- SEASON 1, EPISODE 4: May, 2018. Take a look at how we transport our cats on relocation days and the various carriers we tried. We'll show you how to set up a PetEgo Emanuele Bianchi design Pet Carrier. UPDATE!! Apparently the company that made this has gone out of business. Noooo!!! Best suggestion is to look for large dog carriers.
***********
Music: Epidemic Sound
You should start your own line of this, since the original is no longer being made. Put your own spin on it and make a small fortune! This is EXACTLY what all us cat owners have been searching for. Thanks for the video!
Hmmm....not a bad idea!
Can you provide a link? I cant find it anywhere with google
You’re the first that I’ve seen using the Breeze system. It’s so great, & I keep recommending it
Love that you have two black kitties!
They are so sweet! Love our boys! They were both rescues - Poki showed up on my dad's doorstep one night and the vet said he was only 4 weeks old. Shorti we adopted from PetSmart at 6 months old. His mother was a stray that was put in a foster home, where she then had her litter that included Shorti.
Although this video is older I’ve never seen any kind of carrier like this for my babies! I’ve been looking for months and watching loads of videos. THANK YOU!! This takes so much stress off my upcoming move.
Hope you are successful in finding a carrier that works for you. I actually found this one listed as being a dog carrier. I don't know why companies/people think that cats don't need space - especially for travel.
@@RemotelyRetired Indeed, moving across the country even. That's days of discomfort!
cool setup and carrier that thing... my furry face mouser would like that thing i think lots of room for him to bounce and move around in
That’s an awesome travel carrier! Lots of room for your kitties plus the litter box. We are considering one of those for our small dog to keep her more settled in between rest stops. Great video. New subbie here👍🏻 Thanks for sharing🤗
New to your channel, I have 2 rescue kitties but they don't like harness or carriers. I'm considering a RV to relocate and want them safe and healthy. This carrier looks like the best option. Thank you.
Best of luck in your relocation! Safe journeys!
Stumbled across your video, sadly they aren't selling any version of this anymore it seems - thanks for the the great video anyway!
This is fanatstic!! Thank you for sharing
Great video. I love the cat tents.
I'm so happy that my cat just sleeps on the parcel shelf.
OMG! Your comment above answered my question. I could not find this anywhere and now to learn they've gone out of business - NOOOOO! About to travel from Los Angeles to Houston TX with my kitty and this would have been perfect! Great video! I have the Tidy Cats Breeze system so hopefully it will fit in my Amazon basic car enclosure (very much like the one in your video that you used and didn't like) Wish me luck!
Best of luck to you!
My cats would have made a customized escape hatch within 20 minutes. I can imagine their claws, their terror, and my bleeding arms.
Huge thank you for sharing. Didnt know these existed. Sure will make travel pleasant ,thanks again....The Cats
Dear Cats: You are welcome! I hope your human(s) will be able to find this carrier or one similar to it to make your travels a little more tolerable. (perhaps you could ask for an iPad to watch movies and play games, too!).....Shorti and Poki
That’s a great idea, now I just need to figure out where my two 55lb dogs are gonna go.
We're about to move from Virginia to Maine and I got a big dog crate to put in my back seat. The cats will be sitting near my son so they aren't lonely and he will be able to pet and play with them. I'll be testing it out today to see how they both do lol
Sounds like quite an adventure! Good luck with the move!
A shorty this is your number one fan I love all your videos🐱 you are going to a new home make some more videos okay🐶🎬🎥
Thanks for the video. It would be wonderful if Center for Pet Safety crash tested one of those Kar 9 Tunnels. I have Petego's Pet Tube, and the restraining buckles failed in the CPS crash test. I'm guessing that the IsoFix system would stop it flying off the seat, but wonder how the rest would stand up to the weight of a couple of dogs
The bottom buckles do secure it pretty well, but it could be "iffy" with a couple of heavy dogs. Our primary concern with cats is keeping them confined in a space large enough for a litter box and to have room to stretch out. A crash test would be interesting and potentially beneficial, though!
Thanks for the response. Are the two IsoFix clips plastic or metal?
