I used a collapsible dog crate from WalMart for my cats. We had bought these crates actually to transport two kittycats in each when we moved to SC from CT last year. It has a zipped mesh door and mesh on the two sides. I put a wrought iron plant stand upside down in it, thinking they might like to pupate on the legs of it, but no one did! Six of them pupated on the bottom part of it instead. I put in some twigs too, but they only used them for exercise. Most of them pupated on the mesh sides and around the door, thankfully none of them pupated ON the mesh door, that would've made getting in there to clean and check them out REALLY difficult! I made sure the door to the room stayed closed so my kittycats and dog wouldn't jostle their table at all and upset them.
