Is the bag suitable for large and heavy cats?

Yes. The HOP-ON cat backpack is built to be sturdy and supports up to 10 kg. This makes it suitable for larger cat breeds such as Maine Coons. Of course, your cat’s size also plays a role, but our furry product testers confirm: even a 9-kg Maine Coon feels safe, comfortable and ready for any adventure in the backpack.

Can the bag be secured in the car?

Of course. The HOP-ON is a perfect travel companion. Thanks to the practical loop on the back, you can simply thread the seat belt through it and secure the backpack safely in the car. This way your cat travels comfortably and you can focus on the drive.

Is the backpack suitable for air travel?

Yes. The HOP-ON cat backpack was designed to match the standard carry-on dimensions for air travel. It is therefore the perfect travel companion on a plane – lightweight, sturdy and comfortable. Tip: As regulations can vary between airlines, please check the exact requirements of your airline before flying.

Is the HOP-ON cat backpack escape-proof?

Yes, absolutely. The HOP-ON is equipped with zippers, a snap-button safety lock and an integrated safety hook inside. This allows you to attach your cat to a collar or harness so it can travel safely and comfortably – without any risk for little escape artists.

Does my cat get enough air inside the backpack?

Yes. Several ventilation windows ensure good air circulation while also allowing your cat to look outside.

Is the HOP-ON cat backpack easy to clean?

Yes. The removable inlay is machine washable and absorbs liquids, helping to keep the backpack hygienically clean.

A backpack for cats. Spacious with lots of mesh windows. Extra sturdy and softly padded. Your cat sits comfortably, and you carry it comfortably.

What we love about it:

From now on, you'll always be ready for the next adventure with your cat - in the city or on a hike. At first glance, your new backpack doesn't even look like a cat backpack. The only downside is that people will constantly ask you where you got it from. ;)

Highlights

Urban adventure. An eye-catching travel backpack for cat lovers in the urban jungle or out in the wild. Includes a practical luggage strap for long trips.
Light and stable. The material is robust and holds its shape, yet super lightweight.
Designer piece. You'll travel in style with this backpack.
Super hygienic. The inlay absorbs liquid, prevents leaks, and is machine washable.
Sustainability. An especially eco-friendly main material made from over 80 recycled PET bottles.

Description

A Cat Backpack for the Urban Lifestyle

Backpacks used to be something nobody wanted to carry, but thankfully times have changed. The market has never offered so many beautiful, sustainable, and well-designed backpacks as it does today – the kind you're proud to wear. Unfortunately, the cat backpack category has lagged behind a little – until now! We're setting a new standard with our backpack, designed specifically for cats and their owners. You can look forward to top-notch quality and style, while your cat's needs are met too. What more could you want? Now all that's left is to pick your next adventure destination.

HOP-ON: Hop Right In

Your cat can climb in comfortably through the front opening or hop in from the top into its new favorite backpack. Then the adventure can begin, with your cat riding along in the spacious, cozy-soft interior. Hiding away or looking out – both are possible, so just let your cat decide. And if things ever get a little too stressful, the inlay can simply be removed from the backpack and washed in the machine.

Bester Kauf!

Ich habe lang überlegt und den Kauf null bereut! Der Rucksack ist wunderschön! Es wurde an alles gedacht: Fach für den Ausweis, Haken um die Katze mit Geschirr zu sichern, kleine Fächer für Leckerlies oder Wasserflasche. Die Träger sind super angenehm auf den Schultern und man spürt das Gewicht der Katze kaum. Es ist 1000mal bequemer und schneller als mit großem Tragekorb. Bester Kauf!

Hallo,
Vielen Dank für dein tolles Feedback! 😺
Es freut uns riesig zu hören, dass du mit allen Funktionen des Rucksacks so zufrieden bist.
Wir wünschen euch weiterhin viele entspannte und glückliche Abenteuer zusammen!

Eine Investition, die sich lohnt…

Meine Katze liebt den Rucksack und er hat auch genug Platz, sodass die Katze sich auch während des Gehens hinlegen kann. Der Rucksack ist echt sehr schön verarbeitet und sie noch schöner aus. Wir sind wirklich sehr zufrieden mit unserem neuen Wegbegleiter!

Hallo Marion,

vielen lieben Dank für dein tolles Feedback – es freut uns riesig, dass ihr mit dem HOP-ON Rucksack so happy seid und deine Katze sich darin wohlfühlt! Schön, dass ihr jetzt gemeinsam bequem unterwegs sein könnt 😊

Liebe Grüße vom LucyBalu Team

Toller hochwertiger Rucksack

Wir sind mit dem Rucksack wirklich sehr zufrieden.
Und sind auch fleißig am üben für den nächsten Tierarzt Besuch das ist mit der Transportbox leider nicht mehr geklappt hat und unser BKH Kater ist mittlerweile sieben Monate alt und wehrt sich schon ganz gut😅 In den Rucksack geht er freiwillig rein. Sogar von oben kann ich ihn rein heben ohne Probleme.
Wir haben auch das Modell bekommen, wo man oben das Netz nicht mehr ganz aufmachen kann. Die Frage ist ob es das andere noch gibt? Aber ansonsten sind wir super zufrieden. Der Rucksack ist gut gepolstert für den Rücken.

Danke für dein tolles Feedback! Ihr habt schon das neu verbesserte Modell der Rucksacks erhalten– das Netz lässt sich bewusst nicht mehr komplett öffnen, um es stabiler zu machen und Ausbruchsversuche zu verhindern.
Wir freuen uns, dass deine Katze auch gerne freiwillig in den Rucksack geht, die Bilder sind auch wirklich super süß, vielen Dank !

Super! Meine 2 Abessinier lieben ihn. Sie nutzen ihn oft auch als Schlafplatz, sogar zu zweit!

Es ist einfach wunderbar, die Hände frei haben zu können, wenn man die Katze auf dem Rücken transportiert.

Vielen Dank für die tolle Rückmeldung!
Wir freuen uns, dass ihr so zufrieden seid. :-)

Virkelig god rygsæk. Vil jeg klart anbefale.

Very good design for my cat and I🌻

A spacious, solid, and well designed backpack for my ragdoll cat, who can easily get in and out, and for me, who enjoys carrying him around. It is good to wear in the city for our small trips to the vet, on a walk with the dog, etc. 🐾🌳🌻

That sounds amazing! We are very happy that you like the HOP ON!
Thanks for your feedback!

Great backpack

Great comfortable backpack, my kitten is at ease in the backpack and even crawls in it when it is just standing in the room.
I feel the cat is safe in the backpack. The ribbon to lock on their collar is perfect length. It even fits in my bike basket so that’s great too.

It seems like your cat really enjoys the backpack!
We are very happy about that and thank you for your feedback!
