Why it matters
PetMasion's XL carrier is 24 x 16.5 x 16.5 in for large cats or two cats. The 2024 update added a waterproof bottom liner so accidents don't reach your seats, plus four safety buckles.
It has a metal frame and folds when you're done.
Who it's for, and who should skip it

Pros and cons
Pros
- Waterproof liner
- Four buckles
- Collapsible
Cons
- Bulky
- Not for flights
- Heavier
Limitations to weigh
- Measure your cat nose to tail-base and shoulder height; it should be able to stand and turn around inside.
- Leave the carrier out at home with a blanket and treats inside so your cat sees it as a den, not a vet trip.
- Airline rules vary by airline and route; check your airline's under-seat size and weight limit before you book.
