Which size would work better for a 16 lb cat, M or L, mostly for taking walks (to be used as a backpack)?

The medium will be too small for a 16 pound cat. I would highly recommend the large for a cat of this size to comfortable fit in the carrier. This will give the cat plenty of room to stretch rather rhan be crammed in.

My 17 lb Bugg (Boston Terrier/Pug) fit great in the Medium when used as a backpack.

My cat is almost 12 lbs we just got him the med -lg. Size. The best thing is to measure your cat. Jackson Galaxy website might be helpful and Youtube.

I have a 13-ish lb cat who is very long. I got what was then called S/M, which Amazon is now telling me is called M, and it fits just right.

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

I own the large and I have two 10 lb cats and and an 8lb cat. They are able to get in and out easily and honestly the large doesn't take up much room. Just wanna say that this thing is a godsend, highly recommend it. I'd assume your cat will fit through the regular and should be enough room but if you're worried the large will definitely suffice.

hello. you may want to email joybies directly and ask them about which size would be best for your cat. they are very helpful in figuring out the proper fit. :-)

My dog is 14 pounds and she fits with room to spare. If the cats are 10 lbs each I think they can fit together. This is for 25 pounds and under. Easy to carry. However, I don't think it's very safe for long distance driving. Just to and from Vet or groomer.

Go with the large. It's 19" long, 9-1/2" wide and 13" high if that will be large enough. I got mine because my cat breed is large & will be close to 20# when full grown. Will be cozy, none too big.

I'd recommend medium. Think small are for kittens, but not 100% about that.

I would buy the size that is right for your cat's weight ... if he is 13lbs or more, consider the Large ... if he is really big (like 20lbs+), consider a Dog size Small ...

Our 12-pound cat fit just fine, with plenty of room to spare. I would think a larger cat, 15 pounds or so, would be comfortable.

Small, in my opinion. Large is definitely too large for an average cat, and medium may be a little too large.

I bought the Med/Lg for my big Ragdoll cat. I think they come in Extra Small. I would check the manufacturer's website, and check their recommendation. They are size generously, since my cat is a big boy and the M/L fits just fine. You can measure for a good fit. FYI- my cat loves his Kitty Holster.

My sons used the Coyote 80 for Philmont which was a 10 day 80 mile backpacking trip, but their body frames are a fair bit smaller than yours. I also accompanied them and am comparable in size 6'0", 200lb and used the Kelty Red Cloud 90. It worked out great. You may also want to look at the Red Cloud 110.

Probably the large. The medium might fit a slim 15 lb cat but most 15 lb cats aren't slim. I don't think I have been able to fit the medium on anything more than 12 lbs. They are really adjustable so even if it is big, you should be able to get it tight.

Your cat will be fine. I transported my dog she is 11 lbs. We really like ours.

I would purchase the medium, have two Maine Coon cats about the same size, but 20 lbs. It is a perfect fit. Hope this helps.
