Hey everyone!
My little Luna has been with me for 3 days now. The first night she was with me went very smoothly considering the big move but I realized I didn't sleep and wouldn't be getting any sleep as long as she was out roaming around even with the door to my room closed. So the next day we got her a big crate, put her bed, blankets, soft animals and toys in and that is now her own little bedroom!
We keep the door to the crate open during the day, closing it only for a short time when we can't keep an eye on her.
At night I close the crate, and she doesn't mind at all. When she's ready for bed she'll run into it, sit and wait for me to tuck her in! Then she'll only wake me up at night if she needs the bathroom. Other than that she sleeps/lays around/plays patiently until I wake up in the morning and let her out first thing.
She even starts to purr when I lay down for bed at night! Her crate is right next to my bed, so it's almost as if we're sleeping together!
Anyway with how much she seems to enjoy it and how comfortable she is in it. Plus the piece of mind it gives me at night and times when I can't keep an eye on her, I started to wonder if there were any added benefits? She's safe, has her own little space and it makes going in her carrier a breeze!
I searched online for thoughts on this topic and found quite a few varied opinions on the matter.
So my question is... what do you think?! Would you ever try it?
(please don't tell me I'm being cruel to her (as I've seen people commenting) on some sites. She is free to roam around for most of the day, and is only confined for night/short periods of time. Plus she runs to it and loves it)
