I have had one for years.  Wouldn't buy another for any reason.  They will only hold arrows solid for a while then the foam smashes down and you get loose arrows.  It is also nearly impossible to replace an arrow if you have the cat quiver on your back.  Nope, wouldn't buy another.

Love them.  I have 2. The basic model and one with the pack and hdydro compartment but no side pockets. To get them to hold arrows decent you need to re-adjust the (top) foam or replace it with ethafoam and firmly secure it in place.  The foam is kind of folded into place and tends to move around a bit and is irregular in shape ,causing high and low spots, which is what causes the problems. The cloth cap also only has a couple contact points can stretch/shift a bit also so I kind of sew the top together. While they are not easy to get arrows back into while wearing, with a bit of practice one can become profficient.  I do have a bit of an issue with the plastic holder at the bottom as it can be noisy if you are going through brush.  I just put some felt over mine and on the aluminum supports. Another modification I make is to put plastic "quick connects" bottom of the padded shoulder straps. This allows me to slip out of it with minimal movement if needed.  I carry several different tips on my arrows for various game I may encounter. I just make sure I cut the arrows to appropriate length so they all have the same finished length  and fit in the quiver the same.  I should mention that I also have a 3 arrow quiver on my bow and basically use the Cat to replentish the quiver IF needed. That alows me to have minimal incumberance on the bow with a backup supply readily available and storage as I shed clothes during the day.. one other note: the larger packs have a plastic support keeping the pack away from the arrows. As you load down the pack this can cause it to "bounce" a bit. If you spend a lot of time hunting from the ground I think they are worth it, if you just hunt from the trees I wouldn't bother with one.
Just another worthless opinion!!

I've hunted with one for several years. I couldn't find a hip quiver I liked and just can't warm up to a bow quiver. Main problem I fiind is, that walking in with a treestand means that one or other goes in my hand. I will bungee the quiver onto stand if it's a long hike. If this one breaks I'll be getting another.
