Whether you're taking your feline along for a spring weekend trip or dragging him to a dreaded vet visit, a great cat carrier can mean the difference between a pleasant journey and a fur-flying fight.
To help you transport your cat with ease, comfort and style, our friends at Zootoo rounded up some of their favorite carriers to lighten the load for pet owners and smooth the trip for their felines.
For a cat carrier that is both cozy and stylish, try the SturdiTote Pet Carrier from Sturdi Products. Available in a range of colors, from sleek black to eye-catching electric blue, the SturdiTote features a foam core base for stability and comfort, as well as a machine-washable fleece pad. The SturdiTote also offers a seat belt safety strap for additional security during car trips and is designed for seamless in-cabin air travel.
Keep your cat protected in transit with the durable Double Door Deluxe Pet Carrier from Petmate. The carrier's tough plastic exterior is a snap to clean, and the door latches are simple but secure. Owners of skittish cats will appreciate the top-loading option, which makes it easier to load and unload felines who haven't yet warmed to the idea of traveling in a carrier. Also, the Petmate carrier is approved by most airlines.

This past weekend, Paw Nation visited the American Kennel Club's "Meet the Breeds" event at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City. Packed wall to wall with dogs, cats, breeders, specialists, merchants, and veterinary professionals, the weekend-long showcase featured hundreds of extremely patient animals, ready to be pet for hours on end.
Some famous faces were there, including Whoopi Goldberg, Mario Lopez, and Cindy Adams. We're pretty sure we even passed fashion icon Michael Kors after we finished up at the Havanese booth, one of 160 stations occupied by specific breeds and their respective specialists, all of whom were eager to provide the history behind their beloved pooch of choice.
Amid the amazing dog-trick demonstrations and swarms of cat ladies (no, literally, there were a lot of ladies dressed up like cats), we were lucky enough to stumble upon a booth for the Fundle, a pet sling we've been eyeing for a number of months. We're happy to report that the Fundle is even better than we imagined.
Hope to see you next year, Meet the Breeds! You'll be able to tell it's us by the Fundle we haven't taken off in 365 days.

The Sleepypod, which starts at $140.00, works equally well for both cats and dogs, and functions not only as a carrier and a bed, but also as a secure car seat that can be buckled in for the safest transport of your beloved pet.
My dog loves her Sleepypod. Unlike the average rectangular-shaped pet carrier, the sturdy Sleepypod is round, with a plush lining that gives it the feel of a comfy little bird's nest, allowing your pet to curl up comfortably in a ball during transit. Plus, the round shape makes it easier to carry, and it looks cool to boot.
If you've ever tried to coax a kitty out of its carrier, you know that side openings can prove problematic. The Sleepypod's "door" opens from the top, allowing for easier entries and exits. Some cats may still spread those claws and resist, but I had a much easier time getting my cat inside the Sleepypod than I do into her Sherpa Bag. I am a huge fan of the luxe Sherpa line, but the Sleepypod's unique design allows for a less-stressful entry, exit and overall environment.
The one drawback? You can't take it on a plane -- yet. The company will be releasing a Sleepypod Air carrier, made specifically for in-cabin air travel, in December. I can't wait to find an excuse to try it out!
