Is a soft or hard pet carrier better?

First, hard carriers are much easier to clean than soft carriers. If your kitty makes a mess or has an accident, all you need to do is wipe down the inside with a wet cloth. In addition, your cat likely won't do much damage to the interior of the carrier with its claws. Hard carriers are sturdier than soft carriers.
