SUNNY DISPOSITION!
"I have a kitty that not only gets motion sickness but also has a ton of anxiety," says Jennifer.
"She gets so worked up on car rides that her vet-prescribed medication just doesn't work. She ends up drooling, vomiting, urinating and messing herself in her kennel.
"I bought this as a last hope. I thought to myself that I also would feel the same if locked in a cage inside a moving vehicle."
On an hour-long car ride, Jennifer realized that the Cat-in-the-bag carrier was making a difference. Her cat, Sunny, seemed to tolerate the trip much better. We're glad we could help!
Jennifer bought Sunny's carrier on Chewy.com. See her full review there.

LET'S CELEBRATE!
Leading off our best wishes to you all for a happy and safe Fourth of July is Bowie, our newest Cat-in-the-bag cat! We believe he's about 7 months old now. He showed up two months ago on the right front porch -- ours -- where he desperately tried to plead his case for coming inside and a bite to eat. He had a flea collar on that was starting to dig into his neck. We believe he was abandoned by someone who moved away. He and his big sister CeeCee are getting acquainted still, and he's settling very well into life here and his new Cat-in-the-bag role. He's pleased to meet you all!

AH, HEAAAAAAL NO!

Don't buy our carrier from Sears website Global Marketplace seller Global Discount Store. This is none other than Chinese products peddler AliExpress.
They have used our marketing materials (pictures, listing information) that they stole from Amazon and our Website to make it look like they have our carriers for sale. They don't.
They are charging $51, supposedly for the carrier we sell for $39.95-$41.95. We don't know how they plan to deliver on sales of our carrier. They could buy it off one of our authorized dealers and have it sent to you while they pocket the difference. Would they just send you nothing, maybe? Or they could send you a little, cheap plasticky knockoff they sell on their own platform, currently for around $4.
They claim to have an address in Texas. They don't appear to us to really be there. The sign on the building doesn't have their name on it. They would drop ship those knockoffs straight from China, most likely -- a long wait for a cheap copy.
Search for Cat-in-the-bag Cozy Comfort Carriers at our authorized dealers:
cat-in-the-bag.com
Amazon.com
Chewy.com
ebay.com
We're also in select stores and vet offices across the country.
Please share this post. Even if your friends don't plan on buying our carrier, they might appreciate a tip to be wary of ANYTHING they buy on AliExpress.

This is exciting news! We lost a kitten a few years ago to this horrible disease. The situation was even more horrible because treatments do exist but were never made available. The treatment won't be available until June and may be hard to obtain at first because of demand, according to this article we're linking to. But it's a start. https://news.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=210&catId=620&Id=12090343

AT LAST!!! FIP treatment will be legally available in the US starting June 1st. Read the announcement from Stokes Pharmacy:

ENJOYING THE RIDE
Stephanie and her "Big Boy" share a snuggle during an RV trip. He's a much better traveler in his Cat-in-the-bag carrier than he was in a crate, she says. Here's hoping all their road trips are happy ones!

TOM APPROVES!
"I was not prepared for this reaction," says CA GA Peach about their sweet-faced baby, Tom.
"Tom easily adapted to laying on, then laying in the bag for a day. This morning I placed him with the collar around his neck and zipped him in.
Even for a Flame Point, he's unusually comfortable and calm, actually purring which is rare for a feral. After I removed the collar and unzipped it, he remained in the bag on my lap for another 30 minutes with no hurry to get out. Wow! This is bizarre."
We're guessing from the name of this Amazon reviewer that Tom lives in Georgia. Thanks for sharing him with us, CA GA Peach!

MILO'S STORY
Milo's mom, Nancy, gave Cat-in-the-bag five stars on Amazon. Here's why:
"On visits to the vet, Milo is almost impossible to examine unless he’s sedated. So I thought I would try this Cat-in-the-Bag. When it arrived, I put it in front of the fireplace and Milo laid on it so it had his scent. It was easy to get him into it. He enjoyed riding on my lap as he could see out and I could comfort him with cuddles. The vet thought it would be great not just for patients but for cat rescue organizations (carriers are bulky) and for fire evacuations. She and the vet tech asked lots of questions and took several pictures of it. They loved the large zipper so no need to wrap the cat in a towel to examine him. Also loved the seat belt pass through. It made it possible for our vet to examine him thoroughly. So five stars!"
Yes, we donate bags to rescue organizations, and yes, cat parents do use them for evacuations! Thanks, Nancy, for posting your review and rating for us on Amazon.

A LEG UP IN CAT CARE
When Myrtle of Oregon Coast Small Animal Rescue hurt her paw, the rescue turned to a Cat-in-the-bag Cozy Comfort Carrier for help. It's actually MORE than a carrier:
"Once again, we cannot understate the value of as an important tool! Today, Myrtle injured her paw. She would not let us near it. Bagged up and momentarily masked up with a bite guard, I was able to examine and clean the paw. She will be bagged for daily check-ups. Thank you, ❤️‍🩹"
We're very glad our bag could help, and we thank the rescue for these great pictures! https://www.facebook.com/OCSA.Rescue

Feline Fact Friday ...

Do you know the difference between a stray and a feral community cat?

Have you ever wondered if the cat you see in your neighborhood is a STRAY cat or a FERAL cat? Being able to distinguish between the two allows you to determine how to best care for that cat.

🐈 A stray cat is typically a cat who lived indoors and/or was socialized to people at some point in its life, but has left or lost its home, or was abandoned, and no longer has regular human contact.

🐈 A feral cat is an unsocialized outdoor cat who has either never had any physical contact with humans, or human contact has diminished over enough time that the cat is no longer accustomed to touch.

🐈 Note that there are semi-feral cats that have both stray and feral characteristics. Semi-feral cats typically trust their caregivers over time but still prefer not to be touched or to live indoors.

No matter if it's a stray, semi-feral, or feral community cat, please make sure the cat is spayed/neutered and vaccinated so the cat doesn't contribute to the cat overpopulation crisis and the cat lives a healthier life.

IF there are resources and rescues in your community, finding an indoor home for a friendly stray community cat is an option.

Feral, semi-feral, & unsocialized community cats should be returned to where they were trapped.

For even more information about the difference between feral vs stray community cats, read this article ... https://www.alleycat.org/resources/feral-and-stray-cats-an-important-difference/

WE LOVE IT!
We love being a part of your lives! If you've been a friend of the page for at least five years, you likely remember the photo of the baby with her three cats. It's pretty hard to forget! Little Nola slept peacefully through her closeup, with faithful felines Miu Miu, left, Ringo and Zoe keeping watch. Five years later, our Nola is all smiles as she and Zoe cuddle on a car trip. Thanks to her mom, Amber, for these beautiful photos! (To see the photos unedited, click on them. Facebook "helps" by cropping square.)