It crossed my mind that is those two clips are just hooked over rather than "clicked" in to the seat fitting - then is there a risk of them coming off during travel?
The clips are metal and they are the "click" kind (the loop closes on them). They will not come off on their own.
Thank you for the information. I read yesterday that Petego sold out to Quaker Pet Group (PG) in January 2018, which explains their not responding to Facebook or emails. QPG replied to an email and said that they have new carriers in the making, which will be crash tested - so that's a win for dog owners :)
Good to know! Thanks!
Thanks we already had it delivered!
Any recommendations on calming down two cats that don't like to travel?😾🙀
Where did you order it from??
Feed them treats daily during breaks or pet them
bona vida sells cbd for cats, that can help a lot if they are having troubles
@@truthhurts7529 where did you get the carrier. Can’t find it amywhere
I just wanted to say that i have had small pets escape from the Cadillac version of the long kennel/crate you have. The zippers can fail when pets push against them. I recommend them only for pets who enjoy vehicle rides and aren't a bolt risk when you park.
Oh no! I hope you were able to retrieve the pets safely! The only incident we've had is that Poki leaped out of the carrier as soon as I unzipped it a little bit to get him out and I happened to catch him mid-air! Thankfully he has not done that again.
Awesome video this was so cute. I couldn’t help but click on this video.
Yay! Thank you!
@@RemotelyRetired your welcome
This video was very helpful as I will be applying to medical schools within the next year (med school has a 5% acceptance rate on average so many people have to relocate). I have a two-year-old cat who hates traveling. I think this setup will be best for the both of us that way he has a litter box. Do you give your kitties any medications to ease their anxiety/nausea before the ride?
This particular carrier was discontinued soon after this video was released several years ago. :-( Too bad because it is a good one! It was actually sold as a dog carrier, but it worked great for us! So I recommend researching dog carriers since for some reason companies seem to think cats don't need much room. ??? DUH! And, no, we have never given the boys any anxiety meds. Poki loved to travel and Shorti mostly slept after he threw up a couple of times in the first 30 minutes.
We wish you the best of luck in your relocation adventures and in your career goals! Safe journeys!
You really sold this product well, I bought it straight after watching your video. You should create an affiliate link. I was looking for something like this for so long! Thank you!
Where did you find if ? What’s the name of it. I see the company but can’t find it .
While this seems cute and comfy for them, it doesn't seem very safe if there was a truck crash. They would be tossed about inside of a flimsy structure. Also, what if the truck broke down and needed to be repaired at a garage for several hours? What would you do with the cats if you didn't have carriers? My cats are not especially fond of their carriers but I would be reluctant to not have the carriers at least WITH me. Thanks for sharing your set up though. I will keep exploring options.
We still have individual carriers for them that we either have in the truck or in the Airstream. So we do have access to them in case we need to take a cat to the vet or something. Thanks for your concern!
strangely enough looking at that setup at 4:10 just makes all of my travel anxiety vanish. almost makes me want to be the size of a cat just to experience it or to have something of a 360 camera there
Looks so cozy in there, doesn't it? Happy travels!
Awesome! Thank you!
SO glad i saw your video! i was going to get that small carrier that was your 1st one. now i will definitely be getting a bigger one because i have 2 cats as well and we will be moving cross country in a couple of months!
Glad this was helpful! Best of luck with your move!
@@RemotelyRetired thank you!
This is great! Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
That's cool thanks
Oh my goodness I'm so excited it's year 2022 and I'm hoping that I can locate this online to purchase maybe one or two of them they're going to be traveling from California to Wisconsin so I definitely need this for my daughter to travel with also two you mentioned your kitty likes to play with hair ties scrunchies... I don't mean to sound mean but please please don't let your cat's play with those they can swallow them getting their intestinal tract and it's a certain death I know of three instances so I try to get that word out thank you so much for the great video
Thanks for your comments! I hope you are able to find a carrier or two that will work. This video was made several years ago and the carrier doesn't seem to be made any more. It was actually sold as a dog carrier, so that's something to keep in mind when looking. Also, my kitties stopped playing with hair ties a couple of years ago. Just lost interest (as cats do!). I appreciate the advice and concern, however. :-) Safe journeys!
