      ​@@AllAboutCatsYT These transparent bags/ carriers are confusing and stressful for cats. They are too exposed, cats like to hide especially when outside their territory. Plus this material is bad for the environment. This is only good for aesthetics but just stick to a normal mesh carrier. Why was it your number one?

    Good timing! A recent fire in my neighborhood got me here. I realized that in an emergency I don’t have an easy way to secure my cat. The usual carrier is not hands free and I can imagine in a house fire or any other type of emergency I need to be hands free and secure my cat on me. Not sure if there is an emergency style carrier but I’m thinking a backpack will be a good option.

    We have the Navigator. We purchaded after a couple years with a less comfortable cheap pack. Our cats appreciate the roominess of it. I love that it doesn't dig into my back (much more adjustablility). And, this one certainly feels like a more quality product. Our previous pack was damaged quickly by our cats trying to tear into the pockets for treats. This one, they have been able to unzip it to try to get to the treats I carry...but, this bag sustained zero damage in the process.

      I've found some reviews on the Your Cat Backpack website mentioned that the cord to clip your cat into the backpack isn't long enough for the cat to lie down. How do you find this feature is with your cat? Does it limit lying down only when the backpack is carried vertical on the back, as opposed to like a duffel bag?

    For anyone looking for an airplane safe backpack carrier!!
    I recommend the Mr. Peanuts Vancouver Series pet backpack for people with smaller cats/dogs! I purchased it a few months ago and have taken my cat out in in a couple of times. I am very happy with it and my cat seems comfortable with it too! It is airplane safe, which is the main reason I chose this particular carrier. I have not tested it out for air travel YET, but I might will soon. The quality seems pretty durable for regular use so far! It has 3 mesh windows, and two of them are entry points. The zippers don't have locks but are nearly impossible to push open from the inside of the carrier (I tested it myself). On the outside there's a water bottle carrying slot, a big zippered pocket, a tinier pocket, and a conveniently placed waste bag slot (which would be more helpful if I had a dog). It also comes with an extra strap and doubles as a regular carrier. Its not uncomfortable for me to wear and I usually wear it as a front pack so I could see my cat. she is about 8 pounds and can snuggly curl up in it. She can't fully spread out though- unless the backpack is on its side (in the regular carrier mode). The tether is long and attached to the bag low enough that she can move around comfortably with it attached to her harness. I will say that it might be too small for a larger cat. Luckily for me, my cat is soon to be 2 years old, so she probably won't be getting bigger any time soon! :)
    My biggest issue with it is that when its used as a regular carrier, the backpack straps kind of just dangle there. It's not too big of an issue though. Just a little bit annoying.
    It was $53 when I purchased it but the price may have gone up since then. They also sent a little travel water bowl as a present!
    I hope this helps someone out!!!

    This is not a backpack comment, but remember that video you did on the litter mats? The iPremio's I ordered are EXCELLENT! I ordered two of the largest ones and not only do they work as advertised, but they're so cushy that some of the cats like to use them as pads to just lay on! I've just ordered two more of the smaller ones for a couple of boxes in smaller spaces to see how they'll work out.

    I’m glad the Texsens was on your list! We bought it several months ago and we love it. Our cats are 10 and 13 lbs. and both fit comfortably inside. They easily get in or out through the side or the front openings and carrying it is comfortable enough.

    A slightly cheaper outdoors option would be the Kurgo G Train pet backback. I use it for my cat whenever we go for walks - I live in the city and my cat does not like crossing streets, so I carry her in the backpack until we’re in an area where she can walk on a leash. It has a good sized tether and tons of pockets, including a totally separate main pocket that won’t interfere with your cat’s space. When she was younger, I added a small pillow to the bottom so she could see out the opening, but now she fits perfectly. Very comfortable for the human to wear as well as it has a fully padded/adjustable waist strap.

