How many square feet of cage space is recommended per cat?

Question

Is there a legal limit? I've been instructing 2.5 sq. ft. per animal in the larger cages, however, I pretty much pulled this number out of thin air.

Answer 1

Sounds like your estimate is much too small.  But you should be asking yourself the question "Why am I caging cats?"  

After looking at some of your other questions I hope you become acquainted with your local Animal Control very soon!

Answer 2

w-t-f  huh

even the humane society uses bigger cages

Answer 3

Are you serious?  Cats should never be kept in cages; they are meant to be outside animals; they are predatory by nature, not sedentary

Answer 4

What is the reason for the cages? What are the circumstances? Travel, play, bedtime, something else?

More info please.

Most catalogs of pet products and accessories include sizes of kitty condos and carriers.

Answer 5

what ever the size of the cage its is too small.cats shouldn't be caged and neither should wild animals they should be allowed to roam in their natural enviroment.

Answer 6

Don't cage cats. It is _not_ good for them. They need to be able to roam around as they please. Caging them is absurd. If they are clawing your couches or something, spray them with a bottle of water when they do.

Answer 7

Why are you caging cats? they should be free-roaming...and how many cats do you have that you plan on caging? I wouldnt cage a cat thats really not fair
