Thank You, Marvin

For saving me quite a lot of money, it appears.

I just looked at the link the pet transport people sent to the carrier they favor, and it is nearly identical, if not exactly identical, to the one Marvin liberated himself from with ease by just clawing right through the mesh.

This will not work. Some of one-star reviews for this carrier mention shoddy construction and their pet escaping from it.

I just spent some time looking for other options, but I think any soft-sided carrier is going to have the same problem. They all have mesh somewhere.

What we need here is a hard-sided carrier that is 18” x 11” x 11”, but this so far does not seem to exist.

By the way, the pet transport service would have cost $7500-8000 for the two cats.

And buying the house would have cost this much, and the car that much, and so forth, but I can’t do it if I can’t get the cats there, so it’s a good thing I had not actually quit my job.

I guess I will stay in San Francisco and work one day a week, or be retired here, and walk around and enjoy the foliage.
