I like this carrier. It appears well made with lots of mesh around the top and a removable soft bottom. It opens from the top which works for letting a curious kitty explore the bag in her own time. One thing to be aware of, my kitty is well less than 10lbs, but can not stand up inside this bag when closed. I don't see this as a problem as she can relax and nap in the bag when traveling. We also have an adult blue tongue skink that can travel safely in this bag.
