Hi My cat is 20 pound ... I was wondering if this carrier is enough durable to carry him

This is a very durable crate and feel your 20 pound cat will be comfortable and the feel the crate will hold the weight.

Yes, it would hold him quite comfortably if he doesn't grow any more. That's about the limit though.

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.

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.

I would think so, though the largest cat we have transported in this carrier was 12 pounds. According to the manufacturer, this carrier accommodates cats up to 20 pounds.

It might be more of a space issue. The floor of the carrier is actually smaller than the dimensions around the middle - so where they lie down is actually quite narrow. The middle dimensions still don't match the size they claim, I don't know how they reached them - maybe by taking the height with the handle in the upright position and measuring the width all the way to the end of the decorative edging? Anyhow, there are locking pins approx. every 2 inches around the join so as long as you check they are tight regularly, it should be durable enough for your needs. The carrier itself seems sturdy.

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 cat is about 12 pounds and she fits through just comfortably. My guess is 20 pounds is probably a little too big, but if you took the brush off of it he may fit through. The brush takes up another couple inches in the door.

I have a 20 lb cat. He fits just fine. I have been very happy with this product.

Are cat ways 13 pounds and she can turn around in this carrier and she is a long hair. This is a nice carrier for short trips say 30 minutes but no longer keeps them tight and safe. 20 pounds might be tight dont think they will be able to turn around in it.

This carrier is extremely tall but it doesn't have much floor space for a big cat to lay down. I had bought mine for my big 16lb kitty but returned it due to the configurations.

I agree with Leslie's answer: my cat is fairly large (14 lbs) and this carrier is great for short trips to the vet, but I would not use it on a long trip. I would look for something larger.

It says 20 lbs max. I have a 20 lb cat and he fits. I doubt a 60 pounder would fit :(

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.

No I don't think so. It was okay for my 13lb cat, but I wouldn't go much bigger/heavier than that with this carrier, personally.

My dog is 3 kilos in weight. A larger dog, in my view, would fit in the carrier but probably not as heavy as 20lbs.

I'm not sure about 20 pounds, mainly because it's 6 feet tall. You might try somebody else on the forum that has a 20 pound cat . One of my cats is large 13LBs. The only downside I believe is the thickness of carpet, I love it, it's great for both my cats! You know now that I think about it , they both go on there at the same time & between the two they weigh more than 20 pounds, so it might work.

The carrier held up nicely while transporting my 13 pound cat. And I love the way the carrier folds up when not in use.

I don't have the offical specs, buy I've put my 13 lb one in there with no issues and room/weight to spare, just carry it from the bottom as much as you can to be sure. Also, if your cat is curious/smart, he may be able to override the top closure which is held in place by velcro, be sure to put a safety pin in it. My kitten managed to get himself out of it while I was driving...

My largest cat is 18 or 19 pounds and this crate fits him with room to spare. Cats mostly curl up in it (I put a mat on the bottom), so I don't think your cat's measurements would be a problem for short trips. My only concern would be the handle's ability to hold the weight. You might want to tie a strap around it for extra security.

My cat weighs about 9 pounds and fits in the carrier but she is used to a larger carrier and didn't like it the one time I used it. I gave it to someone with a new kitten that was very small.

my cat is 10lbs, and there are no issues, but i wouldn't want to go too much heavier. the construction is real good and wouldn't tear, but the bottom would flex around the dog, so it would be like carrying him/her in a duffel bag. the furry insert is just for softness and is no more rigid than a piece of cardboard.
