CAT tent ??

I have a CAT that travels with us. She is a FREAKY sort, and we need a tent , with a floor to keep her in, while she is outside. Any recomendations of which and where to get one that is 10x10 ( or so ) ?
  • What about a wire crate for her to sleep in while you are in the tent? Seems that would be the best solution instead of letting her roam free in the tent. You could get one for large dogs that is about 24 X 48. That should give the cat lots of room to move around.
  • Saw a super setup for a cat near Bend Oregon. The clever fellow had put a cat door inside his rig from inside to one of the storage compartments. When he arrived he would open the storage compartment and remove a collapsible wire frame crate. The lifted door of the storage compartment provided a bit of a roof, and the crate set up tucked in close to the wall of the rig with opening doors on both sides. The cat was free to go from outside in the crate to inside the rig through it's cat door, and the other door to the outside gave it's handlers a chance to offer food and water into the crate.
  • A collapsible wire crate is safer and more secure than a flimsy tent.

    Yeah......but can you make a 'habit-trail' with a wire crate :B

  • We have a large one which our cat Links just loves to stay outside in ...all day and night if we would let him. Also have a smaller one to take with us if visiting etc. (We also serve food to Links in the tent when he lets us know it is time to eat....as he does not want to even come in for that. LOL)

    My daughter has the same ones for her cat and when we are together both cats have a ball inside the tent, watching the world outside and wrestling when the mood hits them.

    We have had our original large one for almost 3 years. We take it with us to Florida and back, and it has been used almost every day 12 months of the year.
    Bought them both on Amazon.

    Gander Mountain in Ocala FL used to sell them. We have one for our cats but you can't leave them unattended in these tents or screen rooms, floor or no floor.
