On the Road

My human and I are headed for the TICA cat show in Las Vegas today! Originally we were going to fly, but my human wasn’t happy with the flights available so she decided to drive. Because it is such a long trip, while I’m in the car I’ll have a single version of the double Car-Go shelter I use for my show cage, but going into and out of the hotel, and to and from the cat show this weekend, I’ll be in my new Sleepypod Atom! It’s a small, efficient carrier for small, efficient cats like me. Plus it meets airline standards as an in-cabin carrier, for when I start taking plane trips, which could happen as early as the beginning of December!

I was very excited when the Atom arrived because it was the first package ever addressed to me personally!

I love the instruction card — it is in pictures, so even if you are kitty who can’t read, you can still figure out the Atom. In case you are wondering about specifics, it is 10.5″ high, 8.5″ wide and 17″ long — perfect for kitties up to 12 lbs. or dogs up to 8 lbs. For the record, I am a little over 5 lbs. and probably won’t grow to be much more than 7 lbs.

There are all sorts of cool little details about the Atom, like the way it can be fastened into a car seat with the seat belt, or placed on the handle of a rolling suitcase like you see here.

Of course I had to inspect it thoroughly. This carrier will be a big part of my life on many of my out of town trips!

Can you see how well I fit in here? All I need to do is pull my tail in and I am good to go!

I will have lots to report from my trip to Las Vegas! I will be meeting new friends, and this show has 18 rings over three days. Wish me luck and some finals!

Don’t worry, I will be home on Monday and we can chase each other all over the house again like normal!

Disclosure: The Sleepypod humans sent me this Atom carrier for free as a favor, because I am a blogging kitty with a lot of traveling to do!
