Question 1

Does this scare the cat and make him go wild?

Accepted Answer

On the contrary, most fractious cats settle down once they are contained in the Cat Sack.  The key is to open the top zipper and velcro collar and put the cat sack flat on a table or on the floor.  Put the cat on top of the open sack, and quickly fasten the velco collar around the cat's neck.  Once that is done, if the cat is on top of the sack, it can't escape.  Quickly zip up the zipper on the back,  and most cats quiet down right away because they realize there is no escape.  Also important:  familiarize yourself with the bag's zippers and collar before trying this with a cat, because  confidence and moving quickly to get the cat fully confined is important. 
I have dealt with some very difficult cats, and I have never needed a second person; in fact a second set of hands could just get in the way.
So much better than wrapping in a towel, etc.

Question 2

Does this bag run true to size? The description states the Large size will fit cats 10-15 pounds. Is that accurate?

Accepted Answer

states on package insert, 8-13lbs... seems about right

Question 3

What are the washing instructions? Assume they are on bag but want t know before purchase

Accepted Answer

I also received no washing instructions. Just wash it in cold water and let it air dry. After all, a function of this bag is to wash cats.

Question 4

I am considering this for my 15 lb pug dog.  Will it be the right size and does it secure the feet so they can't retract the paw for clipping?

Accepted Answer

There are rt & left side front zippers to accomodate each front leg but only a 1/2 length, central rear zipper on the bottom which 'might' work for each hind leg.  The large size is for 8-13 lbs so an extra large bag would be better if available.
