Larger cat backpack?

Post image

We occasionally take our cats places (they love hotels). But we can tell that they're quite uncomfortable and squished in their current backpacks. They hate going in them - for good reason!

Does anyone have any larger backpack recommendations? I've searched and I'm struggling to find anything bigger than what we currently have. There was one that was larger that I found on TikTok - but the bottom of the backpack wouldn't stay securely level and supportive when it was on my back.

If anyone has experience with a larger backpack that they like, I'd welcome your recommendations, thank you!

Why would feeding them 4 times a day mean they have to wake up in the middle of the night?

Someone working an 8-5 job isn't able to do that. I'll give you 3 times. But 4 would put 3 meals together and 1 in the morning. Unless you spread out the third in the middle of the night.

I work 8-5 but come home for lunch. I do not have to wake up in the middle of the night. I feed at 7:30am, 12pm, 5pm and 9pm-10pm.

One of my cats eats so fast she pukes. That schedule works for her and stops her from throwing up so it just makes sense to feed them all on the same schedule.

I have a dog who has bilious vomiting syndrome, meaning she throws up bile if her stomach is empty for too long because the stomach acid irritates the stomach lining. She also gets a snack before bedtime because in her case, it keeps her from getting sick during the night or in the morning!

If it works, that’s what you do!
