in case of emergency to evacuate by foot, would this be a good item to transport my cat?

I would say yes, it can be used as a jog stroller. Just lock the front wheel or it will wiggle a lot and force the stroller to make sudden stops. I always lock front wheel when walking fast/jogging or on walking on rough terrain.

I think this wold be a very good stroller for transporting a cat. When zipped, it closes up well, with no open spaces large enough for a cat to press itself through. Since cats are so clever, it might be a good idea to have ready some tiny bungies that could be used as extra security to keep the zippers all closed.

Yes, just by stepping on it, which is why I couldn't use mine for awhile till my cat got adopted. Of course I would imagine once it went off and scared them they would stay away from it...but you know how cats are

It is going to depend on the cat. I used the carrier to take my cat to and from the vet several times before I flew her in it (and she's 9 lbs). It was only after being on the flight for about five hours that she clawed through it--and she was panicked. The mesh is soft enough that a cat could easily claw through it though, so as I said it'll depend on how your cat reacts to being in it. For the most part, my kitties (I had more than one of these) just curled up in them. If it's a short drive, I suspect he would be okay.

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...

This carrier is WAY too flimsy for transporting an animal on public transportation. It's fine for your home. It's fine for transporting a dog to an obedience/agility trial; put it on a cart; you will not be able to carry it by the handle bcs it will too heavy with the pet inside. It probably is ok for transporting your pet in the car, but bungee it down for safety. I use mine for naps and overnights at home. mb

I would not use this to transport your cat. The basket on occasion will fall off the rack using the spring attachment provided. If you use a better way to attach it to the rack it might be secure enough (possibly bungee cords). The handles do not come off easily but, you could take them off.

it's steady enough, i'm not sure if you will be able to use it for cats since the cat would have to be still for a few seconds.

No, not easily. Once filled there is enough weight to keep it firmly upright. I'd keep it out of the cat's reach though.

No..I have found this little guy can easily be misplaced. Suggest maybe putting it into some sore of case. PS if you have a cat.. watch out! lol

I didn't see where you live, but I would suggest sliding the tube up against a bench in such a way that the cat can approach the entrance from under the bench. While the awning does a pretty good job of keeping out the rain/snow this would give some further protection from the wind. My feral cat also likes laying on the bench. This is by far the best product I've seen/used.

That's a floor area of 4 feet by 2.5 feet. Probably overkill for two cats. Plus, for a five hour car ride, they really don't need a litter box. They likely won't go while in the car anyway. Crates like this aren't the best for transporting cats. Cats do much better and are much less nervous in carriers like this one.

It would be tight with two 10lb cats.I would recommend getting two carriers.

It is portable by either rolling it (say by using a ramp) or lifting it. You would not be able to lift it with the cats inside but you can roll it with them inside. It would not be convenient if you had to take it apart every day but if it fits inside the RV fully assembled you would not have to disassemble it.

I bought this for our two shihpoos (age 7 mos/8lbs. and 6 lbs.) They both can sit in it when taking them on short trips...vet/park/etc. BUT it would not be good on a long trip; which is really what I bought it for. I love how well made it is, and use it for short trips. We also have a 6 year old, 13 lb. ragdoll and she fits fine. I would guess it could accommodate two, maybe three adult cats. If I can help answer any more questions, I am happy to do that.

Absolutely not. We couldn't even get a single cat in here (we have seven and not one of them fit). It would be cruel to carry them in this unless you had a VERY small cat.

I don't think so.... I found it to bit a bit small for my 8 lb cat! For short trips, it would be OK, but not anything more than a trip to the vet. Because it's tall and not very wide, it just doesn't leave room for the animal to turn around, so I find it to be just too small.

I actually lent this out to my son for a weekend trip to Boston after my house guest left and have not gotten it back yet. Short answer is no first hand experience yet, best guess is after the way we bounced like crazy on it after it was set up there should be no problem. It really is well made IMO. I'm 220 lbs and it didn't budge a bit. Keep the felines, the real cat type, away though. They would love to knead on this thing. Good luck.
