Why it matters
Cat-in-the-Bag isn't a box: it's a soft cotton pouch that wraps the cat's body with the head out, so you can trim nails, give medicine or let a vet examine one leg at a time through zip openings. Many cats calm down when gently swaddled.
The large size fits cats of about 10 to 19 lb, measured 15 to 18 in from the base of the head to the base of the tail.
