Buying Guide

Cats are much more than the cute, plump, ball of fur that they appear to be, as a lot of homeowners discover a few weeks after they get a kitten home. They can be rambunctious, hyper-energetic, persistent and have a short fuse to boot.

What are the benefits of having cat enclosures?

Cats need space. And if they do not find dedicated space of their own very early in their lives, they will take over yours. That translates into cat fur everywhere. And don’t you forget claw marks. And drool. And the occasional puddle of vomit. Yikes!

Right from your $5000 wool velvet upholstered couch to your designer jacket, your cat will reach everywhere. To keep this from happening, get home a cat cage enclosure. It will be the dedicated feline-land that your cat always dreamt of. And it will keep you from going insane gathering tumbleweeds of cat fur from every tiny crevice in your home.

What are the benefits of indoor and outdoor cat enclosures?

This has been an ongoing debate among pet owners since time immemorial. To be honest, each type of enclosure has its own perks.

In an indoor cat cage enclosure, your cat can stay warmer and you can keep an eye on them all the time. You can rest assured that they are protected from predators and that they can’t sneak their way out. But not all homes are spacious enough to accommodate a large cat enclosure.

Outdoor cat cage enclosures can be large enough to have a dedicated play area for your cat. Why, you can even have a cat run integrated into the enclosure and can even house multiple cats provided that they can get along with each other. Your cat gets some much needed sunshine too, which allows them to expend their energy.

How to make sure your cat is safe in its enclosure?

The cat cage enclosure needs to be secure from predators and pests. More importantly, it should be cat-proof. Cats can find the most innovative ways to break their way out of enclosures. A secure metal latch, possibly with a padlock is a must have.

How to make sure the cat enclosure is durable?

Also, cat enclosures must be sturdy enough to brave the elements. Enclosures with solid wooden frames are stable and won’t budge even on a windy day or even if a large predator, like a coyote, tries to tip it over. Metal frames, especially wrought iron and heavy duty steel are equally good. But they are prone to rusting. So, you’d have to cover them up during winters or be diligent with the weather-proofing.

Most cat enclosures will have a wire mesh design as it keeps the cage airy and bright. Line the bottom of the cage with cardboard or a plastic tray as it will prevent the paws from getting snagged in the mesh. Most importantly, look at the quality of the metal used in making the mesh.

Can your cat bite their way out? If it can, then a predator can also break their way in.
If the mesh is made of stainless steel, then 304 and 316 grades are the best choices.
If it’s made of galvanized steel, then look for one coated with PVC.

How big should a cat cage be?

Cats love the extra room. So if you have ample space in the backyard, pick the largest cage that you can and line it with cat toys. There can be a climbing system, a rope, a dedicated rest area, and a cat run that allows the cat to cater to its sprinting instincts.

The litter box and the food and water trays must be kept elevated off the floor if possible with an easy to access system. Large doors will allow you to clean the cage without crouching on the ground.
