Cat loved it, zips lasted about a year.
Bought this carrier just over a year ago for my 3 month old kitten. We were on the move quite a lot throughout that year with several vet and hospitals, travelling between homes etc. so the large size and round design provided a comfy and attractive safe place for her, she was always calm and happy in the carrier. The multiple openings made it very easy to get her in and out, the structure was very sturdy, and being able to zip off the top entirely meant she had a familiar bed whether she was at home or not.
The two negatives of this carrier were firstly, the shape meant carrying the bag with the shoulder strap was a little awkward, it would tip easily if not also supported with both hands and it was hard to find a good position for this and secondly the zip has broken at the front where the top zips off from the base after a year of use.
We will still be using this as a cat bed, but have opted for a different design for a replacement carrier.
