What are some things to put in a cat enclosure?
March 8, 2010 - 6:13 pm
So i need ideas, but since im a first time cat owner im not to sure what a cat would like or not in the enclosure. So i need some help.
And please answer if you have/had a cat, thankyou 
Uhhhhhhh the enclosure will be out side, so she doesnt hurt the wild life while im not at home.
Something to scratch, something to pounce, something to swat, something to hunt.
Something to snuggle in, something to hide in, something to eat and drink from, and something to destroy.
Each cat has different needs and different ways to spend their time.
Each of the above will hone your cat’s senses in some way or another, or comfort him, or keep him occupied.

1) your cat will hate you forever because you’re putting her in an enclosure and they like to do whatever they want… not be put up in one specific room forever.
2) toys, litter box, food and water, and a scratching post.
toys would be a feathery toy, ball that makes noise, a fishing thingy (it’s a stick with a stretchy fabric then whatever toy at the bottom)
try and make sure the litter box is cleaned at least once every other day.
give fresh water daily, feed 3 times a day (small meals) and give your cat wet and dry food
throughout the day, not always one thing for days.
cats prefer scratching posts that are flat compared to ones that stick up.
3) make sure there’s a window in your "enclosure" (cat prison) so it can at least look outside… it’s their most favorite activity out of everything they do.

Depends on where and how big the enclosure is. Have you just one cat? Are you keeping him/her inside or out side. If outside you will need a shelter for him/her that will withstand the cold. How cold of course depends on where you live. Most people keep their small animals inside and only let them out to run occasionally. Now your cat will want to run and clime. Some type of cat tree would be great. It’s a cats nature to hunt and stalk prey. Be sure there is some type of toy on a rubber band that will bounce and attract it. Cats love puzzles to figure out. I keep my animals in but each one of us is different and must meet their needs as best we can. You will of course want water and cat kibble out and then offer moist food once or twice a day. Don’t forget the most important thing of all. Human contact. They need to be petted, loved and played with; Bring them in your house several times a week so they will know how to behave. Have a litter box where they can take care of business.
As you get used to your cat, you will finid many things that you can share

I live in the Tropics of South Florida. We have Jungle setting, and my husband has put chichen wire over most of it. So our cats can’t get out and nothing can come in.
You don’t say the ages of your cats, are they going to be indoor or out doors cat. It is very important to get them neutered or spayed. That Will keep them close to you.
They have big cages but depending on the question and more information. You can look around
But please get them fixed

table tennis balls are great, scrunched up paper is always entertaining, try putting the paper in an old sock with some treats in the bottom, feathers are good for natural instincts, small stuffed toys are fun to chew.

A safe tall plant or small tree or bush.
A box to hide in in case they feel threatened.
A litter box.
A water bowl.
