Cats can be kept in cages, but it's not recommended to do so for extended periods. While cages can ensure a cat's safety and prevent it from running away or getting injured, keeping it in a cage for long periods restricts its movement and can negatively impact its physical and mental health.

Cats are free-roaming animals and need ample space to move around and explore their environment. If possible, it is recommended to provide a safe, comfortable, and spacious environment for your cat to live in to ensure its physical and mental well-being.
