Dont think much of the use it as a cat carrier bit, one bop through the cat flap and crazed cat is gone. Bit of clear plastic is nothing when faced with the needle man   :scared:

My worry would be Xanthe would move me into the catpod and keep the house all for herself!  :rofl:

They look a great idea for cats that go out though!

you can also do a similar thing with a big insulation box that you store frozen food in. These are sometimes given away free (freecycle). They are better for insulation but need to be weighed down!

DO NOT BREED OR BUY WHILE SHELTER ANIMALS DIE

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Cats are like little bundles of razor blades wrapped in soft fur.

Maybe some people remember a while back I found this on the internet. He said they weren't commercially available. He had looked into get them made but the backer dropped out. He sent me another email yesterday with a "new improved" version you can make yourself. He gave me permission to post on purrs.
