Cats don’t like to be in cages, and they’re quite good at getting out. The smarter ones pick the locks. Others do a kind of boneless octopus thing and seep out between the bars. Gives me the willies, watching ’em do it.
On the whole, it seems wiser not to keep the cat in a cage.
Oh my goodness! I was holding my breath with a couple of these. That last little one was hilarious, climbing out the top lol!
Two things struck me as I watched this.
One: The nonchalance of the cats after they had escaped. They instantly regained their composure and walked away as if it had all been a mistake and they were never supposed to be locked up in the first place.
Two: Even small kittens seemed quite skilled at escaping. The little one sitting beside me as I write was locked in a cage for a few minutes when she was nine weeks old. Almost instantl, she figured out the latch. She wasn’t strong enough to overcome the spring tension, but she at least knew how to go about opening the cage. And this is from a kitten that could comfortably sleep in my hand.
I noticed the nonchalance too and thought it was soooo typical 🙂 Fun times ahead for you it sounds like – perfect!
The die is cast at this point. She’s the brains of the operation and I just work here. 🙂
Good for you! You caught on quick 🙂
She says I can answer yes. 🙂
Her Majesty 🙂
She told me I couldn’t answer you on this one.
Gotta go. Time to polish her sterling silver cream bowl. 🙂

Houdini had nothing on these clever little rascals.
You said it, Erlene! “)
Lee, here is a worship song suggestion for later: Hosannah,which means,
God, Save Us.
Cats in a cage is wrong. When I see those commercials for the Humane Society and cats looking so sad and melancholy in cages it tears my heart apart.
I know just what you mean. I DO love cats.
The shelter where we got our kittens lets the cats have the run of the place–much to the disgust of the dogs.
Cats have the natural right to disgust dogs. 🙂
