I'd like to use this for taking my cat to the vet. Can you tell me if it's fully closable so that my cat can't escape, or does it have a head hole?

Yes, the zipper will close the opening completely. It really is a neat thing to have. I have a 4 pound Yorkie and when I use the bag, it looks like a large purse. Most people do not know that I have a dog inside. I love it.

It zips closed and should be fine for vet trips. I used it on 6 hour trips but my cat was calm traveling. Check the item measurements and make sure you think it is large enough for your cat. I like the bag and could stealthily carry my cat with me because people thought it was a purse and she was quiet (happy to be going along).

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!!

The door is plastic, and so are the latches. They operate from the inside. Security is relative. This door will probably keep out raccoons and such, but you could kick through the door. If you are worried about human entry, don't put the cat entry within reach of the door knob. That way a person can't break the cat entry and reach in to unlock your door. I wouldn't worry about an animal defeating the latches and plastic cat door. By the way, I have a medium sized cat and a medium sized door, and there have no problems at all.

Yes. I had to take the flap off as it would stay on my cat's back the whole time he was in the box. You can also leave the vent lid open to clean instead of popping the whole top off.

I think it would work fine for a cat. All plastic and relatively easy to open.

Not unless it's a tiny kitten, the largest hole is probably 4-5" diagonally. I have two cats and they don't even attempt sticking their heads through. I use it between my sofa and stairwell railing to keep them from falling over it. Also on a side note, it's great for seasonal decorating...you can run lights through the top holes. I have orange lights for Halloween, and white lights with a fake pine needles (wreath stuff?) for Christmas.

There is an opening in two sides. It's really neat and my cats love it. Before they got it big, they would crawl inside where the hole is and hide there! It's a great toy!

It closes with a magnet latch. I doubt that it would be opened easily by the kitties. Mine seems fairly secure.

I think it is fantastic and it worked wonderfully for the feral cat in my yard. She took to it immediately! But it is round, and i do not think there is room inside for a heated water dish or food. it think the water would spill as the cat entered and exited - and the same for the food.

I do not recommend this at all for cats. Cats prefer enclosed and dark spaces to not stress them out. We tried to use this for our cat, and the cat freaked out and it climbed the barrier and squeezed through the opening at the top. This was within 20 mins of our 16 hr drive. We ended up putting the cat in a carrier with a towel over the carrier, and we heard nothing from the cat during the rest of the trip. To answer your question though, it does not have a 'gate'. You would put it up between either the backseat and the trunk area or behind the front seat and would just get the animal out via the trunk door or the back door. Hope this helps.

It's not. Gerbils can poke their noses through the slots, which can be potentially dangerous.I ziptied plastic mesh canvas to the unprotected areas which worked fine to protect against the cat, but the gerbils like to chew on it through the cage.

NO! This is not "secure" by any means, and the strength and quality of the product wouldn't even stop a curious hamster. That being said, it's worth the cheap price if it's used for its intended purpose, to stop bugs. tl;dr This product will not hold up to any cat. Best of luck to you!

I can certainly see using it for a rabbit. The hole (with top on for cats) is about 7 inches from the bottom so if it's a good size rabbit, it should have no problem getting in and out. BUt you COULD just leave the lid off.

It slips into place tightly (but not too tight). There isn't a snap, it just fits flush around the edge. My concern would be the giant feeding hole which is more than enough space for a cat to stick a paw in. The cat could grab a fish or the lid and pull it right off. We have a cat too and covered that huge hole with clear packing tape (on the top and bottom side of the lid) to make it safer. There is a smaller hole for a heater power cord in the back of the lid. We just use that to feed.

The hole is about two inches in diameter and about one inch deep. The plastic is smooth and rounded. Going from a kitten to full grown, our cat never had a problem with the hole. Sometimes we would put catnip in the center part and the cat would stick his head in the center hole, but he never got stuck. Our cat continues to play with this toy today and we no longer use catnip.

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.
