We bought two baskets and this is a review of the larger one. This basket was for our larger cat; an 18 month old tabby who weighs about 4.8kg. We had a wicker basket theyd both fitted into when they were kittens but we needed something larger. We were attracted to this one by the price and other peoples reviews. Genuinely not disappointed. As soon as we unpacked it, they both happily sniffed it and explored it. For the next few days it was a big part of their games (we left it sitting out in the kitchen) with an odd nap being taken in it. It was plenty big enough for Sascha who can stand up and turn around in it. Its great being able to remove the door when its not needed as a carrier.Coincidentally they needed to go to the vet a few days later. We went on the bus and it was easy to carry, fairly easy to fit on a lap and the metal grid on the door allowed fingers to be put in so that they could be stroked and reassured. Most importantly, because theyd been playing with it there was no fuss about getting Sascha in plus it was really easy to get him in and then shut the door. It was interesting how many admiring looks the basket received and we also got a number of positive comments for having a wicker basket rather than a plastic one.Id have no hesitation in recommending it. In fact, I did recommend it to a friend who bought one for her cat and he seems to be equally happy with his.

My kitten loves this basket. He will take himself off to bed when he fancies a nap. It is big enough for his blanket and some toys. Really pleased with it. It is nice to look at and sits in front of the French doors so he can look out into the garden. Recommended. Great service from Pet Planet.

We were due to collect our rescue kitten and have so much drama in the past trying to get cats into plastic carriers that when I read the great reviews on this I thought it would be worth a try. Especially at this price, so reasonable as the ones in the pet shops near me (exactly the same) were in the £50 mark which seems silly for a cat! Anyway the reviews are right our kitten was not phased at all by it and we even left it at the shelter for a few days before we picked him up so he was used to it. Now it sits in our office as his hidey hole with the door off and still looks nice!
