Although it was not recommended to keep cats in captivity for a long time, if they had been caged for a year, they could still continue to keep them. However, he needed to change the way he raised them. Cats in captivity for a long time may have physical and psychological problems, such as physical decline, weak immunity, teeth may fall out in advance, digestive ability decline, cognitive ability decline, eccentric personality, etc., and may also have a poor relationship with their owners. First of all, the cat's activity space and time should be gradually increased so that it can move freely, run, jump, and climb to restore its exercise and improve its physical condition. At the same time, you can interact more with the cat, such as playing with toys, to enhance the intimacy between them and slowly improve their psychological state. They also had to ensure that they gave it enough care, including providing it with a suitable diet, clean water, regular deworming, and necessary medical care.
If a cat was kept in a cage for a year, there would be many adverse effects. From a physical point of view, due to the small space in the cage and the inability to effectively disinfect and disinfect, cats eat, drink, and defecate inside every day. Over time, the hygiene environment will become very poor and may breed a large number of bacteria. When the weather was hot, cats were prone to skin diseases, such as cat ringworm. If the cage was placed on the balcony, the cat's skin was at risk of being burned by the sun. If it was placed in a cool place, it would accelerate the growth of bacteria. Psychologically, cats loved freedom by nature, and long-term captivity had severely curbed their nature. In this case, the cat may suffer from depression. The specific symptoms are not eating or drinking, especially sleepy, unwilling to interact with the owner, rejecting others and curling up in the corner of the cage. At the same time, it could also cause the cat to have an extreme personality, lack of security, lack of care, become manic, aggressive, and make the cat more unfriendly, reduce appetite, and lose weight. In short, long-term captivity was extremely detrimental to the physical and mental health of cats.
Cats that were kept in cages for a year could have a variety of adverse effects. In terms of mental health, one might suffer from depression, which was manifested by not eating or drinking, being particularly sleepy, rejecting interaction with the owner, curling up in the corner of the cage, etc. There would also be continuous mental tension, obvious and frequent mood swings, becoming irritable or timid and easily frightened. It was also possible to urinate randomly due to excessive psychological pressure, such as deliberately urinating in a basin. On the physical side, there may be digestive system diseases such as frequent vomiting and constipation. Some cats have a reduced appetite, while others have an extremely strong appetite that leads to excessive eating and drinking. Their intestines will become fragile and they will vomit easily. Basically, around the age of 4, their immunity will be very weak. Their teeth may fall out in advance, their physical fitness will decline rapidly, their digestive ability will decline, and their cognitive ability will become weak. Most of them will not live past the age of 6. They may also suffer from severe hair loss, excessive fat, or emaciation.

Whether a cat cage was necessary or not depended on many factors. Cat cages were more common in pet shops, catteries, or cat cafes. For example, pet shops basically used iron cages, while catteries or cat cafes might use larger wooden or glass cages. However, for domestic cats, cages were rarely used, and many owners chose to let the cats move freely. However, there were also some special circumstances that required the use of a cat cage. For example, there were male and female cats at home that needed to be separated (for example, some families had four female cats and one male cat), or to prevent the cat from climbing the bed, or when the owner was out for a short period of time and worried that the cat would run around alone at home (especially in the apartment building, it was easy to have accidents if it was left unguarded). However, keeping a cat in a cage for a long time had a great impact on its personality. For example, it might cause the cat to be less active, insecure, cautious, and rarely show close trust with its owner. Therefore, the need to buy a cat cage depended on the specific situation.
It is possible to keep a cat in a cage for a period of time under the following circumstances: 1. ** When Kittens Just Arrive Home **: Kittens are timid when they just arrive home. Cage rearing can make them feel more secure. Furthermore, if the kittens had a disease, to prevent the disease from spreading to other parts of the house or contracting other diseases, caging was also a better choice. 2. ** Cats who have just undergone surgery **: Cats who have just undergone surgery are injured. Cage rearing is good for adjusting their physical condition, especially those cats who are too active. Cage rearing is good for physical recovery. 3. ** When the cat at home is too naughty **: If the cat has midnight parkour or wantonly demolishes the house when the owner is not at home, regular caging can solve these problems and avoid being abandoned because of these behaviors. 4. ** When family members are allergic to cats **: You can control the living environment and distance between the pet and family members by caging them regularly. 5. ** When your cats are pregnant or giving birth **: You can prepare a cage for them. 6. ** When a new cat comes to the house **: It needs to be isolated in a cage first. However, it was necessary to pay attention when raising cats in cages. The cage had to be bigger. The International Cat Federation's CFA stipulated that the minimum living space for cats was three square meters, and the corresponding equipment should be equipped to ensure the basic activity needs of cats.
