Colorful Cat Backpacks Feature Bubble Window for Traveling like an Astronaut

Your indoor cat will never be an astronaut (let's face it), but with the right accessories, your furry friend can feel like one. New York-based company U-Pet has created a special backpack that affords a feline the opportunity to experience the world at large. The well-ventilated tote has the functions of an average pet carrier, except it features a prominent bubble window–reminiscent of a cosmonaut's helmet–that provides the cat a clear view of the passing scenery.

U-Pet has created two distinct style of catpacks. One is a soft, rectangular shape while the other is an oval with a shiny plastic coating. Both include a built-in security leash, mesh panels, washable pad, and are available in a variety of bold colors. They'll undoubtedly make a statement as your tote your cat around town.

Here are some U-Pet packs in action:
