Do cats like travel backpacks?

It does depend on your cat, and their personality. Some cats don’t like to be enclosed and they will certainly let you know about it! If you've taken your time to choose the right sized backpack and you have allowed your cat a little time to get used to being in it, then they should be content to be carried. But never force an unhappy or resistant cat inside a backpack – look for an alternative way to transport them instead.

What backpack size should I get for my cat?

The backpack needs to be large enough for your cat to comfortably stand as well as sit, stretch and turn around. Their weight is also a factor as most cat backpacks have a maximum carry weight. If in doubt, measure and weigh your cat so you can choose the right sized backpack for them.

How long can cats stay in a backpack carrier?

While there's no hard and fast rule, practicalities as well as the personality of your cat will dictate how long you can keep them inside their backpack. Your cat will need breaks to go to the potty as well as drink and stretch, which means a couple of hours is ideally the longest you should go at one stretch.

Can I put two cats in the same kitty backpack?

There's no reason why you shouldn’t put two cats into a feline backpack as long as it's sized to carry them both. For adult cats, you'll need a large carrier, but two kittens should be happy inside a regular sized pack. However, it's not recommended to keep two cats secured inside a carrier for longer than a few hours, as they need to be able to get out and stretch.
