Moments after I found out that I had a new job in New York City, a thick cloud of anxiety grappled me. I was not worried about moving to the Big Apple, but rather about how I would manage to take my extremely sassy, two-year-old American shorthair cat, Mountain Dew with me. I rescued her from SPCA Serving Erie County in Buffalo, New York .
Mountain Dew is an indoor cat who loves her cat tower , my sweatshirts, and the comfort of our home. The idea of driving nearly eight hours with a cat who will scratch the living daylights out of you and yowl relentlessly in the car made me sick. While researching pet carrier options, I stumbled upon Texsens' innovative traveler bubble backpack for cats and dogs .
With a soft mat for the base, unlike other hardcase carriers, this seemed extremely convenient for my seven-pound cat. The backpack has three sides of breathable mesh made of PVC that allow optimal ventilation, making it easy for my cat to breathe. It is perfect for dogs up to 15 pounds or cats up to 18 pounds, with plenty of room for your pet's favorite toy.
There was enough room inside for me to put a pee pad in case she had an accident. While the original product is worth $31.99 — the best $30 I have ever spent — it has an exclusive 28% discount for Cyber Monday and is priced at $22.

While driving, I would let Mountain Dew poke her head out and see the trees and buildings whizz past. The moment of truth arrived when I put my cat into the bag. She loved being inside the bag as it provided her the safety and security she really appreciated.
Being a backpack, it made it more convenient for me to pick it up and place it on my lap to give her an additional sense of security in between stops. Since it was breathable on both sides , at night I was able to cover it with a jacket to make it dark enough for her to sleep without fearing suffocation. Since then, I have put her inside the backpack and taken short walks to help my indoor cat slowly and gradually overcome her fear of the outside world.
The backpack itself does not weigh much and it feels like a breeze to carry it around on your back. It is the most convenient purchase I have made and if you are looking for a way to transport your fussy best friend whether during a trip to the vet or on vacation, make sure to check this backpack out!
