Yes, but it cannot be kept closed for a long time or all the time. The cat needs to be given a certain amount of free space and time. If a cat is kept in a cage all the time, it will greatly reduce the cat’s space for movement and play opportunities, and it will easily lead to problems such as obesity and depression. If it is a multi-cat household, conflicts between cats cannot be alleviated due to the small space, which can easily lead to psychological problems in the cats.

Cats are naturally curious creatures that like to play and explore. If they are kept locked up all the time and eat, drink and relieve themselves in a space that is only a few tenths of a square meter at most, it will undoubtedly be harmful to the cat. In the long run, it may cause cats to be sensitive, irritable, and unloved; lethargic, listless, and unwilling to eat; lack of interaction between cats, and failure to integrate with other cats; suffer from mental illness, excessive licking, and stereotyped behaviors.

It is recommended that if you keep cats in a cage, it is best to equip the cage with equipment for cat play, and the door of the cage should always be open to the outside. Cats can move around freely in the home, and they can also go into the cage to sleep and rest. At this time, for the cat, the cage is a resting and activity area that belongs entirely to it, and the cat will feel at ease and comfortable.