Sox are cats 🙀😻😻😻😻👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
wholesome and loving to the kitties, i support
Fantastic video! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!
You are very welcome! Glad it helped. Safe journeys!
looks great but not so much if you have to travel with family
That is true! It does take up the entire back seat. Safe journeys!
My kitty needs a special food because he was sick and he still needs special food!
Fantastic!
That carrier was what we needed....Noooo!!
Where did you buy that n how much. Thank you for the idea. I have to move two cats from Idaho to Arizona.
The video was made in May of 2018 and the carrier was purchased a few months before on Amazon. I don't think this particular carrier is being made any more, but there are similar ones available on Amazon. I tried writing to the company to inquire, but did not get a response. This carrier was originally marketed as a dog carrier due to its size, so that would be something to check out.
I hope you can find something that will work for you, and best of luck on moving your kitties!
Fantastic!!!!!
Very nice. Is there a way to secure a water bowl?
Not built in to the carrier. I sometimes use a plastic bowl and put a little water in it so if it spills there is not a lot - although our cats are not interested in drinking while we're moving. We stop fairly often and offer them water at those times. Same with food. I have seen some "no spill" water bowls online but have never tried one.
I wonder if there is a similar design in America

Please give info on the name of the product and where to purchase it. Thank you!
There is info. on the product in the description below the video, but others have commented that this is no longer available (this video was made several years ago). The original company was PetEgo, and I don't think they're in business anymore. This is actually a carrier marketed for a large dog, so that's something to look for!
Can you share the link to purchase this. I can’t find it anywhere
Thank you for this video! I just adopted a friendly stray and will be traveling in a truck camper. This looks awesome. Do you let your cats play outside and if so how do you keep them safe?
No, we don't let them play outside. They have always been indoor cats.
Very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Great info. Thanks
Music is much louder than your voices!
So far, how have they adjusted to the RV lifestyle?
I have a deer head Chihuahua, that most of my other RV'rs in various places, are shocked I have a dog in my house (rig) because he doesn't bark (except when a squirrel gets to close to the rig).
I've been slowly toying with the idea of rescuing a WAY older female cat.
A lot of variables to consider. How often do you have to go to the vet?
Thanks for your comment! Our cats have adjusted pretty well, although they much preferred the running and jumping space in our previous rig, the 40' DRV. Now that we're in a 30' Airstream, they don't have as much room to run, but still manage to play.
As far as taking them to the vet - we have been fortunate to have healthy cats and only need to take them in for annual exams and shots. We've only had to board them once, when we went to Hawaii, and they seemed to do quite well in their kitty condo!
Sounds like you have a cute Chihuahua! Good luck with the decision to adopt a cat! Would be so adorable if the two babies would become pals!
Thank you!!!!
I have a question about the double carrier you used before you got this huge carrier. We are in need of a carrier for our one cat and his litter box. The carrier you briefly showed looks perfect for our needs. Do you happen to recall the name if it? Thank you
Great question and you are the first one to ask about that! It is a PawHut 39" Portable Soft-sided pet carrier. Looks like you can still get it on Amazon for $108.99. It was a little tricky to put together - or at least to zip both parts together, but it was a nice carrier. The Tidy Cats Breeze hooded box just fit in it, but it did take up one of those compartments. It would be a perfect size for one cat, though! Thanks so much for asking about this and I hope it works out for your kitty!
Our cats would have to be contained to GET TO the car/carrier.
Yeah, we have to hold on pretty tight and make sure there aren't any dogs or kids around during a transfer. And getting multiple cats in/out can be tricky! One time we opened the zipper and Poki came FLYING out! He was caught mid-air! Too bad we didn't get that on film....
Would this fit three cats and a litter box!
Yes, a third cat would fit. Our two have plenty of room. Happy trails!
Thanks!
Whats the length of the cat house??
Can you tell me the exact name of the that carrier?
It is by PetEgo and it was actually a dog carrier. I say "was" because it is apparently not available anymore. :-(
I’m traveling with my cat 18 hours! This will be his second long distance car ride. I can’t seem to find this on amazon. Please help!!
