How much OUTDOOR space do cats need?

Answer 1

It depends on how the cat feels about it's surroundings. If it has a cat with it from the same litter, they will get along in the same space, but if the cats aren't from the same litter, they may not get along as well.

Answer 2

if your cat is an indoor one then none but if it is an outdoor cat you cant keep it in a cage you need to give it a reasonable amount of room normally an acre at least but there is no limit to how much room

http://en.allexperts.com/q/Cats-1606/2008/9/confined-area.htm This guy keeps his leukemia positive cats separated from other cats, with some in rooms as small as 10'X10', and I've had 2 cats before living in my room (12x18), and they had access to the master bathroom through a cat flap I had installed in the door (8x10), but I also spoiled them, (9 ft cat tree/toys/interacted with them a lot) and they seemed really happy.

I did take them outside occasionally on a leash which they liked. From what I saw they were pretty happy, if you're limited on space try to add more vertical space for them to play or hang out on, bookshelves, cat trees, or hammocks/perches attached to the roof (doesn't need to be girlish or look like it's owned by a crazy cat lady, I'm a guy and my room is pretty modern looking), just give them more stuff they could do when you're away. Oh yeah try to keep it clutter free, it gives the impression of more open space/less confined.

Answer 4

Well, my cat is 9 pounds and he is too skinny. My other cat is really fat and he is 16 pounds. So I'd say 11, 12 or 13 pounds is around average.

However, keep in mind that every cat is different. Some cats are small while some are huge cats with a lot of muscle. There is no "correct" size for a cat, as long as the cat's weight is healthy and matches his or her size.

Answer 5

Cats benefit from having access to outdoor space for exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction. Ideally, outdoor space for a cat would include safe and secure areas for exploration, hunting, sunbathing, and other natural behaviors. The amount of outdoor space needed can vary depending on the cat's individual preferences and habits, but having access to a garden, enclosed patio, or catio can provide enrichment and improve overall well-being.
