I have a pretty good size black cat that is about twenty pounds, would this carrier hold his weight is the product well made to last, and washable?

Twenty pounds is a large cat, yet, I say this will work. I like the product. I don't think it would be comfortable for hour after hour, however. Good carrier though. Good luck. CC

Plastic is hard; carrier is not heavy. We use for a 20 lb cat; I would not go heavier.

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.

My cat weighs 16 lbs and it is a close fit for him. This is the largest carrier I found.

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.

My cat is 18 pounds and she fits fine in this. I would believe it would be perfect for a 20 pound dog. I would get it, try it, and if it's not good for your pup, then just return it. It has been a life savor for me, cuz she's too heavy for me to carry in a regular carrier. I love this carrier. Highly recommend.

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.

Yes the cat is very safe - it has a zipper screened area all around it. It's almost just like a cat carrier on wheelsMy cat does not like being outside due to an accident when he was little and he doesn't even try to get out - good buy for the money!!

No, it is perfect. I put 2 of my cats, combined weight of 20 lbs. inside, for a trip to the vet. I carried this by the handle only, and it held up perfectly.

I have cats that weight and heavier and there's plenty of room for them inside. The locks look like they might be flimsy, but they are actually very sturdy. I've never had a problem with them. This is a good carrier.

I bought this carrier for my female cat who weighs approx. 10 lbs. Although it is a comfortable fit for her, there is not an abundance of extra room. She can stand briefly, turn around, and sit back down. She did make a three day trip (NY to FL) but she was sedated and therefore did not move around much. In answer to the question, I think - depending upon whether you want your cat to be able to move around - this carrier might prove a bit too small.

If my 5 pound dog didn't fit, I highly doubt your 20 pound cat will. It's well made and he wouldn't scratch through 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.

My cat is 13.5 lbs she fits on it however I had to put duct tape around it because the plastic bows after a while. I have had mine for a long time and love it. Though I dont keep her in it much. Its a nice place for litter box and food n water dishes

Yes, I think so. My cats are close to 20 pounds each and they're too big for it though.

My cat was 6-7 lbs when we moved. It was a good size for her. But not much more weight than that would be good. It is a good carrier but not the sturdiest if stressed I suspect.

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.
