happy cat
:"bought to replace material iglo because i couldn't clean it properly.
perfect for my nervous cat who likes to stay in the greenhouse in the garden, she went straight in and i can clean it easy"
Trixie wicker basket with mesh door and handle. Ideal for short journeys and trips to the vet. Also a lovely place to use as a cat cave to snuggle into.
The Trixie Wicker Cat Basket is a classic wicker cave that can be used as both a cosy den and a secure transportbox for your cat. The natural material makes this den an inviting and warm little hiding place where your cat can feel safe and snuggly. Simply remove the metal barred door, place the den in your cat's favourite corner, and watch your cat fall in love with its new hiding place.
Ont he top of the Trixie Wicker Cat Basket is a practical and comfortable wicker carrying handle, making this a perfect way of transporting your cat on trips to the vet, moving house, or just going on an adventure together. The barred door closes off the front of the den securely and is fastened with a wooden toggle. Your pet will be safe and secure inside, and the fastening is easy to open again when you reach your destination.

Now a cat bed
Very cumbersome. Vet was not impressed, especially when fiddling with the toggle with a crazy cat involved. Took the gate off and now a fixture in the living room. Has only been used once. Still hoping.

Very unimpressed.
Looked lovely, arrived fine. Cats seemed happy with it. Used it one day later to take a cat to the vet, and the entire bottom dropped out. Fortunately they were unharmed and the door was closed. Had to borrow a carrier to get him home. Very upset. Would not encourage anyone to buy.

Simples...
Two new cats to collect and bring home... after reading lots of reviews chose these specifically because they could be both travelling and cosy bed. A bit of carpet and the cats totally agree, it was an excellent choice (lucky as I bought two for when they're older)

Perfect!
I ordered this with the intention of using it for longer car journeys, as the carrier we had already was a little small. As soon as i got it home BamBam was straight in there, plenty of room for him to stand, sit and move around, even with a bath towel folded up as a bed- it's perfect! He's an average size cat, around 4.5kg, not worried about the security of the door either as the pin was stiff to get out. Not tried it yet in the car but i'm sure it will be fine!

Perfect !
Ordered two Trixie Whicker cat basket carriers to transport our two cats as we are moving home.
Ordered on Sunday they arrived today.
Perfect size for our adult cats and super value for money. Very impressed with the service and quality.
Thank you

Wonderful value
Very spacious and sturdy also the door is very tough metal with a gate piece that fits very snuggly over the end before you put the toggle in. A few sharp ends which you would expect being wicker, but easily clipped shorter, vet bedding or a pet cushion would solve any other sharp bits. Really great value, it will last for years....the cats and I are thrilled

Too big and my cat hates it!
This is not practical or small. It is bulky and both of my cats refuse to use it. Very disappointed.

Very sharp ends inside
Lovely basket but the ends of wicker are very sharp and can easily injure cat.
Not used for that reason, otherwise looks lovely.

Superb carrier and bed!
Bought 2 of these and both my cats love them. Great to transport and comfy wee bed too. Excellent!

AVOID!!
My cat put its paw through and lifted up the toggle on the door and let himself out. Had I been driving to the vets at the time this could have been a disaster.
I really do not recommend this product it is not fit for the purpose.
Very disappointed a waste of money.

Excellent for cat transport and as a bed
We used this basket to pick up our 2 kittens. Although it is excellent as a carrier (both cats ready curl up in there together despite it being a little tight for them now), my cats also use it as a bed / hidey hole and it is looks great in the corner of my lounge. No other bed I have bought them has gotten so much use. When we do go to the vet, both cats willing walk into the basket when I call them.

Brilliant product and very stylish
I bought this to transport our cat to the vets and also as a hiding space in the house. I loved the classic look of it as opposed to the modern plastic carriers available. It's very sturdy, our cat, who is quite small-framed, has lots of room in it, so I'd be confident that it fits a larger cat as well. Word of warning, not really suitable for young kittens, as we had a near escape in the car before! The wire grate at the front is quite spacious and before we knew it the little tyke had her head through it!! Other than that perfect for transport a grown cat and we always get comments on how lovely it looks at the vet's.

Brilliant
We purchased one of these some time ago and we have used for various cats at various ages. It's amazing. We have put two kittens in there and we have put an adult cat in it. Its safe, secure and very easy to use.
Its a bargain at the price and I would say very good value. Very safe. Go on grab a bargain.

Excellent!
Have been looking for a new transporter for my cat as he hates his current crate. Found this, loved the look of it and as he's very partial to his igloo shaped bed thought it would be ideal. I unpacked it less than an hour ago and he is now curled up asleep in it! Fingers crossed he still loves it when it's time to visit the vet!

Perfect transporter
This is the perfect transporter for my two 8 month old Siamese cats. I used to have problems getting my previous cat to go into the plastic boxes, but they love this. They sleep in it a lot, so serves 2 purposes, and it's big enough for the 2 of them. I put a cushion at the bottom and a blanket, you definitely need that as it's a bit spikey otherwise. Looks nice too.

Really good for cats and dogs
I originally bought this as a cat carrier for our two cats, who both fot in together very nicely. It was ideal for that purpose. Now we have a puppy and it's great for transporting him too, he also sleeps in it and settles down really comfortably in it (wih the addition of a cushion and blanket). It's one of the most useful items Ive bought and with 2 cats and 2 dogs Ive bought quite a lot of stuff!

Wicker cat basket
I bought this for my cat to take her to the vet in, but unfortunately it was so badly made that all the pieces of cane were sticking out extremely sharply inside the basket, all along the bottom, sides and top, and despite trying to cut most of them down and putting a blanket inside it, it was still impossible to use without severely wounding my cat. Zooplus was very good about refunding me, and I have seen that a lot of other people have given positive reviews so I am wondering whether to get another one in case this was a one-off? But people do need to be warned to check how sharp it is inside as could be very dangerous otherwise!
