How to prevent cats escaping!?

Question

If you have an indoor cat and you are having renovations how do you prevent the cat from escaping especially when theirs lots of trades people opening doors!

Answer 1

keep them in a room with food water and cat box( a bathroom some type of room that is not being worked on) let the people coming in your home know where the cat is so that if they do need in there they will let you know to move the cat. Or you can buy a small crate to keep your cat in while they are there. Make sure it is fed and watered well though! Hope this helps! I have 8 cats and had all my windows reinstalled recently! It was hard but I did it! Don't forget to vote for best answer!

Answer 2

If there is not one room where they can be locked in,you must get a cage that is large enough for them,a litter box and food and water.A hooded litter box is good,since you can use the top of the box to put their food and water on.They will either hop up to eat/drink it,or stand on their hind legs.It's not a problem,I've done it many times.Sometimes these cages are much higher than even necessary,and they can be turned on their side to provide an even larger space inside for them.Don't trust any workmen.They must be locked up to be safe.And even though those cages have latches,I find them difficult to operate,so I use 2 padlocks,one on each end.You keep the keys with you.

Answer 3

You cant! Cats have a natural ability to hunt and roam. If the problem is so serious, build some fences or get the cats to sleep with you so you always know where they are.  

Answer 4

I would put them in cages until the renovations are done.

It may be tough on them for a few weeks, but it's a whole lot better than a can of paint falling on them or a hammer dropping on their head.

Answer 5

Cages????

Answer 6

you should have a relationship with it of teach it something or give it something to do and get busy at
