I like the plastic crate because it's sturdy, but I just saw one that's
made
of sturdy fabric which is cheaper, and hangs over the shoulder. It's
nice
in colour, and because space is limited I can just fold it wherever I
want.

But I think maybe I should go with the crate because when I take Mico to
the
vet, they're gonna hafta sedate him to get him to co-operate, and it
might
be easier to get a pill disguised as food through the crate bars, rather
than through the bag's netting. Suggestions anybody?

Thanks in advance,

I have both types at home. I don't drive so when I take both cats to the
vet at the same time, using two of the hard plastic carriers was
impossible. The soft carrier I have (Sherpa) cost a fortune - literally 5X
what a plain hard case costs! If you're going to be driving, the hard
case might be better. My Sherpa bag, since it's soft, does tend to sag
while the cat is inside. The cat doesn't seem to mind, but might feel
more comfortable in the hard case. Also, one of my cats loves to sleep in
the hard case, so I leave it out all the time.

The one I have has a rigid vinyl-covered board to place inside. That
prevents any sagging. This one came from WalMart and is available in 2 or 3
sizes.
