Do cats need crates at home?

Cats do not usually need crates at home, but there are situations where they can be useful. If you have a sick or injured cat, or a very young kitten who might not be safe when left unattended, you may want to put her in a cat crate or pen for safety, privacy and rest. Cat crates may also be useful when you are potty training a new cat or introducing a new pet into the household. Just be sure to monitor your cat and not to leave her in the crate for too long.

Do I need to crate my cat while I'm not home?

You do not usually need to crate your cat while you're not home, but there are some situations in which you might want to. You can use a cat crate to sequester ill kitties, and crates can also be helpful for nursing mothers with kittens. It is not generally recommended that you routinely crate cats when you're not home, so talk to your vet if you're having specific behavioral issues.

Should cats be crated at night?

Cats should not be crated at night unless there is a very good reason to do so. While it may sometimes be necessary to temporarily crate a cat for medical or safety reasons, it is not generally recommended. Talk to your vet about the proper ways to use cat crates, pens and gates, and seek guidance if your cat is having behavioral issues.

What are the best cat cages?

The best cat cages are those that are comfortable and safe for your pet to use. If you are looking for a good way to transport your pet, try a hard-sided cat kennel or soft-sided carrier that provides her with just enough room to stand up and move around. If you are trying to separate your cat from other pets in the house or trying to give her a private space to recover (say from illness or surgery), a larger cat pen or cat cage might be best. Be sure to choose a cat cage or pen that prevents your cat from escaping and make sure it is well-ventilated and comfortable, as well.
