There are many variants of transport boxes for cats. The most well-known are the sturdy plastic cat boxes, which are available in different sizes, also for transporting two cats. As a rule, these cat transport boxes have an opening at the front. But there are also models where you can open a lid on the top. The advantage of these boxes is that they are very robust and can be cleaned hygienically. Some of the large plastic transport boxes have an extra collection container for urine, which can prove useful on longer trips. Another variant is pocket-like, collapsible models which are particularly light and usually have several openings. Baskets made of rattan or willow are also suitable for transporting cats.

Which transport box is right for you and your cat depends on the purpose: if you often take the animal with you on longer trips in the car, train or plane, you need a pleasantly large box, possibly with a collection container for urine. If it’s just a short trip to the vet, a sufficiently large cat carrier bag is a good choice. Ultimately, the selection of the cat transport box for your furry friend is also a question of personal taste. However, it is important that your cat has sufficient space and that the box can be stowed safely during transport. Some boxes for cats come with straps to secure them in cars.

Before you travel with your cat or take a trip to see the vet, it is important that your cat gets used to its transport box. First of all, open the cat box and place it in a quiet place with its favourite blanket or a T-shirt you have worn inside. Other fragrances such as catmint or Feliway can also make the transport crate more interesting for your cat. When your house cat lies down in the box and feels comfortable in it, keep closing the door for a short time and then reward your furry friend.
