absntr's cat seemed to enjoy curling up on my Baileyworks bag last week (was probably tired of slipping off of the Ortleib backpack every time he dozed off).

what the **** is it with cats and messenger
bags? my friend's cat used to always climb into
my bag and settle herself in there so deep as to
be barely noticeable. i've actually made it about three blocks
with her in my bag until i figured out i was hauling cat.

These cats all look so comfortable in their bags, but what about when you want to know which bag is best for hauling the maximum # of felines around?

It seems that there is no clear winner as to what the best bag is.

I wonder if mcatano's kitty volume measurements were taken by measuring the kitty or submerging him in a large measuring beaker full of water.

Belle rarely wants to leave the apartment. But when she does, she gets dressed to the nines.

Order your hand-knit kitty collars here.
