Customer reviews indicate that the carrier is not very durable and breaks down within a few uses.
"My kitten was not afraid to get into her new carrier to travel at all. I left it open and in the living room for about a week prior to traveling. She didn't throw a fit to get in or try to scratch me trying to get her in. Use the top entrance for loading and unloading during travel."
"The online description states that the carrier can handle 18 pounds. When I received it, the instructions indicated that my model is only rated for 11 pounds."
