Fences - Cats - DIY?

As the owner -- more like servant -- of cats these many years, I have to agree that almost nothing will stop them getting over a fence.

You might be in for some frustration trying workabouts like you suggest.

Have you checked out DIY electrical deterrents?

Also spraying fences with whatever animal smell is most repulsive to cats?

Last, it's been suggested that turning a hose on the invading cat repeatedly and forcefully might get it to reconsider whether it's worth entering the premises.

This is about keeping cats from getting IN

Keeping them from getting OUT is a whole nother ball-game. I never had any luck, even blocking up every possible exit point. If your situation lends itself to creating a cat-run with chicken wire, at least the cat can get some outdoor R&R.

Good luck; you're going to need it!

Try

to be fair, you could just set the follow-up to misc.consumers.house and that would get it out of rec.gardens

I removed rec.gardens from the newsgroups twice. Once Shelly put them back, and I don't know who put it back in the post above. This time I put it in so that you could read it. Finito, OK?

'Gold Coast fences'

Here lies bunny? Huh?

Nah. 'His fur coat'.

I still don't get it. What has that to do with anything?

OK, "hic jacet lapin" is one of the 4-1/2 Latin phrases I remember. It's suppose to translate, colloquially, as "=C4ha! So THAT's what it's about!" In this case, our friend's beef about fluoridation might be a window into his weltanschauung (world view).

I put my cats out all the time, tied. They look forward to it. It requires certain precautions.

I'll add. They like me sitting with them outdoors. They can enjoy walks on a leash. Not all cats adapt well.
