I used this crate to transport 2 cats who react very badly in cat carriers. It was a perfect size for both a back seat or the rear section of my crossover. The cats were very comfortable and did not react badly or become ill on a recent 10 hour relocation trip. It was great because they could move around, get water, and curl up comfortably on their quilt. It was one of the best decisions that I made for this trip. The crate rattled a bit on bumpy sections of the road--mostly from the handle. I simply wrapped the handle with a paper towel and solved the problem. I would recommend this very highly for anyone needing to transport cats any distance!!!!
