I loved it!
Thanks Rahannah! :)
Thank you for the video as I was hoping it would work for my 20 pounder. I don’t think it’s for me 😍
Thanks for sharing lol. My cats don't even like to be HELD, so I'm sure that would be a blood- drawing battle. I bought the cat harness to take them for a walk, and my cat did a crocodile roll , escaped, and was on a three day lam before I finally lured her back home. I better stick with my cloth crate with sherpa bedding. Cats are weird😂😂😂
😂😂 yes, sounds like the cloth crate with sherpa bedding is the best bet!!
Very fun and good video, thanks 😁👍🏻
Thanks so much, Alison! 😁
Those are sweet cats!
They are the sweeeetest! Thanks for watching Caroline :)
I just got one of these, didn't go too well! I have to restrain him somehow so I can give him subcutaneous fluids though.
Yeah it does seem like it would be good for helping administer medicines where they don't like it but at least it gets the job done!
OMG, I laughed so hard I think I peed my pants!
😹 😹 😹
Once I was thinking of buying it, but before I pressed the Purchase button, I saw my cat giving me the look like "Don't you f*cking dare!" The look was worse then Titanic itself
That's hilarious! I've definitely gotten those looks from our cats before - you don't want to cross them haha!
Lol thank you for the heart =3=
Haha anything funny has to get an immediate heart
Poor kitties they really did not like this lmao Love this!
This is so funny! 🤣
Glad you enjoyed :)
My sister got the bag and tried it wil her kitties 🐈⬛🐈⬛, they were not havin it either!
This is so interesting 👌 i love cats ❤️
Thanks for watching Cristina!

Thanks for watching! :)
4 cat owners represent 😂 I love my 4
Lol having a little family of cats is the BEST!
My cat will be like the no 4 cat, he would put up a fight
Yeah Howie was NOT pleased haha!
Leigh-Anne Marie your cats are beautiful, opie looks like my cat 😻 dave
Does anyone know what fabric they are made of? Can their nails get through it and scratch you and does the fabric get pulls in it?
I'm not sure of the fabric, but their nails couldn't get through it while we were testing it. I'm not sure if the fabric would get pulls in it over time
@@LeighAnneMarie wow thanks for the quick reply😊
I also named my cat baby "Kat" he is about 16 human years old now though, and doesn't like anything but me, and now I call him "do," short for "whayadoin" and he answers to everything, but that's my "do"
Aww Kat sounds like a lovely cat. That's really funny about his "do" nickname. We unfortunately lost our Baby Cat toward the end of last year (I put a tribute video up of him on my channel) but he was really a special addition in our lives for the time that he was here with us
😀love it. Great review
Pages And Polish thanks!! :)
Sorry but I did laugh a lot
Lol glad you enjoyed it Teresa!!
Lol, this is so cute. 😘
My cat is cool with everything. I can put it where ever I want and it doesn't mind. That's what will happen if your cat grows up with two little children. Now my kids are older (10 and 12) and my cat is 7 years old but I can still carry it like a rag doll and it's totally cool about it.
I'd love to have such a relaxed cat that I can carry around like a rag doll!
You are supposed to tighten the Velcro strap around their neck, leaving a finger’s width space. lol
That bag doesn't wortk and your cats are patient. interesting video.
Yes, they are patient good boys! Thanks for watching, Marina
My cat would shred me! Lol
Haha yeah you gotta beware of that!
Lol I don't think my cat Simba would let me put him in anything like this. xD
Lol no I think you have to put them in it when they're kittens to get them used to it young or otherwise they react very unhappily like my cats haha!
Whenever I have to take my cat to the vet I usually put a cat harness on and just carry her. she's much happier in the car and outside of the car.
Do you ever take her for walks? I'd love to get a cat harness someday and see if any of the cats would go walking with me. For the vet specifically, though, sur cats get pretty stressed going to the vet, so I'm afraid they might scratch us if we were carrying them in a harness...
Cute Cat😍
Aren't they cute?! Thanks :)
Opie! That was a trick? 😻
Yesss it was!! Isn't Opie so cute? We all love when he does that little trick :)
Thank you 😉💗💞
You're welcome, hope this video was helpful for you!
@@LeighAnneMarie yes 😊😉😇💞😸
You have beautiful lovely cats
Thanks very much, they're wonderful :)
This video is hilarious. While it looks like a pretty good idea - a riff on the purrito (kitty wrapped in a towel or blanket with just their head out} I am pretty sure my 12 year old lady (see avatar) would kill me in my sleep if I put her in one of these. (Even with her thunder shirt on.)
Lol I do like a cute kitten wrapped in a blanket, but yes, I think older cats like ours just don't adjust to this bag well unfortunately. I've never tried a thunder shirt on a cat before (I think my sister's dog might have one) - is that just to help keep them calm and does it work?
Even trying to put my cat into a bag would be very painful, at least for me.
Yes I think probably most cats wouldn't like it...
