The extension
Compact on the move, open at breaks.
On the move, the bag keeps a compact volume: it doesn't swing about and stays flat against your back. As soon as you set it down, you unfold the extension and the inside space grows — your cat can turn round, stretch and lie down.
It's the most direct answer to the real constraint of a backpack: anything that has to sit on your back is bound to be narrow.
Outings that last
Your hands stay free.
A hike, a weekend, a journey that stretches on. Your cat travels on your back while you keep both hands for the terrain.
A cat doesn't get used to a backpack all at once: you start by leaving it open at home, then closed, then carried by hand, and only after that on your back.
And at breaks when they come out, keep them in a harness and on a lead — the bag carries, it doesn't restrain.
Designed for distance
A hike, a weekend, a journey that stretches on: this bag changes shape depending on the stage of the outing, instead of imposing a single format on you from start to finish.
Compact while you walk
Closed, the bag keeps a compact volume. On a trail, through woodland or on a station platform, you get through without snagging on everything.
Roomy as soon as you set the bag down
At breaks, you unfold the extension and the inside space grows: your cat can turn round, stretch and lie down. On a long outing, those minutes make all the difference for them.
Air, hour after hour
The design is breathable: air circulates just as well while walking as when stopped. That's exactly what matters when a cat is carried for several hours, rather than in an enclosed space.
Worn on the back, hands free
The weight goes on your shoulders, not at the end of an arm. You keep both hands for the map, the water bottle, a handrail or a slightly steep stretch.
Breathability
Air, on the move and at rest.
A backpack sits flat against a body at 37 °C, on the side that ventilates least. It's the number one thing to watch with this format.
The breathable design lets air circulate while walking and when stopped. It doesn't replace breaks in the shade, but it makes a real difference.
Will your cat fit?
This bag comes in one size and is designed for a cat under 9 kg. But weight doesn't tell the whole story: two 6 kg cats can differ in length by ten centimetres. The three measurements below settle the question.
How to measure your cat
- Pop them on the scales, or weigh yourself with them, then without.
- Measure their length from nose to the base of the tail — not to the tip.
- Measure their sitting height, from the floor to the top of the head.
The real test: standing without lowering their head, turning round on the spot, lying down without touching both sides.
The three measurements to take
| Measurement | How to measure | Reference point |
|---|---|---|
| Weight | On the scales, or you with them, then without. | 9 kg maximum. |
| Length | From nose to the base of the tail. | They must be able to lie down with the extension unfolded. |
| Sitting height | From the floor to the top of the head. | They must be able to sit without bending their neck. |
One-size model, choice of four colours. If your cat is close to 9 kg, measure them before ordering rather than after.

The only choice to make is the colour: the bag comes as a single model. Weigh your cat before ordering — above 9 kg, this bag isn't the right one. And before a long outing, take the time to get them used to it in stages: a cat carried on someone's back for the first time needs several short trials.
Getting your cat used to it before the big outing
A cat doesn't accept a backpack in one go. Four steps are usually enough, spread over a few days.
-
Let them go in on their own
Put the bag on the floor at home, extension unfolded, and slip in a cloth that smells of home. No journey that day: your cat goes in, comes out and settles in at their own pace.
-
A few minutes on your back
Once your cat stays inside without tensing up, close the bag and carry it indoors, for just a few minutes. Walk gently: it's the steady movement that reassures them.
-
A short first outing
Choose a calm, short route, then lengthen it from one outing to the next. Distance comes naturally if the first few times go well.
-
A real break at every stop
As soon as you stop, set the bag down flat and unfold the extension: your cat stretches, changes position and catches their breath for a moment. Offer them some water, then close it up and set off again.
Frequently asked questions
What people ask us about the backpack
Which size should I choose?
None: the bag comes as a single model, available in four colours. The only thing to check is your cat's weight, since the bag is designed for an animal under 9 kg.
How does the extension work?
It unfolds when you stop, once the bag is set down: the inside space grows and your cat can change position. While walking, you keep it closed so the bag stays compact.
Will my cat accept being carried on my back?
That depends a lot on them and on how you introduce it. Some cats get used to it in a few tries, others will never like being carried — we'd rather say so. Go in short stages, and if your cat doesn't take to it, you have 30 days to send it back to us.
Can I take it on a plane?
This bag is designed for hiking and long journeys on the ground. Each airline sets its own rules on size and cabin access: check with yours before booking, as we can't guarantee it will be accepted.
Does it replace a harness?
No. The bag is for carrying your cat, not for holding them once they're out of it. At breaks when you let them out, keep them in a harness and on a lead: it's that pairing that avoids nasty surprises in open ground. For harnesses, the reflective model suits small builds (XS and S); beyond that, go for the comfort vest, available up to 3XL.
