I love the girly pink tartan design of this cat carrier, but there are a few points you should keep in mind to make sure it's right for you.
There's some assembly required in that it comes flat and you have to zip it up, I definitely needed my husband's help to do this as it's a bit tricky to hold it steady and pull the zip at the same time.
Since this opens via a zip rather than a gate like some traditional carriers, I wouldn't recommend this for those cats and dogs who panic and are a nightmare to get into the carrier. Rather, it's more of the carrying bag style which is great for pets who like the carrier and love to travel and be on the go with you. There are little mesh windows so that your cat or dog can see out, but I found it was hard to get them buttoned up once the carrier was closed, so I'd recommend opening them and buttoning them before adding your pet if you want them open.
My one big negative is that it came with quite a strong plasticky smell, so make sure to take some time to air it out before you plan to use it.
Other than that, I did like this case, but it's not going to be for everyone. Mostly it's just got a lovely design, but definitely better suited to smaller animals (it's quite narrow if you have a big boy cat like me) who are easy to put in carriers and who travel well.
