Lifetimes ago, the trailer for Taylor Swift's second Netflix documentary was released, and while the behind-the-scenes stuff seemed neat, it wasn't concert footage that piqued my interest. There's a shot where the singer boards a private jet (relatable) with Olivia Benson, one of her prized kitties . . . who happens to be in a backpack with a porthole window. I've seen cats in backpacks out in the wild — I do live in Portland — but this was one sleek AF cat backpack.

After some digging, I found the exact product: "The City Chic" Cat Backpack ($95) from Your Cat Backpack. While my cat is too, ahem, husky, for that option, we were able to secure a version from Your Cat Backpack that fit our needs. I've been using it for a few months now, and I have to say, my cat doesn't hate it! Take a look.

Taylor has the "The City Chic" Leather Cat Backpack ($95) for Olivia, who appears to be a remarkably chill travel cat. She has the brown version, but it also comes in pink!

My Cat in "The Fat Cat" Cat Backpack

My husband volunteered to model the backpack in our yard, though he said he wouldn't wear it out in public.

From what I could observe, Rigby liked that he could fully sit up and see out the mesh siding.

He was still very happy to be out of it.

Bonus: "The True Adventurer" Reflective Cat Harness and Leash

We also got him "The True Adventurer" Reflective Cat & Kitten Harness and Leash Set for Adventure Cats ($25), which we sometimes use when the whole family is outside and he feels left out. He's still getting used to it.
