Tall enough the cat doesn’t have to crawl into it. Most cat cages are roughly 10” wide 16-20” tall and 36” deep.
Go hawks

I like 18" to 24" but guys catch them in shorter. With limited traps I don't want refusals.
If I need a permit and education to buy a firearm than women should need a permit and education  before getting an abortion.

Voting for Democrats is prima facie evidence you are a skirt wearing, low T, beta male. Do better.

Here’s  one in a cam trip I caught the other day, I’ve had good results with these cages over the years and they nestle which is GREAT for saving space

Cats will crawl into the smallest area.  I've caught several in my raccoon traps 10'x12'x32"

I wouldn't be afraid to use a raccoon trap if that is all you had. 
That is all I used when I was in the ADC Business for Bobcats.
