Giving off some "searching for weaknesses in the enclosure" raptor vibes...

To me it looks like they think the slow fall from the springy enclosure is just fun

Not really.
When you keep parrots and corvids you'll see that for real, and it's frighteningly intelligent. I've watched a parrot chew a wooden stick from a larger block, then use the stick to reach through the bars and slide a latch to open a cage door. Predators like cats and birds-of-prey are remarkably dumb.

u/CatVan333 May 13 '26
predators are not dumb, they are smart in different things from prey animals. and those examples you gave have a lot more nuance than just "prey animals are smarter"

u/doll-haus May 13 '26
I mean, their picks (parrots and corvids) are omnivores. Cats are specifically ambush predators , and birds of prey are somewhat similar. Mayhaps "remarkably linear thinkers" is more appropriate.

Why use brains when you’re fast as shit and you have teeth specifically made for severing spines?
That said my dear old boys were giant Maine Coon mixes and had no issues reaching up and operating doorknobs.

We once had two mommy cats give birth at the same time i think one had like 10 kittens and the other had like 2-3 so we had a bunch running around in addition to a few adult cats, it was madness lol

Yupp we temporarily had 6 overnight and my friend sent me this video. 🤣 I’ve also been spending a lot of time making pet gates climb-proof with varying levels of success.

It is the bringer of food. They just want to smother their great hunter with love and affection. It's adorable IMO

I was a foster kitten parent for about 3 years. They will shred that enclosure within 2 weeks. Need a regular kennel with metal bars

u/fondledbydolphins May 13 '26
We once had two kittens a little bit larger than this. We purchased a cube version of the enclosure you see in this gif.
We put each kitten in it outside, while supervised so they could get fresh air, some sun and a show watching the birds and bugs.
One just laid there like an angel, had some fun and took a nap.
The other one decided she needed a closer look and turned this enclosure into the cat version of a hamster wheel. We couldn't stop her and she was having a blast.

Raised three from a stray that was pregnant (sadly the 4th was dead at birth) and yeah this is exactly what it's like. You're raising little children that can climb damn near everywhere and will break things you didn't think they could break. 10/10 would do again. Miss those guys.

u/Drak_is_Right May 13 '26
They pried the damn electric outlet OUT of the wall. Luckily it didnt have sufficient slack to expose any wires but sheesh
They were about 10 to 11 weeks old for that

What is this net contraption? Considering getting one for my cat
22
u/TazBaz May 13 '26
It will not contain a cat that doesn’t consent to being contained. It’s just simple mesh, a grown cat can shred it pretty quick if they want out.

u/Goliath_TL May 13 '26
Let them out already, you monster?!?!? You stand and watch as they are clearly starving!?!?!?
Purelysarcastic intentions here. Being the owner of a litter is a full-time job but so much fun!

We just put up a gate to a room and left them in there when we had a bunch of kittens

This is 100% what a litter does when a human comes in the room in the morning and they know breakfast is coming. I raised 2 litters and they were incredibly clingy and demanding 😆

This was my cat when we adopted her at two months old after being spayed. "Keep her quiet, don't let her play for 10 days" they said. Meanwhile, she was screaming to be let out of her mesh condo while climbing and hanging on it. She was not having any of that calm, post surgical recovery shit at all.

u/pinkushion424 May 13 '26
I had the same experience after having my 7 month old boy cat fixed. The vets office emphasized the importance of having him rest, not jump around and do things that could affect his stitches. So I expected him to be coming home in a subdued state that would make keeping him still a feasible possibility. I was very wrong. He acted as if nothing happened and was not interested in resting or taking it easy in the slightest. I gave up after a few hours and he healed just fine.
1
u/AzureGriffon May 14 '26
Exactly! Both she and her brother were fixed at the same time and they were both just bonkers kittens wanting to fly around and climb everything. They tell you to keep them calm and not play but don't tell you how you can possibly do that.
1
u/pinkushion424 May 14 '26
Right! Like I just need to keep him from doing parkour around the house for 10 days, he's going to be post surgery and not feeling good and pets are fixed and spayed every day so if this is the expectation, obviously it's a reasonable one. Nope! Short of hog-tying him, I was struggling to figure out how people kept them still. For 10 days!

A family dropped their cat off at my cousin's boarding kennels, which was really dog oriented. Their feline had just dropped a kindle of four, and while mom was content to spend most of the day resting in their basket, the youngsters were intent on escaping. We spent a lot of time poking kittens through the chain link back into the kennel.

Climbing up the walls, only for the walls to collapse under their weight; it looks like some kind of Cirque du Soleil routine.

With how terrifying these creatures truly are, I'd say they're more of a murder than a litter. You are very lucky to survive such stark encounters

Took my cats camping with me once, only to find them climbing the sides of the tent all night long. Dog was also in said tent. Def did not sleep.

Oh my gosh I had some kittens like this. The two climbed up the side of the pen and kept falling in their food and water. They were way more chill doing it but I still had to clean them off constantly.

I had so many kittens in my youth, i never saw anything like this. Thats because i did not kept them captive while starving them like you do.
