If the cat spent a lot of time outdoors growing up, chances are good it enjoys being outdoors as an adult. However, if the cat only knows indoors, then he or she may struggle with being outside, which is where these enclosures come in handy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big should an outdoor cat enclosure be?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo provide your cat with enough space to be comfortable outdoors, you want to find an enclosure that provides at least 7 square feet of space per cat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What can I put in the enclosure?<\/strong><br \/>\nYour cat may enjoy having items in the enclosure such as a food and water bowl, a scratching post, dangling toys, places to perch or lay, and other toys. The longer you keep your cat in the enclosure, the more you want to have inside of it to keep them occupied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fooubaby Cat Pop-Up Tent Fooubaby&#8217;s cat enclosure is a simple way to give your pet the option of being outdoors.
