It’s clear that sharing one carrier between two cats is not always the safest option, partly because of the carrier itself. You’ll need to find a carrier designed to hold the weight of two cats.
Traveling can also have stressful effects, and transporting two cats often means that there’s going to be double the stress because they lose control of their routine and their territory.
Cats also like to claim things and rarely love to share; take, for example, their cat trees and litter boxes. To keep them happy, we usually have to have two sets of those things; otherwise, we risk triggering their competitiveness.
Sharing one carrier can provoke aggressive behaviors and lash out at each other. Furthermore, the stress of moving, let alone being in a small space together, makes it easy to redirect their aggression onto each other.
Aside from aggression caused by fear, or territorial competition, if one of your kitties is sick or has a medical condition, cats with health issues might show signs of aggression.
Can You Put Two Cats In One Carrier When Traveling By Air?
With airplanes, you need to follow specific regulations. Each airline company has clear guidelines on whether pets can travel in the same carrier while on the plane.
