Are cats happy in enclosures?Updated 5 months ago

Cats are happy when they are in a safe and comfortable environment. This is why it is so important to ensure your cat enclosure is set up with vertical climbing space and places to hide, as well as scratchers and toys for stimulation.

 

If you have a portable cat enclosure, this is a great way to enable your cat to be safely outdoors throughout the day. It is important that you connect a tunnel to a portable cat enclosure for access indoors or to a larger enclosed area.

 

If you have an indoor cat and are considering moving it into a portable cat enclosure, introduce it slowly to the new outdoor environment. Limit its time outdoors and be sure to remain with the cat inside the enclosure so it feels safe. Gradually extend the time your cat is left outside in the enclosure on its own until it has adjusted to its new outdoor environment.
