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 use the hard carrier with the front and top opening. Some cats prefer to
walk into the carrier, others are a little tougher to get in there and
that's where the top door is handy. I also have had cats who seem to feel
less claustrophobic in the carriers with the top door. If the cat is sick
it's a lot faster/easier to get them out of a carrier that opens from the
top as well. The only down side is that the 'latches' on the top door have
been known to slide open so extra caution is in order. I haven't tried a
fabric carrier mostly because I haven't found one big and sturdy enough to
carry some of the bigger, heavier cats I transport.
