FAQs

There are many knock-offs of the Cozy Comfort Carrier floating out there. However, we’re the original Cat-in-the-Bag and our product is much higher quality than any copycat you’ll find. We use only 100% cotton that’s tightly woven to resist scratches. Every detail, from the adjustable collar and Velcro ports to the seat belt pass-through loop and the long padded handle, has been thoughtfully added and boasts superior craftsmanship. 

Our carrier has an adjustable Velcro strip that allows you to tighten the collar snugly around your cat’s neck. Make sure there is enough room so you can slide only one finger under the collar. Our carrier is roomy, and the cat cannot brace against it to work his way out. Make sure to get the right size so he has enough space to stretch.

The bag is made of tightly woven cotton so that even if the nails poke through, they don’t get stuck and snag the material. The bag is also very loose-fitting, so it’s difficult for your cat to rake against it like he can on a solid-sided carrier. The bags are also guaranteed. If a cat is ever able to rip a hole in it, you get a replacement or a refund.

Yes! All of our cat carriers are seat belt-ready and come with a seat belt pass-through loop that you can use to secure your cat against the car seat during long rides. Additionally, the bag’s design ensures your cat’s ability to comfortably lounge so they can enjoy long car rides.

Follow these simple steps to secure your cat in the carrier:

  1. Open the collar, unzip the bag, and place it in front of you with the top side folded back. 
  2. Place your cat on the bag, facing away from you. Keep one hand or arm around his chest while you quickly slide the collar over his head.
  3. Adjust the collar with the Velcro strip until it’s just snug enough for you to comfortably slip one finger under the collar. Don’t leave a gap that’s big enough for his paw to slip through.
  4. Zip the bag closed and now you’re ready to go!

Tighten the collar a little more so only one of your fingers can slide underneath it. There should be enough room for your finger, but no gap he could slide his paw through.

The carriers come in extra-small, small, large, and extra-large sizes.

  • Extra-small is for smaller kittens or adults with short bodies and that weigh under 5 pounds.
  • Small is for most cats under 10 pounds.
  • Large is for most cats 10 pounds and up.
  • Extra-large is a specialty size for very large cats who are not only heavy but long and tall. These cats can start at 18-20 lbs and can range to over 35 lbs. Big-breed cats such as Maine Coons and Norwegian Forest Cats are examples of cats who may need extra-large, though females tend to run smaller and may only need a size large.

If you have some cats over and under 10 pounds and you only want one carrier, get a large. The necklines adjust to the neck of a smaller cat and extra room is not a problem for him.

Extra-large is not suitable for a small cat.

If your cat has a history of accidents in the car, we recommend Acci-Don’ts, our disposable liners that adhere to the inside of the bag. In many cases, an enclosed crate itself may cause anxiety and cause accidents. Simply switching to the Cozy Comfort Carrier could solve the problem, but lining it with Acci-Don’ts disposable liners is always a safe bet.

The Cozy Comfort Carrier is made of 100% cotton so it’s not water-resistant or water-proof. You can use it for bathing, though it’s not recommended. If used for bathing, wash it first to remove excess dye.

Yes, the Cozy Comfort Carrier is made of 100% cotton so you can pop it in the machine alone or with like colors in cold or warm water. Use mild detergent. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low or air dry.

Typically, we ship orders within 1-3 business days via Ground Advantage or Priority U.S. Mail. This means that any order in the U.S. should arrive within a week. Canadian orders take approximately two weeks. Other countries take 2 to 4 weeks. 

Shipping is included in the price for U.S. orders. Canadian orders add $10 shipping USD with $8 for additional bags each. Other countries add $18 for shipping with $10 for additional bags each.

The Cozy Comfort Carrier is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied with the product, simply return it within 30 days for a full refund.

I just wanted to thank you for this fantastic product! Gone are the days of fighting with my cat to put him in cage when the vet appointment was due. It takes a bit of practice to get the head through the opening, but in general it's so easy to get my cat into the bag. Even the vet was impressed, saying how it seemed to be his comforting blanket. He always wanted to go back in the bag during the examination. Not to mention that it is so much easier to securely attach the bag in the car than with a transport cage. And I have access to my cat while in the car, an activity he certainly hates. It helps calm him a little bit. I can't imagine a better thing to transport my cat when I have to!

I have 2 cats one is 22 lbs the other is 12 lbs. Usually it takes me 20-25 minutes to fight with my 22 lbs cat to get her into a carrier to take her anywhere. Today I used my Cat in the Bag for the first time and it took me exactly 3 minutes to get BOTH of my cats ready to go to the vets. Once there the carrier made their appointment much easier and both cats had their exam and shots done in no time. I wish I had found out about your product earlier. I think it is wonderful. Thank you.

Hey! Your product is so amazing, my vet uses it all the time - I brought it in to the clinic when I worked there and it substantially reduced the number of cats who needed to be sedated for exams - saving clients money and making them happy. (Can you tell I love the cat-in-the-bag?) It is one of my absolute favorite tools - right up there with my cold laser machine.

I love my cat in a bag!! Mr.Meowgi hated being in a pet crate and I didn’t like the cumbersome of the crate. Every time we go to the vet they all get a chuckle from him being in the bag. I love how easy and convenient it is.

I can’t say thank you enough! My older cat Phoenix had developed an eye ulcer and had to receive eye treatments. Your cat-in-the-bag made this so easy and stress-free. Phoenix is a rescue we have had for 16 years. She has some arthritic problems in her back and when trying to restrain her for anything it can hurt her back because she would struggle so much when we or the vet techs tried to restrain her. This bag keeps her very quiet and still, thus there is no wriggling around that would cause her to twist her back and cause pain. Also, she is a polydactyl and her extra claws need frequent trims because they will grow under and into her paw pads, so this is great to use for that. We live in the country and the long ride to the vet in town was an hour of tortured meows in the cat carrier. Now she rides comfortably strapped in the seat belt and can see out where she is going and never utters a cry! Wow, what else can I say about this bag. Well, the best thing we have found is that for treating her eye or ears, it is the best. So much so my vet expressed interest in having one for treating eyes and ears of patients in the vet hospital. As a thank you to him for the excellent care he gave our kitty during her eye procedures, I bought the vet one as a gift! He was thrilled! And I will be giving him the info to give to other clients if the are interested in getting one. Thank you again!

My bag arrived today, and I have already trimmed both cats’ front claws, which they have never allowed me to do before. They weren’t exactly happy, but they were unable to run away. Great product.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU! I took my sick kitty to the vet in this bag last week, and not once did he yowl or hiss like he did in his cat crate. He could sit on my lap before the exam, and stayed calm for the vet, too. I raved about my new cat bag to my mother, who borrowed it to take her cat to the vet. It was such a positive experience, she’s going to get one of her own! This is one of the best purchases I have ever made for my cats. I’m going to donate my old crates to an animal shelter, and spread the gospel of the cat bag.
