Cleaning your cat carrier

Featured

Traveling with cats usually involves a cat carrier. If flying, as far as my kitty care is aware, all airlines require a soft carrier that can fit under the seat in front of you.

While your cat is in the carrier, we reeeeally recommend using wee wee pads.

Sometimes cats may not completely pee on the pad, always unintentionally (we assume) so some pee may get on the carrier. The tell-tale smell will let you know if that happens. So what’s the best way of cleaning your cat carrier?

  • Use dish liquid
  • Use vinegar. It works!
  • Don’t use ammonia, because cat pee has a similar scent and will encourage your cat to pee in that spot.

My Kitty Care soaked the carrier, bottom tray and blanket in dish liquid and vinegar overnight. The smell is gone!

A little reminder: each airline has specifications about the size of your cat’s carrier, so always check with the airline you and your cat are flying with.

Jeez, that’s all we need are more cat carriers. OK, so we know the backpack part, but the bubble part piqued my interest – what is a bubble cat carrier?  U-pet has designed a series of cat carriers that made me stop, look, laugh and say “I want one of those! Maybe…”

There are three versions of carriers: a cross body, a backpack and a style u-pet calls sport series. Each style offers limited color choices. The best part is, they all have the bubble window.
