A lot of people say that caged cats put cats in jail, right? But really, everything has two sides, cage also has advantages and disadvantages, let’s talk about it today!
Let’s start with free-range cats.
It would be nice to be able to keep kittens loose, because cats naturally love to jump up and down, and it would be nice to have a place where they can hop around and play, and we all know that being loose is a much more comfortable way for cats to live, especially adult cats, and they don’t like being stuck in a corner. But there are problems with free-range farming.
Benefits: Free range allows the cat to bring out the excess energy, but also can raise a good personality, and the intimacy with you can also increase. They can walk around their owner at any time, and the owner can communicate with the cat in all aspects, and the cat will not gain weight if the activity is enough.
Disadvantages: Being praised by the God of free-range also has disadvantages? Yes, that’s for sure. It’s true that not all cats are cute and silly. Some cats are called a skin, and if you leave them alone, they can chew through your wires, tear your toilet paper everywhere, and make a mess around the house that you don’t know what to do. On top of that, if you have a sick cat in your home and you don’t have a cage to keep them apart, there’s a good chance they’ll get cross-infected.
Note: Free range is good, but it is not suitable for everyone, every cat, don’t listen to others, one thing depends on their actual situation to make a decision, don’t say that you make a prison for the cat, you will start to mutter.
Let’s talk about caged cats.
Many people have told me that keeping a cat in a cage is like torturing the cat for a long time. It’s like putting them in prison. But in fact, if your cat is too naughty, or someone in your family is allergic to cats, putting them in a cage from time to time is a good idea for both cats and everyone.
The upside: No matter how long you and your cat have lived together, your habits and routines are bound to be different, after all, you are not the same species. In a human-led life, we do have the right to keep a distance between our pets and our living environment. Some cats like to run around in the middle of the night, and some cats go crazy when their owners are not at home. Because of these, many people abandon their cats. Many people tell me: “I can’t stand my cat’s bad habits, I don’t want him.” In fact, a cage can solve the problem.
In addition, if there are some special circumstances, cage is also quite necessary. For example, if the cat at home is pregnant or has given birth to a kitten, the shovel officer can prepare a cage for them, and if a new cat comes to the home, it must be placed in the cage for a while.
Disadvantages: the advantages naturally have disadvantages, you solve the bad habits of the cat at home, but also limit its freedom. For cats, the cage has to be large, the International Federation of Cat Lovers CFA rules, the minimum living space for cats is three square meters. So you have to be careful not to buy that kind of single-layer and small, just a little bigger than the cat cage to keep them.
Note: to give the cat a large space, but also to meet all the needs of the cat’s life, food bowl, birdbath, litter box, cat nest these are not less. In order not to let the cat in the cage too bored, you can also prepare some toys for the cat, and snacks.
Finally, I actually recommend half caged.
But in fact, whether it is free range or cage, I do not recommend, half cage may be more suitable for cats.
For example, when you sleep at night, if you keep a cat, Moami will run wildly, will step on people, and can make a fuss for a night so that you collapse, in order to get a good night’s sleep, it is very good to plug into the cage. Wait many times, the cat will know that it is time to sleep in the cage at night, and it will go to sleep.
Or when you go out, it’s a good idea to put your cat in a cage in order to ensure that your house doesn’t look like robbers have robbed you when you return.
You can have a cage, but the cage can not be used as a punishment, it is a tool to help you, you need the cat to cooperate with you, put them in, and slowly they will understand your meaning.
Of course, usually also pay attention to the cat’s diet is healthy, do not give the cat random eating, especially human food, eat too much, the cat may have tears, hair, etc., so try to give the cat to eat cat food, try to eat some low salt and low oil, good for the cat.
