## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this approved for airline check-in requirements?**
A: These crates are not approved for use with any airline in the United States. Not Carried on or checked below, because of the top opening. Not because the crate is defective. They just don’t like that design for the airlines.

**Q: my cat is about 14 lbs and difficult to handle  - is this pet mate two door top load an easy loading carrier**
A: I have a 12.7 lb cat that went in so easy from the top. I put it in the car first.(back seat) I propped the top door open against the seat and he went right in. At the Vets office I had to wait in the exam room for a bit and opened the top,while sitting next to my chair, and he popped his head out the top and I just pet him while we were waiting. He's usually afraid, but I think because the top was open he felt better. My Vet even commented on how nice it was and even asked about where I had gotten it. I love this carrier!

**Q: Hi My cat is 20 pound ... I was wondering if this carrier is enough durable to carry him**
A: Yes, my cat is a 17lb, Norwegian Forest breed. I use the 24" plastic carrier.

**Q: Is it big enought for a BIG kitty. My biggest cat is 22 lbs and is 23" long, not counting his tail, and 14" tall. I can't find one to fit him! Help!**
A: It's about 19 1/2" long and about 14 1/2" high inside the carrier so it can fit a pretty big sized cat inside. My biggest cat is 17lbs and though the weight displacement in the carrier can shift around a lot based on the cats position inside it should provide good enough room for small trips to the vet.
