Abstract: A seclusion compartment for a pet has a floor, an upper plate, and a tent pole for separating and attaching the floor and the upper plate. A flexible opaque covering is attached to the floor and the upper plate to form a substantially enclosed compartment for the pet. The compartment may be attached to the inside of a pet cage, as by a nut and bolt. Ideally, the compartment is attached to the ceiling of the pet cage, so that it is suspended therefrom. An elastic band may be used to attach the opaque covering to the floor, and to allow a portion of the covering to be selectively positioned to provide an opening for ingress and egress by the pet. The seclusion compartment thus provides optional privacy for the pet within the confines of the pet's usual cage.
