Has anyone travels cross country with this carrier? We are moving out of state and I need my 12 pound cat to be comfy .

I have a 15 pound cat and it has plenty of room and can see out of any side...she seems happy in it.

Ideally this carrier is best for one cat. I'm sure both of your cats could fit in it but I guess it all depends on how long you need to have them in it and if the cats prefer to be close to one another during travel.If you read the measurements and use masking tape to tape out those measurements on a floor or something, you could put the cats inside the tape and see how they would fit in that amount of space.

Our 12-pound cat fit just fine, with plenty of room to spare. I would think a larger cat, 15 pounds or so, would be comfortable.

I also have a 15# cat and he fits very well in the large Sherpa with plenty of room to spare. I absolutely love it. It rolls along very easily and takes corners really well. I actually have two Sherpas leave them out as the cats like to sleep in them. Very well made and absolutely worth the money.

This carrier is quite sturdy / durable. I'm pretty sure that your cat will be comfortable, as well as the carrier will be durable enough to hold the 20 pounds. We were so pleased with this carrier that we purchased 2 more.

my cat was 27 lbs. and 31" from head to tail and fit comfortably in the carrier. he could move around. it is too big to fly with. since cats don't walk on a leash, i love it. i could not carry my cat. we have taken car travels of 10 hours or more with no problem. at home, it's always out and sometimes he goes in there of his own free will to sleep.

there is certainly room to move in this carrier for my 16 lb, very long cat but it is tight. the mesh openings help so he does get air. I would say OK for a short flight.

I hope you got the large size because even my 9 pound cat is a bit "crowded" in the medium. This is my second Petmate carrier. Please see my original review for the steps I take to help my cat feel secure. Like you, I only use the carrier to take my cat to the vet. I have not had problems with my cat attempting to claw his way out of the carrier. HOWEVER, on our way back home from his very first trip to the vet in the OLD Petmate carrier, he tore the mesh with his teeth, because WE did not know he needed to go to the bathroom. He was newly rescued on that first visit and he has never had this problem again. So yes the mesh can be torn and much depends on his sense of comfort in the carrier.

My cat weighs about 7-8 pounds and I bought this cat carrier for a cross country road trip. It worked fine for her since she is a petite cat. My other 2 larger cats, 15+ pounds, were crated in a Petmate tan canvas carriers that I bought a Walmart for around $30 each. I prefer the ones I bought at Walmart because the sides have plastic support tubes that are easy to break down when I'm not using the carrier. The Mossy Oak carrier did not have the same sturdy side supports. The canvas ones are sturdy enough to stack on top of each other or stack stuff on top of when you're running out of room in the car. Hope this helps! My cat weighs about 7-8 pounds and I bought this cat carrier for a cross country road trip. It worked fine for her since she is a petite cat.

No, I have a medium to large sized cat (13 lb. selkirk rex) who fits in this carrier very well with room to move and turn around. I have used it for airplane travel as well and it fit comfortably on the plane. Best cat carrier I ever owned.

Hi. I really like this carrier. It didn't have a chemical smell at all and I like that you can put your cat in the front or top. The zippers seem strong enough. My cat is about 10 pounds and the space is enough for her.

I have put two large cats in this carrier but only for short distances. One large and one medium would be a little tight but ok for trips to the vet. They better like each other because they will be close.

It will be a tight fit and I don't recommend it. Your cats need room to move around inside carrier. I have a 13 pound cat and a 10 pound cat and they each have their own carriers. This carrier is roomy for one kitty, very sturdy. Just buy each kitty their own carrier!

Hello Lynn,It did work for me even though in the beginning he won't use it but after a couple of minutes insisting he did. I used on a long trip to east Europe and i most of the time i travel with my cat so i always bring one of this either on the carry on check bags. Also on the carry on i found a good bag to put it in so the litter doesnt fly all over and sometimes if kitty is uncomfortable during the flight i take him to the plain's restroom and open the box there.

Hi, it would be a snug fit for (2) 12 lb. cats together. They could sit in it, but I don't think there is enough room for both of them to curl up and lay down. The carrier is plenty tall, but not so spacious around the bottom. I would suggest use for very short trips only. Hope that helps.

I have no experience with flying with this carrier. Sorry. We use it for a cat to take back and forth only.

I just recently got the carrier and have used it only twice but I love it. I can fit both my grown cats into it (combined weight of 40lbs). Also love the fact it fold and fits anywhere.
