Cat carriers are a must for the cat owner. They are a means of safely transporting your cat (for example to the vet or a boarding cattery), by keeping it secure.
A cat should always be placed in a cat carrier while transporting it, especially in a car. An unrestrained cat in a vehicle is a danger not only to himself but the driver and other road users and pedestrians.
Carriers come in three basic types:

Carriers come in three basic types:
- Cardboard carrier
- Soft carrier
- Hard carrier
- Cardboard carriers can be used as an emergency, but they really aren't very strong and can easily break. They may be okay to use when transporting a kitten, but should be avoided unless absolutely necessary in older/heavier cats. As cats can often be stressed when being transported, they may also urinate or defecate, which would weaken or destroy the cardboard.
- Hard carriers have the advantage of being easy to wash if there is an accident. But they can be bulky.
- Soft carriers take up less storage room, so may be of benefit in households where there are several cats.
