Do these kinds of containers work well? I always thought conventional wisdom was that they shouldn't be too small, but it would make sense that they prefer the smaller size.

It really isn't small, especially for only one cat. Might just look like it in this photo because the entrance isn't as big as the whole front of the container.

Sorry, should have been more specific. I remember that the cat should e.g. be able to stand upright in the carrier, though thinking about it a bigger space probably feels less safe to them. And since Miez still likes the carrier, it seems to be a good experience!

I mean this one looks huge in the picture, it looks like 3 of that cat could stand upright side by side in it, so im not sure what you're seeing.

No, it's too small for that. The cat would have to keep their head down.

The height inside is 30cm. She can't raise her head but she doesn't really have to keep it down either. Also since it's flexible she pushes the top net up to look around.

Awesome, thank you for confirming! I'll give this type of carrier a try when a new one is needed :)

For cobble stone the rolls are too small. However it's perfect for inside, so I guess perfect in an airport or a lot of train stations. The telescopic pole is really great.
