No more bloodshed at medication time!
Okay. It took me a while (read that as YEARS) to purr-fect giving my cats meds but I thought this was some information worth sharing to other cat folks out there.From time to time, your furry friend will need medicine and/or eye drops. They will unsheath the knife-claws under their murder mittens the second you start to give them their meds. What is a cat-lover to do?Get a grooming bagâTHIS grooming bag. There are fancy expensive grooming bags out there made with reinforced Kevlar. Iâm not joking. ð³. I donât have a fancy Kevlar bag but I do have the one Iâm reviewing and it works sufficiently to minimize bloodshed and agony.The next step is tricky. Stuff your panic-stricken cat into the grooming bag. They make Kevlar-reinforced arm-length gloves by the way. I donât have those because Iâve learned how to avoid the murder mittens from years of experience but I do have scarsâ¦..Anyway, prior to sweet-talking my kitty to coming to me, I cinch the adjustable neck all the way closed on the grooming bag. Then I unzip the large end. I catch the cat, then stuff it in the bag and hold it shut while carefully zipping it closed.*After the grooming bag is zipped, then slowly un-cinch the adjustable neck and allow the kittyâs head to poke through. Once its head is visible, cinch it back up around its neckânot too much, you want the poor thing to be able to breathe.Nowâ¦..bear in mind, this grooming bag is not an entire solutionâ¦â¦you still have sharp gnashing teeth to engage after the murder mitten threat is neutralizedâ¦..with experience, you and the kitty will both find a way to get around this. Sometimes, you need another human to hold the bagged cat down while you administer the meds/eye drops. That helps a lot.**After giving the kitty meds, give that poor traumatized creature some treats so they can forgive you for putting them through that. With time, they wonât associate meds as wholly badâespecially if they know theyâll get treats out of it.* Sometimes, the cat manages to escape this step and anyone nearby may take the brunt violence of a panic-stricken cat. My son unfortunately knows this too wellâ¦â¦so do this step away from people or other living creatures.** There are tips on YouTube on how to administer various meds. Many videos suggest wrapping the cat up like a burrito in a towel. That does not work and I have the scars to prove it. Cats are extremely agile and violent. They manage manage to wiggle free of all burrito-like towel wraps and inflict maximum pain and damage on anyone attempting to provide care. The grooming bag is the only way to go. That said, the videos do offer good tips for actually getting meds inside of the catâs throat.

No. Just no.
This is just ghastly. I also have an original Cat in the Bag, which is made with real cotton cloth, like sturdy denim, both inside and out so it’s nice for the cat and gets softer over time. This looked like a similar product for less, and I liked that you get 2 in the box. But you get what you pay for. It’s cheap fabric, but the worst thing is it is lined with some sort of waxy stiff plastic and it stinks to high heaven. A lot of things arrive with a chemical odor that just need airing out, but this is way beyond. I would never subject a cat to this, it’s awful. I’m sending it back and will get another Cat in the Bag, it’s more expensive but for good reason – it actually IS “comfy,” and doesn’t stink! (And they support animal welfare organizations.)That said, generally speaking, if you have a cat who hates carriers, this concept is worth trying (just not with this product). The first time I used a bag with my recovering feral, it did NOT go well trying to put it over her head and get it secured, but once I got her in the bag she was much calmer and didn’t practically hyperventilate all the way to the vet like she does in a crate. After that first rough start, the next time I needed to get her into the bag, I wrapped her in a towel first. This is MUCH easier on both you and the cat, especially helpful if you don’t have a second person to help.

Bad instructions
The instructions say that you should use your hand to guide Kitty’s face through the neck hole before putting the bag on a bit like a shirt.No! Reviewing video reviews show this is pretty ineffective and stressful for the cat.First step you should shrink the neck hole very small – smaller than you think your cats head will fit. Then unzip the bottom and place the whole thing over your sitting/laying down cat.Scoop kitty up under their body using the bag and zip it closed. Kitty will be confused/upset at this point. Make sure your cat can see light from the neck hole – Kitty will likely attempt to shove their face into the hole.Now that you only have to contend with your cats head you can much more easily adjust the collar so Kitty’s head pops out but not their shoulders/paws.The neck hole is huge I have to fold it over a bit to get it to fit my cats neck and theres like 10 inches of velcro strap flapping around.The bag has a very strong chemical/plastic/factory smell that I don’t like. I don’t think my cat loves it either. This might go away after washing but I haven’t washed them yet. The quality is also pretty cheap feeling.Once my cat is in the bag she doesnt seem to mind being carried around, but once I put her down she tries to get up and walk around which stresses her out since she can’t. Hopefully this lessens with desensitization. She hasn’t cried or drooled in it yet, which happens if we so much as suggest she might go into her regular carrier. – yes we leave it out all the time to get her used to it and she avoids it like the plague lol

Not as pictured
The color was as pictured, cute. But the picture looks like it is a softer nylon or blend bag that kind of forms around the cat for comfort. This was a stiff, oversized nylon thing that was so awkward to try and use my cats wouldnât get near it. The sound alone drove them off. They easily popped out of the front when I tried to put them in and just the overall stiffness wasnât anything appealing to them. Then the handle was just a sewn on braided handle which did not seem sturdy at all. I sent it back, it was a no go for my girls.

My cat refuses to use a crate cage, just canât get him in without a real fight, plus he gets car sick. With this bag, I can sneak his head in then pull the rest of him inside without a fight. Hold him in my lap with a towel for when he foams from the mouth and keep him clean. You get two.

The bags looked well-made, but the fabric is quite stiff, making it difficult to put them on my cats without a lot of objection on their part. They were not comfortable in â·the bags and just squirmed to get out. Also, my cats (Bengals) weigh approximately 9.5 lbs, and I couldn’t tighten the neck enough to prevent them from getting out of the bag.

I used this product to move houses with my cat and it worked quite well, I didnât want to do up the Velcro on the neck too tight but tight enough to keep her in and she was able to pop her head inside the bag but not get her body out.I liked using this as opposed to a cage since it kept her more calm being able to be closer to me.This overall worked very well I just wish the Velcro area around the neck was a bit more flexible, other then that itâs perfect.
Boo the cat –
Nylon canvas material is stiff. Combined with very scratchy Velcro openings that are too small to make even a small/average cat get in with ease. Arm strap for carrying over shoulder as in photo is too short. Cannot recommend this product.

It wasnât easy getting my cat into the bag. The fabric is quite stiff and made a crinkly noise. Once in you have to tighten the neck strap quickly or the cat will escape through the neck hole. It would be nice if it was made from a softer fabric. That being said, once in the bag with the neck strap tightened and back end zipped, our little cat was content on the 90 minute drive to the cottage. We have used it 4 times with the same results.
