I have two cat carriers... one that is ideal for long car rides, the other that is ultra-portable and designed to fit under airplane seats. Cally is a petite cat, so she has always fit into small carriers without issue.

That said, she has endured all-day car rides a few times, as I moved from Indiana to Georgia to Tennessee. That is why I invested (it's a high price!) in the
Sleepypod. I liked the cushioned interior (which is removable and washable) that made it seem like a bed. I also liked how it could be buckled into a car to keep her safe while in motion.

My smaller carrier, the
Argo by Teafco Petaboard, is a much more affordable option. It's very collapsible when you're not using it (perfect for apartment dwellers!) but big enough for a cat to stand (almost fully) and move around within it.

This carrier is made for a pet 12lbs. or less, so it may not be an option for larger kitties. (Cally has never been over 12lbs., she is small-boned!) But I like that in a pinch, this is approved to fit under an airline seat. Cally hasn't flown before, but I like the option. I actually have two of these Argo carriers (one was meant for sweet Barley) for when I'm ready for a second cat. It occurred to me that I might take both pets into the vet at the same time (multitasking!) so I wanted to have it for that reason.