This video was made in 2018 and I know that Petego has changed the name of this at least one time since then, but now I'm not sure they make this exact one anymore. :-(. Here are a couple of similar ones, though, that might work for you:
www.amazon.com/Petego-Pet-Tube-Kennel-Large/dp/B000HVV3OE/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=petego&qid=1593048058&sr=8-2
(or you can search Amazon for Petego Pet Tube Kennel)
Here is another one that I had not seen before that may work for you:
www.amazon.com/SportPet-Seat-Crate-Kennel-Tube/dp/B07VSWLY3J/ref=sr_1_14?crid=3D3727CR99CFZ&dchild=1&keywords=petego+pet+tube+kennel&qid=1593048108&sprefix=petego+pet+tu%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-14
(or search Amazon for Sportcrate Car Seat Pet Crate)
I hope you find something that works for you. I'd be interested in hearing if you do!
Safe journeys!
whatis your litter box called and where did you get the traveling box?
Hello! The litter box is Tidy Cats Breeze, the hooded version. It uses pine pellets instead of regular cat litter. The pellets last a long time and they don't create dust. And it uses "diapers" to soak the urine. Check out the box on the Tidy Cats site. I get the pads from Amazon: AmazonBasics Cat Pad Refills for Litter Box. They work well and are much less expensive than the Tidy Cats version.
I got the cat carrier off of Amazon. I got it several years ago, so the name may have changed.

Cannot find: Petego K 9T Soft Car Tunnel Kennel as of Jan 20, 2020
I am anxious to purchase this exact item, new or used, and receive by EOW.
Have tried Amazon, Walmart, Ebay, Oriental Suppliers, etc.
Please help if you can.
Oh no! I just did some research on this myself and it looks like Petego was probably bought out by Worldwise. Discovered this when I decided to write Petego to find out about this product. As of today (1/20/20) there is still a similar one on Amazon:
www.amazon.com/Petego-Pet-Tube-Kennel-Large/dp/B000HVV3OE/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=Petego&qid=1579556352&sr=8-9&th=1
The difference being that this one is rounded where the one I have is squared. That video was made 2 years ago, and companies come and go and merge a lot these day. I checked several other sites as well and...nothing. This is such a great product! It went away and came back one other time, so maybe somebody will pick it up again. If I run across one, I'll post it here.
www.amazon.com/dp/B084H4GGY4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_8.SNFb5GAKVVQ
Cheaper option at $79 on Amazon
What is the name of this carrier,
It is/was PetEgo and it was designed to be a dog carrier. Apparently the company stopped making it not too long after this video. It has been a great carrier and I wish some other company would make one like it! Good luck in your search and please post something here if you find a good alternative. Safe journeys!
Do your cats have claws? I have 3 cats that still have claws. My only concern is that they would rip the material
Yes, our still have their claws. They have never tried to claw their way out of the carrier, though.
Declawing is inhumane, that's like having your knuckle taken off, some cat's will then develop bad behavior such as biting because they're natural defense has been taken from them.
Cats NEED their claws, just like our nails they can be clipped. Please read how inhumane declawing is
What type of litterbox is that?
It's a Tidy Cats Breeze. Check out our video review on it: Cat Boxes Are A Breeze
@@RemotelyRetired thank you! Planning on moving my cats 16hrs away next month and this was a very helpful video ♡ appreicate you guys a lot!
My two cats hate each other and would kill each other in one of these. I like the space. Mine would each need one of their own. Where do I order these?
I got it on Amazon, but they seem to have changed the name since I got mine. Try searching for: Petego K 9T Soft Car Tunnel Kennel.
@@RemotelyRetired thanks!
@@RemotelyRetired Thank you!!!
THANK YOU for adopting a black cat and for keeping your cats with you when you travel. Blacks cats have a hard time getting adopted, and only horrible people give up their fur babies.
I wish i wasnt car sick
👍👍👍👍👍👍the tiny litter box is so cool
It's actually a full size litter box! We use the Tidy Cats Breeze system with the hood. Love it!
