Contained in the Cat Provider
The cat service appeared spacious sufficient for Violet. Violet weighed round 7.5 kilos at her vet go to.

The product dimensions on the service’s Amazon web page are 20″L x 13″W x 13.75″H.
I weighed the service as soon as it was assembled, and it was about 5.5 lbs with out the strap.

Prime Loading Characteristic
