Cat backpack carrier fit
Enter the measurements above to calculate cat backpack carrier fit.
How the calculation works
V12 calculation: weightPass=catWeight≤carrierWeightRating; heightPass=catSittingHeight≤carrierInternalHeight; weightMargin=carrierWeightRating-catWeight; heightMargin=carrierInternalHeight-catSittingHeight; overallPass=weightPass AND heightPass. Angle inputs are explicitly converted to radians before trigonometric functions where required.
Worked example
Example: Cat weight = 5 kg; Cat sitting height = 36 cm; Carrier rating = 8 kg; Carrier internal height = 165 cm. Result: Fits; Height Margin = 129 cm; Weight Margin = 300 cm; Height Pass = Pass.
