How strong is the fixing on the handle and how excape proof is the top opening.

Mine was very escape proof as I tried to open the top opening the handles on the latches fell off so can not open it

Would this be suitable for two cats? Short journeys only, maximum 15 minutes. Combined weight 10kg

It’s probably big enough for 2 cats but only short journeys. Our cat is a big lad at 6 kilo but has more that enough room.

I have a large Maine Coon do you think the 23" carrier will be big enough? Thanks

I'm not sure,my Maine coon is just 7 months old & he just about fills it!I think in another 6 months he probably won't,but it is a good solid carrier & the top opening makes it easy to put your cat in!Simba likes it & walked in through the front door!
