Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought the 6x4x8 cage to use as an outside enclosure for my two 12lb cats. I was expecting this to be great, but it is more than great, it’s freakin awesome! I wanted a safe place for my cats to enjoy the outdoors, something affordable, secure and easy to take apart if I decide to move. This cage is PERFECT! I was prepared to need to reinforce all the gaps with chicken wire, but this has been totally unnecessary. The gaps on the bottom, between the panels and next to the door are nowhere near big enough for my cats to squeeze through. There is no way my boys are getting out of there. If I had a kitten or a rabbit, I wouldn’t be so confident, but my cats aren’t tiny. When the cage arrived I took the panels out and to my back patio, had the cage up in 30ish minutes by myself. Super easy. The 6x4x8 is plenty big for what I wanted, the cats have a lot of room and I can stand up in the middle. The cage did come with a black top, but I chose not to use it because I wanted the cage to feel airy and open - and wanted my cats to be able to look up at the birds, squirrels and bugs. I was going to put some regular chicken wire over the top, but when I went to the hardware store they had some green plastic chicken wire, like thick plastic netting. It was much lighter, more pliable, wouldn’t snag my hair or scrape me, it's some good stuff. I secured the green plastic chicken netting with a million zip ties. There’s no way they’re getting out through the top. For the ramps and perches, I used 1”x8” boards. To secure the boards to the cage I bought some screw hooks and screwed them into the ends/sides of the boards so they could hook over the cage wires, and be easily repositioned if needed. I bought a couple cheap outdoor rugs at Walmart that I cut and tacked on top of the boards so the fur balls would have a comfy place to chill out and could get up and down the ramps easier. It’s perfect for them. They luxuriate in the warmth outside, chase bugs, meow at the birds and squirrels that taunt them. I can also keep my back patio doors open and enjoy the fresh air without worrying about my cats escaping. They’re very happy and I’m very happy!
