Do you keep their kitties indoors-only, yet feel you would like to give them a taste of what’s out there – safely?
If you live in a city apartment, your options are usually limited to training your cat to walk with a harness and leash.

However, if you live in your own house, with a nice backyard, you may have considered a cat enclosure. A solidly built large enclosure can be just the thing – you can read more about how to build a cat enclosure here. Still, for many of us, actually building our own cat enclosure may just prove to be too much of a daunting task. This is where easy-to-assemble modular cat enclosures enter the picture.

This is a modular system where you use easy snap-n-lock frames, along with anti-rip meshed walls to quickly and effectively create a kitty enclosure right in your patio. If you click here, you’ll see a variety of pieces and add-on to the system too. You can add a gazebo or a club house, extra tunnels and sunbathing areas, you name it – build your dream cat enclosure!

Remember though – you should never ever leave your cat unattended inside the enclosure. It does not provide shelter from the elements, or from persistent dogs or other predators. Always supervise cats when in the enclosure!

Petmate Double Door Deluxe

A great solution for when you need to quickly and effectively put a cat into its carrier: a top-loading door. It’s much easier to get a reluctant cat into its carrier through this large door that takes it right into the wider dimension of the carrier. For ease of exit, you have the regular front door as well.

This is a fine, no-nonsense, airline approved carrier (always best to check with your airline carrier before the flight!). Sturdy, spacious and well aired, made of durable and easy-to-clean plastic, it will be just as great for short distance traveling in your car. For longer journeys in unfamiliar suroundings, you may want to lay a piece of cloth, preferably with the familiar scents of home, over the top of the carrier, to block the top door and create a more secure environment.

Cat Exhibition Cage

While this product was designed with cat shows in mind, it can be useful for anyone who needs to go on the road with a cat. It’s sturdy and strong, and offers your cat a large enough space to be temporarily crated in comfort.

When staying at a new place, be it a hotel room or the guest room in a friend’s house, your cat is at risk of running out of the home in panic and getting lost forever. You can’t very well keep your cat confined to a tiny carrier box 24 hours a day, can you? This is where a large cage like this one can save the day. 44.5″ long and 21″ wide, it gives your cat so much room than a carrier, yet remains a light-weight portable cage.

Breeders who are indeed looking for a show cage, may like to know that the internal space can be divided into to two, by rolling the center panel up and down. This way you could use this cage for one or two cats. Each side includes a name tag holder and has its own front panel door – perfect when you need to take your cat in and out during a show.

As to be expected from cat carriers and travel arrangements of this kind, it was built with ease of cleaniness in mind and constructed from nylon based fabrics. A wet cloth is all you need to wipe it clean, and the floor can be removed for a more thorough wash.

Yes, it’s very basic. But this is what’s so great about this cat carrier. It’s sturdy, lightweight, simple to operate and perfect for transferring cats around. Providing the right amount of ventilation while allowing the cat a sense of shaded security, you don’t really need much more from a carrier when you take your cat to the vet and back.

Note that this one is not airline approved, so more suitable for shorter journeys. Yes, the low price makes it ideas for multi-cat households, where owners need to keep a large number of carriers.

Remember, never ever carry your cat in your arms when going out of the house. Always use a cat carrier, unless your cat is leash trained and is out on a supervised stroll in familiar surroundings. Having trouble getting Kitty into the carrier? Try this article for possible solutions:
