A personal cat carrier is an excellent means of including your cat in short trips, taking him for walks, or just bonding with him. Personal carriers can be worn much like baby slings or backpacks, and some even convert like strollers for cats, or car seats. Cat lovers who like to include their cats in all aspects of their lives will love the concept of personal cat carriers. I've been known to work on my computer with a cat resting on my chest in a personal carrier - a great bonding experience.

1. PetPocket

The PetPocket is a great personal carrier for cats. Comfortable, padded, adjustable shoulder straps allow your cat to rest on your chest, secured with a safety clip to attach to a collar or harness. A drawstring opening allows your cat to safely see the world around as you go for a walk or chat with friends in an outdoors coffee shop. An outside pocket provides room for treats, toys, or a leash. For safety reasons, the PetPocket should not be worn while travelling.

2. Pet Wheel-Away

The Pet Wheel-Away is a remarkably adaptable personal pet carrier, which converts to a backpack, a car seat, or even a bed at the end of your travels. A telescopic handle makes for easy wheeling, and padded straps emerge from hiding for a backpack conversion. By retracting the handle and storing the straps in a convenient pocket, the Pet Wheel-Away can be converted to a (back seat) carseat by locking the seatbelt through the straps on the rear. Truly an all-purpose personal carrier.

3. Pet Front Carrier

Somewhat akin to the PetPocket, but with a more generic name, the Pet Front Carrier is attractively presented in tan plaid, black, or red. A zippered pocket in the front provides space for carrying small essentials, and a collar safety clip allows your kitty to gaze at her surroundings. Comfortable shoulder straps complete the package. The Pet Front Carrier accomodates cats up to 12 pounds.
