dog fence for cats?
| Sat, 04-09-2005 - 9:04pm |
Hello everyone!
We have been keeping all 5 of our cats indoors since we lost one last year to a car and one of them, Tazzy, was outside for three years so he cries a lot and sprays everywhere now that he is indoors. My hubby bought an electronic dog fence and put it around our backyard area and the collar gives off a little shock when the animal gets too close to the wires but I am afraid that it is too big for my cat. The two prongs which are aimed at his neck are thick and the hardware on it is about three inches long and a little heavy. The makers of the fence say it is okay for cats to wear but I am still concerned. Any advise would be very helpful!
Thanks from Raegan and Furkids!

I DO NOT THINK THAT IS A GOOD IDEA. IF YOUR CAT RUNS THREW THE ELECTRIC FENCE THEY WELL NOT COME BACK. I DO NOT BELIVE THEY ARE MADE FOR CATS.

Hi Reagan.
You have to let him get used to the harness and leash gradually. Put the harness on him in the house and just let him wear it and get used to it.
