just thought that I would add that I have 5 cats, only 1 is aloud outside, but very rarely. 2 cats are caged at night together. 1 cat is caged separately. The other two sleep on our bed. I cage the cats at night because it gives them a chance to sleep and they cant fight with each other. The 2 in together are a 3 year old pair of ragdolls and dont fight with each other,but they pick on the other 3. I have had people tell me that it is terrible to cage them but I think that they are happier because of it. They are given the run of separate areas of the house during the day and all seem very happy. I am saving up to buy a catmax enclosure very safe and secure but expensive. And yes cats arn't well thought of in the main, here in Australia, dont now why.Just enjoy your cats your way.
