This isn’t the exact pet backpack that we spotted in Taylor Swift’s Netflix documentary, ‘Miss Americana’ (and that’s definitely not Olivia Benson in the photo), but it’s close enough for us. Created for cats of all sizes as well as small dogs, this ventilated carrier is your best bet for safely transporting animals that tend to freak out in traditional carriers and cages — once inside, they can either sit down and peer through the removable bubble window or stand up and pop their head out of the top. The backpack is also airline-approved and can be slid under your seat on your next flight. Bonus points for it looking like a Poké Ball.
$42 at Amazon (Regularly $60)
