will this carrier fit two 10 lb cats? is it advisable to put two cats in a carrier?

There is no information on Petmate's website regarding this. It just states that it can hold up to 20 lbs. Looking at my 9.5 lb kitty, I don't see how I could fit two of her inside....maybe if both cats were a long, thin 10 lbs. It would also depend upon how long you wanted to carry the two together. A very short trip might work fine but the kitties would get very cramped on a long trip. I'd recommend viewing the measurements and measuring the length, width and height of your kitties to find your answer.

I do not suggest putting in 2 cats. My cat is 11 lbs and she fits nicely. There are bigger sizes.

They may fit, but not comfortably or happily. It's been my experience that when a cat is in a carrier, it stressed. I had two cats who get along in a larger carrier and had fights the entire way to the vets. I ended up having to get a temporary box at the vets to seperate them.

it is rated at 20 lbs. measurements are on line. i can't answer about two cats. i suspect your vet may be able to answer

My cat is just over 9 pounds and she fit -- but she hated the carrier and I felt it was too small for her. Your dog would likely not be able to move around much at all, which might be okay if that's what you prefer. I would say it's a gamble!

I have a 13 lb cat and the Bergan Wheeled Pet Carrier works very well for our needs!! I can't imagine what a 2 lb dog looks like but I would guess that there would be plenty of room in 1 Carrier for both of your pets!!??

I have a 10-pound cat that fits, with a bit of room to spare. It's a little taller than some carriers, and the sides and top are quite flexible.

I brought it with the intention of putting my 2 cats in it. They do fit but definitely cramped. My cats are furry but not big. However, my far the best animal carrier ever.

I have a 13lb and a 10lb cat. It holds either of them but they rarely use the boxes. They prefer the top tiers and each if them fits with ample room. Had the cat tree over a year and it's suffered abuse from 2 cats, a 2-3yr old and a dog and is just now becoming wobbly.

Yes it will. There is room for two ten pound cats. I have two cats and they each weigh ten pounds. If the two cats get along with each other it will be fine.

To answer your question about three kitties fitting, I would say no because they couldn't really move around much. My two cats are around 13-14 lbs each, I shoved them in there together but they weren't amused. Mine like to turn around and look out back if something is interesting. The other reason it won't do well for all of them at once is the bottom sort of sags a little, with three you would need one that would accommodate more weight. Look for one a little bigger.

I have a 10 lb cat who has room in the carrier to turn around from one end to the other. I believe it would large enough for both.

I think it should be fine as this carrier is really good quality and durable. Our cat is 5 kg and she's got plenty of space and before I purchased this carrier I read another feedbacks that some people can fit in there even 2 cats.

This is a BIG carrier - German Shepard sized. I believe it would definitely fit 2 17 lb cats (we have a 20 lber!) HOWEVER - it will be VERY heavy to lift, be prepared for that!

I have two large cats and they did fit. I would only use this for short trips, i.e. vet, groomers, etc. If the cats are sitting, they will fit. There will be no room for them lying down. The inside dimensions are 20"L x 13"H, x10"D.This is wonderful when taking to the vet because the weight of the cats make regular carriers cumbersome. I hope that this helps.

It might not be big enough for a heavier cat. The opening works fine but I don't think mine are more than ten pounds. Unless the cat is just large/ long.

My 2 cats are both 10 lbs. each and the large fits up pretty nice on them, with some room for adjustment.

I think it would be tight - I have 2 cats that are about 5 pounds each and I put them both in one, but I will be putting them in 2 separate carriers when they are full grown which should be about 8 to 10 pounds. Hope this helps!

I'm sorry, I'm really not sure, but I know it is not big enough for a larger pet. I can carry my new kitten in it and my smaller cat who is about 8 pounds. I love the carrier and have no complaints, but it is on the small side.

my 3 cats are just under 10 pounds each. In the large, thy have room to move and turn around. The small would probably work, but for long periods it may be a bit restrictive.
