This makes me sick

My point was, how many sickos are out there, though, who would buy it to use as a cat cage. I don't own a cat, but yes, I know of their silly antics of "hiding".

I didn't get to see the pix because it had already been sold when I saw the ad.

For myself personally I'd rather see someone use a cat carrier of most any type as a 'temporary' transporter, than have people have loose cats in their vehicles. Recently a vet clinic a few counties over from us got rammed by a truck, broke right through their brick wall...reason.....the owner was struggling with a loose cat in her truck as she was turning into the parking lot and her foot slipped off the brake onto the gas. Apparently no one was hurt but still, it could have been much worse!

At our hospital we REQUIRE cat's in a carrier and I've seen some inventive carriers at times; a plastic storage container, a very large bird cage, several types of wire cages, a revamped duffle bag, pillow cases, cardboard boxes, all sorts of mesh type bags (all had adaquate room and ventalation, were securely fastened, and were only used for transport reasons) We've also seen cats that were NOT in carriers (or leashes) that escaped from the owners car and were never found again.

So in my opinion as long as a carrier has adaquate ventalation and room, I'd rather see someone use unusual things for a temporary carrier than the alternatives.
