Cage for convalescing cat

Hi all

Our young boy cat broke his back leg this weekend so he is awaiting an op followed by three to four weeks of cage confinement.

Does anyone know how large the cage should be? He's a small cat but obviously we want him to have as much space as necessary for him to be comfy for that long. Argos have a few that look promising.

I mentioned this on another thread but if anyone reading this is looking for a reason to insure their pet, we're looking at £1k to fix his leg and we have a baby due in 8 weeks! Next on my list is insurance for him and his sister, who is thankfully more sensible.

Thanks for any advice.

She's still used to him and his smell so not a bad overall reaction. (He's a bit boring, is all.) Maybe when the time comes to let him out, just open the cage and let them both go in and out as they wish for a day or so? That might help the transition.

Best of luck this evening.

We've already been Cosie - another month was the verdict. Not sure he will be able to go from cage to outside world, but I'm ignoring that nagging thought for now, because new baby will be days away by then.

Thanks for checking on him Smile
