Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can lock and adapt interchangeably to a plastic crate panel or wire crate panel; b) Can lock in horizontal position against the top panel of the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, to allow large dogs to enter and exit easily; c) Can lock in horizontal position against the top panel of the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, to allow interior space for better utilization for all-size pets; and d) Can allow a quick single movement to lock the door in a horizontal or vertical position. 2) It is another object of the new invention to provide a multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, having a palm knob. Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can conform to person's arthritic hand without bending fingers or hand, to lock and unlock the multi-function door system with minimal effort; b) Can allow other conventional grips on the palm knob, to lock and unlock the multi-function door system with a person's hand; c) Can allow minimal effort and contortion for a person's arthritic hand, to rotate the palm knob; and d) Can fit typical small and large sized hands. 3) It is another object of the new invention to provide a multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, having a spring-loaded palm knob. Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can conform to person's arthritic hand without bending fingers or hand, to lock and unlock the multi-function door system with minimal effort; b) Can allow other conventional grips on the spring-loaded palm knob, to lock and unlock the multi-function door system with a person's hand; c) Can allow minimal effort and contortion for a person's arthritic hand, to rotate the spring-loaded palm knob; and d) Can fit typical small and large sized hands. 4) It is a further object of the new invention to provide a multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, having a multi-function grooming platform. Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can quickly and easily be attached, to multi-function platform-locking shock-absorbing gusset systems; b) Can conveniently provide secondary location for a pet, to stand, sit, lay, or be groomed on; c) Can conveniently allow pet grooming, to take place in the same location as the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate; d) Can conveniently provide standing, sitting, laying, or grooming area atop the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, to take no additional square footage; e) Can conveniently provide alternate location for a pet, to provide them relief from confinement; f) Can quickly and easily be assembled and disassembled without tools; and g) Can quickly and easily be cleaned. 5) It is an even further object of the new invention to provide a multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, having platform dikes. Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can prevent pet urine from running off the multi-function grooming platform, to keep the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate and surrounding areas clean; b) Can prevent pet hair from falling off the multi-function grooming platform, to keep the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate and surrounding areas clean; c) Can prevent pet hair and urine from falling off the multi-function grooming platform, to protect the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate's crate area from contamination; and d) Can provide a comfort platform for a pet, to sit, stand, rest, and sleep thereon while being groomed. 6) It is another object of the new invention to provide a multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, having a multi-function slanted urine-storing bed system. Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can allow urine to run down the sanitary urine-storing gutters, to keep the slanted sanitary-urine-storing-gutter bed dry; b) Can provide gutter ridges to elevate pet paws from the sanitary urine-storing gutters, to prevent pets from stepping in urine; c) Can provide a comfort platform for pets, to allow the pets to sit, stand, play, rest, and sleep thereon; d) Can keep pets away and not on urine, to keep the pets dry; and e) Can keep pets away and not on urine, to prevent the pets from getting diseases and infections caused by their own urine. 7) It is yet another object of the new invention to provide a multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, having sanitary urine-storing gutters. Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can store urine running down from a slanted sanitary-urine-storing-gutter bed, to keep the slanted sanitary-urine-storing-gutter bed dry; b) Can store urine running down from a slanted sanitary-urine-storing-gutter bed, to prevent pets from being on their own urine; c) Can prevent pets from getting diseases and infections caused by their own urine; d) Can quickly and easily be assembled and disassembled without tools; and e) Can quickly and easily be cleaned. 8) It is still yet another object of the new invention to provide a multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, having platform-locking shock-absorbing gusset tabs. Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can lock the multi-function grooming platform, to the platform-locking shock-absorbing gusset tabs when the platform-locking corners are inserted under the platform-locking shock-absorbing gusset tabs; b) Can apply the downward pressure of the weight of the pet, to additionally lock and secure the multi-function grooming platform; c) Can secure the multi-function grooming platform atop the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, to conveniently groom a pet thereon; d) Can interchange from top to bottom, right to left, and front to back, to be economically manufactured; and e) Can save materials, labor, and time. 9) It is still yet an even further object of the new invention to provide a multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, having multi-function platform-locking shock-absorbing gusset systems. Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can absorb shocks and impacts exerted on the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, to provide pets with comfort while being stationary or transported; b) Can prevent all eight corners of the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate from causing injuries to people and pets, to make the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate safer to use; c) Can absorb vibrations exerted on the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, to provide pets with comfort while being stationary or transported; and d) Can resist the twisting, bending, and wobbling forces exerted on the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate to strengthen the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate. 10) It is still yet an even further object of the new invention to provide a multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, having curved gusset springs, vertical gusset spring, and horizontal gusset springs. Therefore, the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate: a) Can absorb shocks and impacts exerted on the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, to provide pets with comfort while being stationary or transported; b) Can prevent all eight corners of the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate from causing injuries to people and pets, to make the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate safer to use; c) Can absorb vibrations exerted on the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate, to provide pets with comfort while being stationary or transported; and d) Can resist the twisting, bending, and wobbling forces exerted on the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate to strengthen the multi-stacked-hinge-door pet crate.
