"Over the river and through the woods, to Aunt Ruthie’s house we go … “ My peeps aren’t world travelers. The only time they travel is during the holidays to visit family. The Cat—ME—has to stay home. I have to miss out on all the fun and the delicious food. Last year they even saw real
PTUs. They come in all sizes, shapes, materials, colors. What do they all have in common? Cats hate them. Take out the PTU and we’ll go scurrying under the bed or to our safe place where you can’t find us. If the PTU has made an appearance, it likely means a visit to the “stabby place” or something equally as horrifying. Just like we have strategy, humans need strategy also. But this article isn’t about strategy or the art of avoiding PTUs, it’s a review of a PTU that TW was kind enough to pick out for this campaign, The Richell USA Double Door Pet Carrier.
Since I’ve come into this household, I've had a hand-me-down PTU aka Pet Carrier from the dark ages. It was bought for Chizzy, a 25-lb kitty and then used by Nicky and Autumn. You can imagine how big that PTU is. I bet a Great Dane could fit into it! TW loves that this new PTU from Richell® is smaller so I won’t slide around in it. She thinks I’ll feel more secure. She also likes that it was easy to put together. My vet will like it cos there are no small screws to lose when she takes it apart to examine me. Those aren’t the only things to like about the Double Door Pet Carrier.
Some features that make my new PTU special: It has a see-through top door which makes it easier
You can follow them on Facebook and Twitter to find out more about their other high-quality pet products.
Here’s a little video where I get my introduction to the new Richell® PTU. I’m totally checking it out and then I notice TW is filming and I vanish.
See, PTU’s are nothing to be afraid of. Now back to my dream sequence. OK everybuddy SMILE and say “STUNNING.”

That's the pet carrier we need!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for reviewing and telling us about this product. It will definitely make our lives easier.
XOXO
Nice one CK. Lucky for us we never need one. Have a terrific Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
We hadn't heard of this carrier, CK. Interesting. One of our top-loading carriers is starting to show fatigue in the plastic near the hinges, so the head peep wants to get a closer look at this one. With all of our weight on the top door, she's cautious about how it latches and how securely it stays shut when it is carried by the top handle, so she is going to take a closer look at one and see if it might work for us!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your review. I've never heard of the company, but their carrier sounds pawsome! I love that it has no small screws that we have to struggle with!
ReplyDeleteThat was darn good CK and that PTU does look really good!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you might approve of the new carrier. Seems like a nice place to rest and call your own if you have to leave the house. Maybe your people will travel with you more now that you have a fancy new travel accessory.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool carrier, CK. I don't know why more companies don't make top loading PTUs...they make life so much easier!
ReplyDeleteCK you did an excellent job on reviewing this PTU!! Loved all the photos and your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteGreat review ! We're not afraid of our PTU as we use them daily as beds or hiding holes ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteOh, CK... this is the funniest review we've ever read! ..between the lines that is. haha!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a real well designed carrier and would make things easier (for the humans) during those evil vet visits.
Love your video too! Especially you looking out the sunroof!
: )
That's a great review CK. My PTU is ancient and only has a front door. It's always a fight with mum trying to get me out at the vets. Can you believe that sometimes it gets tilted and I get tipped out with her still trying to wrestle me out.
ReplyDeletewow! Such a cool product!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
We are strangely not afraid of the PTU here. Mom actually leaves it out for us sometimes because we like to play in it. We're a bunch of weirdos. Mom says that she need to get a new one though, so perhaps she will have to check out this one. It looks cool, and much more fun to play in! Ours only has one door.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review!
Great review CK! I have a double door carrier (not sure if it is the same brand) and it is fantastic. I LOVE that I no longer have to shove Cody into it lol....
ReplyDeleteA great trick to help with the fear of the PTU is to keep it out every day. That's what I do. I keep a soft pillow in there and the door open, Cody goes into it quite often to just relax. This way, he associates it with comfort instead of just using it to go to the vet.
Loved your graphics too!
As PTU's go, that one looks pretty good. I like the door on the top.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great PTU...not that we like PTUs...but if we did, we would like that one. Mainly because it has 2 doors.
ReplyDeleteWhoa - CK... did you just walk into that PTU willingly?!?
ReplyDeleteYou really learned me a lot about that PTU CK. The Farm cats need some new ones so I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Mom was never able to stuff me in the PTU when I was little but this one actually looks COMFORTABLE. I go to the stabby place on harness/leash but Mom often says she'd prefer me to be in a PTU (HAHAHAHA...dream on Mom). ANYWAY, nice photos CK - you did a good job 'splaining the new PTU!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sammy
Looks like a great pet carrier! We got the hands free gate and love it!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great carrier and the folks should be expecting a beautiful cat at the Thanksgiving feast!
ReplyDeleteC.K., Mom just got us a new carrier. It is one of the wheelie kind. Giulietta used it to go to the Vet and Astrid as been sleeping in it. She says she really likes the look of this one as well since it appears to be easy to open when she needs to retrieve us. Thanks for an excellent review. Hope you get to do some holiday traveling. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteWow CK dat's a purretty cool PTU. But yous did hightail it outta there when yous saw TW. Sowwy but we fawt dat wuz so funny. We luv ow stwoller and luv to go out. Course weez do cuz weez been twained too and mommy always takes us fur sumfin' fun even when we go to da VET/stabby place. But lots of times mommy will just take us out to walk wound da complex so we stay used to goin', and it stays out all da timme, so weez can use it fur nappin', hidin' and playin' in. So weez not see it as a bad fing. Maybe sum da yous will like yous PTU too.
ReplyDeleteLuv ya'
