Photo Hunt: Caged

March 26, 2011 By: Sparkle Cat38 Comments

This is not my idea of a party.

We cats do not do “caged” very well, so my human had to go back to October 2004 (again!), when we had to stay at the Cat Hotel because our house was being tented for termites. My human actually looked all over the place for the photo card from that time to see if there were any interesting outtakes, but she could only find them going back to November, 2004. Figures. When it comes to finding stuff, she is pretty useless.

Could have been worse - it could have been a VET cage!

In my opinion, then as now, cages are not good things.

Would you want to be stuck in a cage with THAT face?

Especially when you have to be in one with an angry tortie! If I did not like being caged, Binga hated it maybe 10 times more! It is a good thing she did not behave that way when she was in a cage at Los Angeles City Animal Control, or my human would have never adopted her!

    We don’t like cages, either. But that cage is so huge! It’s much better than small ones!

    Three days is a cage with a ticked off tortie! That sounds like three very long days.

    If you had to be in a hotel you could at least have been in the Beverly Wilshire instead of a cage! Sheesh! And we think Binga is so cute there’s no way your human could have passed her up no matter what!

    Well at least you had a photo hunt picture, and a nice one at that (minus the cage). We couldn’t find anything, we have no cages here either, and no photos of anybody in cages. Better luck next week!

    We’re with you, Sparkle – no cage is a good cage. The Cat Hotel design is kinda cool. Our mom has been looking at things like that for a catio for us. have a great weekend!

    We don’t like cages, either, Sparkle. As for Binga … maybe the cage brought back memories of being at Animal Control…

    Have a great weekend, friends. 🙂

    I don’t like to be caged either, I can be terrified.When my beans need to travel many days, like when they go to Brazil, I have a “friend, a catsitter that came to our flat to give me fresh water and food and some cuddles! 🙂
    So, I can stay at home without problems.
    but I miss my beans a lot.When they came back, I pretend to ignore them for some days! LOL

    Hmmm, I go into my pen every night and it looks a little like your cage. I feel safe in it because I know the wolves and mountain lions can’t get me.

    You poor caged dears! At least you had a nice big cage – the kitty hotels around here have eensy little ones.

    Cages are bad things, but at least you had room to move around and climb in that one. I bet your ooman felt bad at having to put you there too.

    I think she remembers those days at LA Animal Control and that’s why she didn’t like being caged. But, whoa! look at the size of that cage.

    It was probably her time in Animal Control that made her weird about cages now. Gotta cut her some slack.

    ACK! We looked for Binga first off and thought “uh oh”…You poor thing to have to be so near a ticked-off Tortie! We avoid May Ling like the plague when she’s in a mood.

    Which is often.

    We don’t like having to go in our carriers either firstly because we don’t like being shut in and secondly because it usually means a car ride, and blood getting stolen too and lots of other unmentionable things.!

    We hate cages too. Luckily we don’t have to be in any right now. They really do make some cats kind of nuts. But Sparkle that is such a good picture of you standing on the gate. It is so sad when kitties have to stay in cages.

    How can you call anything with bars a “hotel”? Sparkle, I hate cages, too. Fortunately, I haven’t had much experience with them, at least none I remember, anyway.

    Have a good weekend!