    One you might want to look into is the one I bought: the Apollo Walker cat carrier. It is a backpack and I’ve found that it has all the features of that first one you mentioned but only $36 on Amazon. I love it for taking her in walks and she really seems to like it too. I’ve had it for over a year. I’m very happy how it sits, for her and for me. It has two pockets. Unzips four ways. Mostly I unzip the top and/or the sides. There is a lower front zip as well. The tether is a decent size. I extend it a smidge by hooking her short leash to her collar and the tether to the leash so when I stop and set down the backpack she can get out and move around a bit. She prefers to stay inside most of the time. At times she can get hot in it cuz it has a top zip mesh but I lay her blanket that lives in there over the top for shade. She likes the blanket for car rides cuz she likes to cuddle with it (cuz she hates being in the car). Thanks for this review. I think your number one choice is the same as mine. But this brand is much more budget friendly. Snd has most of the features of that first one.

    Thanks for posting a variety of backpacks. I wish I did more research on backpacks before purchasing our Sherpa Bubble Backpack. Right now, the Sherpa Bubble backpack meets our needs. It is perfect for our 13 month kitten who loves to go outdoors and hates duffle style carriers (he chewed through and tore apart a few of our duffle style carriers on long trips). Our kitten has not been tempted to destroy the Sherpa Bubble, probably because there is less mesh. I am concerned about using the Sherpa backpack in the summer. I am considering one of the backpacks with more mesh. I appreciate the test you did with the pocket knife. That is something that I need to consider when traveling with my 13 month kitten. I recently posted a video showing how my three cats (13 mos, 7yrs, 11yrs) reacted to the Sherpa Bubble. As always, I appreciate your review videos. So thorough and informative.

    Thank you for all your reviews!! Being a never before pet owner these are so helpful.
    I just got the gray mesh Texsens backpack that seems to be working well so far.. kinda wish I had ordered the version with cover flaps to keep the dander from flying around.
    The collapsibility feature was a selling point for me as I have a small space.
    Wish this bag had a way to secure the covered platform to the base- when it’s laying on its back the floor falls over. As a hack I’m using double stick tape to the bottom and sticking it to the safety leash - it won’t stay stuck to the surface of the base.
    Double zipper tags for all the opening would be nice.
    Would also be nice if the wide shoulder straps had more utility to it i.e. small pocket and/or key ring for keys, ID etc
    I’m training him to get used to traveling and planning to take him on the plane soon so I like that it’s airport approved and there’s a strap on the back to attach to rolling luggage. *fingers crossed*

      @@yesyeahyes1 nice..it’s such a significant level of comfort to travel with our kitties. Flying from one coast to the other and back was smooth for the most part. However I did find the width of the backpack didn’t really work for the aisle seats on all aircraft - if you can help it I don’t recommend the aisle anyway as the foot traffic is so close to their body. If you’re going through TSA you can request a private screening so they only scan the bag while you hold kitty. I padded the back with an egg crate cushion and a pee-absorbing mat wrapped with a thin old scarf just in case. Side pockets were perfect for miscellaneous ids etc. Good luck!

    I live downtown/ don't drive. Public transit is okay but depending where it can make more sense to walk. Our vet is an example and the hard carrier is a little awkward when the cat moves plus I have 2 cats. If I want to double up a visit I think it will be good to have a backpack for at least one but even solo I hope it is more comfortable for a 20min walk than the carrier

    I have the equivalent of the Mancrew backpack (without the expanding section) and the Voyager backpack for my two cats. I use them as just normal cat carriers for my cats.
    My first cat, Artemis, used to be incredibly anxious in the traditional carrier. It was really hard to get her in and out, and she would make a lot of noise while in it. But she doesn't fight getting into the Voyager style backpack and will even just right back in at the end of her vet appointments. It's not perfect. In particular, I'd prefer it to be sturdier, but she does so muc better in it than a normal carrier.
    The Mancrew style backpack works for my other cat, Aurora, because she is very wiggly and the large opening on top makes it easier to put her in. I don't think it's very comfortable to carry though, and it's rather flimsy. I do see the slouch forward thing that is demonstrated in the video. I also wish that it had top carrying straps that could hold the bag upright. I far prefer the Voyager style carrier to this one.
    Both cats are adult females who weigh about 8.5lbs.

