How the calculation works
V12 calculation: minimumInternalLength=catLength+lengthAllowance; minimumInternalHeight=catHeight+heightAllowance; minimumInternalWidth=catWidth+widthAllowance. This is the implementation specification for this calculator.
Worked example
Example: Cat nose-to-rump length = 45 cm; Cat standing height = 30 cm; Cat body width = 20 cm; Length allowance = 5 cm; Height allowance = 5 cm; Width allowance = 5 cm. Result: Minimum Internal Width = 25 cm; Minimum Internal Height = 35 cm; Minimum Internal Length = 50 cm.

For what cat carrier size do i need, the limiting result on this page is cat carrier minimum internal size.
Direct measurement/geometry calculation. No external reference is required for the arithmetic itself; the result is derived only from the user-entered measurements and the formula stored in calculationLogicJson.
