Best cat backpack

This is a strong sturdy backpack that holds my heavy 15 pound cats. I like that I could either open the top or the front. It’s very comfortable pack since kitties are heavy. Lots of space for the cat to hang out and they are very happy. Highly recommend as very good quality and so much fun to hike with my kitties!!

Fantastic Cat Backpack — Safe, Comfortable, and Well-Designed

We bought two of these backpacks (one in each style) and couldn’t be happier. The mesh is strong and durable, giving our cats plenty of visibility and ventilation while feeling secure. There are clips inside for added safety, and the overall construction feels solid with excellent bracing and supportive straps.

There are multiple ways to open the pack and different carrying options, including a shoulder strap. There’s plenty of pockets and even space to fit a hydration bladder, which is a thoughtful touch for longer outings.

So far, we’ve only taken our cats out a couple of times, but they already love just lounging in the packs at home. After comparing a number of options, this one clearly stood out as the best. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and well-built way to adventure with their cats.

I am still introducing my kitty to the cat pack. She doesn’t linger even though I put treats and food in it.

This is the cat backpack I’ve been dreaming about.
Material is sturdy yet lightweight. The waist strap takes the load off your shoulders if you have a heavier, larger cat. My cat is about 8 lbs and full grown, so I didn’t really need it.
Three things that make this the ideal backpack for your adventure cat:
1. It has a pouch for your hydration bladder so the human can carry their water source and your cat won’t damage it. It also has a convenient opening at the top for the drinking hose to come out. Great for long hikes/adventures with your feline friend.
2. The top of the carrier is flat and supports my cat. She’s not sliding off trying to hold on. She likes to be out of the bag and lays on top of the backpack.
She’s also able to sit up without losing her balance.
3. The side pounches are great. One is zippered and has compartments, which was a surprise and convenient.
Spend the extra money. It’s worth it.
I am 5’3” and fits my torso. No issues.

Love it!

I wanted something that would be stable and able to hold two cats but mostly for my very adventurous cat can follow with me more often. She loooves it and sits in it waiting to go out again.
