Traveling with a cat on Lufthansa from Mumbai to Toronto

I am very confused and any pointers or advise or notes will be of great help:

I am traveling with my 6 kilo cat on Lufthansa via Frankfurt, the concern is I have a soft sided bag which meets the 21x15x9 inches dimension but she also has one which is approximately 23x15x16 and hard shell.

Would they allow that in cabin?

Best Answer

See Transporting animals as additional carry-on baggage in the cabin, especially "Specifications for the transport container":

"The maximum size is 55 x 40 x 23 cm (22 x 16 x 9 in).". The container has to go under the seat in front of you, so the dimensions really do matter. 23x15x16 is likely to be too tall to fit.
