A recent article in Veterinary Practice News says that researchers recommend feline cages have clear doors so cats can see out (or covers they can see through), shelves or perches that allow cats to climb and lounge, and a hiding place for stressful moments. If possible, an opening between two cages that allows cats to have one compartment as a living space and another for their litterbox is ideal. The goal is to make cats as comfortable as possible, which will promote good health.
