How to Cage Your Cat and Cages for Transporatation

I buy a cage according to my cat’s willingness to enter the cell. Some cats will put up a horrible fuss when you are trying to put them in a cage.

I have bought a cloth bag for transporting my cats. The cloth bags work fine for a well-behaved cat. My cat Sebastian figured out how to unzip the cloth bag. The zippers seem to wear out quickly on the cloth bags.

Cages with a small door work fine for cats that do not mind going in and out of cells. Temperamental cats will put their foot in the way of the door, and it is about impossible to get them out of the small door.

I have several homemade cages that work well. They are made out of plywood. The wooden cells have a lot of holes drilled in them for ventilation. They also have hinges and hooks for securing your cat during transportation.

My favorite cage is medium-sized. The pen has a large frontal opening. The pen also has a door on top of the cell. The door on the top is the entire length of the cell. It is straightforward to get cats in and out of this cage.

I put the pen up on the end for cats that do not like cages with the door wide open. I then pick my cat up by the nape of his neck, put the back legs in first, and close the cage door quickly. Sometimes I put some tuna in a cage, and he walks right in and eats his tuna. He will think that when I enter a pen, I will get a nice reward and be more accessible the next time you want to transport him.

When transporting my cats, I always line the cage with paper towels or newspapers. This will make cage clean-up easy when you return home with your cat.

Happy travels to you and your cat.