      They seem so cool especially if you have a dog and cat that are close and the cat indicates that it would like to join in on the dog's daily walks.
      Also, it's often much more comfy for a cat to sit in a stroller. There's no jostling from the guardian's gate and they can sit, stand, lay and look around as they please.

    I purchased the Day Tripper backpack that holds up to 35 lbs. Where will I carry my cats? To the vet. :) I only purchased a backpack because my Maine Coon is too heavy for the hard plastic carrier I have. I needed something that could hold both of the cats' weights and this one fit that bill. It will be tight for both of them to be in there, but once a year they can do it. I tried walking with one at a time in it, but they freaked out. Kind of glad because it was hard on my back, especially him since he is almost 20 lbs.
    I had no clue there was a tether inside. Mine has a pocket for a water bottle and a second zipped pocket. I paid $60-$70, can't remember since I bought it last year. Seems to be well constructed.

    Our indoor Calico doesn’t go out at all. To carry her out to the motorhome when we ho on trips I wrap her in a small blanket(that has her smells on it), and it’s a fight until I put her in the rear on the bed. She is 14.5 yrs old. (Grade 4 heart murmur but no health issues). Would taking her out in a backpack just be way too stressful?

      I’m no expert but that does seems stressful for an older cat who doesn’t like to be moved or be outdoors. I don’t bring my kitty outside for this reason. She looks terrified :(

    I got the backpack like the third one you showed with the option of the bubble window or the screen. Unfortunately, it didn't come with instructions and I am not able to find any online. Everything looks the same as the one you showed. I saw that your window just screwed into place but mine will not and I don't know if pieces are missing or what. I got the backpack, the pad for the bottom, and the bubble window and screen. Was there another piece that I am missing?

    Thank you for this video. I find it hard to find a proper backpack for big cats, or even just any cat. Designers don't seem to understand cats. All the cats I know don't like to be constricted to sitting, which all those long, but low, bags force them to be. When a cat is comfortable, they like to stand and look around in the backpack. So they need space to stand up, and a lot of options are not suited. And it's not because a cat can fit a tiny place that they want to for long periods of time as it happens when traveling. So thank you for showing some good options.

    Hi! My boyfriend and I love your videos! We've been having a hard time figuring out how much wet food to feed. We might even want to do a combination throughout the week of wet and dry. Anyway, I see online that people are saying 3 of the 3oz cans a day for a 5 pound cat. That seems like so much to me. Do you or anyone have advice on how to determine how much food per day of wet food or dry food? Thanks!

    Hello everyone ! I have a question: My future cat will be an appartment cat because i live near a road and it would be way to dangerous to let them out the house (no need to debate me on this, I have read and done research on this topic for literally a year, my cat can and will be happy inside). I'm looking for a cat backpack as one more way to entertain my future furry baby: should I let the cat out the bag and let it play a little bit outside when we go walk or should it stay in the backpack for the whole time ?

      Not really, unfortunately-I haven't tried the Texsens since producing this video, and to my understanding, the Navigator was receiving some complaints about weak straps when I ordered it, and I'm not sure where there's any indication that the straps were updated. Are you sure that they were changed after this video was made?

      My first thought was that Mancro expandable product. While standing upright the floor of the backpack was tilted backwards, but I'd bet if you were on a bike, leaning forward, the back would also be leaning forward resulting in a level floor.

And on the way back I put his plastic carrier into a 150 liter Northface bag (it fits.) I could probably put the *cat in the bag* both ways (he would be fine with it), but I just want to make double sure he doesn't act up at the vet.

    Crazy to me that you didn't review Mr. Peanuts backpacks (unless they didn't make them yet then). They have special zippers that are near impossible to unzip from the inside. My cats have absolutely tried to destroy the mesh with no results. They're also cheaper and nicer than a lot of similar ones plus a lot are airport compliant in case you want to bring fluffy on the plane.
