I wish we’d discovered the Cat Fence in System years ago. We now have two cats with kitty litter box dilemmas. Bob (who includes a broken spine, so he can’t really help his problem, but it still causes messes for all of us to deal with) and Sheeba, who has some misfiring brain wires. She doesn’t act like any cat I’ve met, and she likes to pee all over the house. We’ve arranged our lives across the problems of these cats. Litter boxes everywhere which can be cleaned out all the time. We do not have a couch or soft chairs anyplace because Bob would ruin them. All bedroom doors stay shut at all times to stop furry intruders doing their thing on our beds. We’ve seen cat behaviorists. We keep the laboratories in business with how often we outline urine samples, and an acupuncturist for Bob. But I don’t think an elimination issue should equal a death sentence, and so we’ve lived with it (and cleaned up after it) – for years. Our other problem was that people don’t are now living in a safe area for the cats to go outside. We live in a townhouse with a parking lot out front, and a different one behind it. These cats have been indoor cats their whole lives. I don’t think they’d stand the opportunity outdoors. I am aware the area cats pretty well (better than I am aware our neighbors, my hubby would say) and few of them stay around for long. It just isn’t a cat-friendly environment. I’m a veterinary nurse of nine years and have helped patch up (or put to rest) way too many cats from the bad end of encounters with cars, dogs, or unfriendly people to take outdoor life lightly. Then when we made the decision to start out letting them outside, I was torn up about this. I couldn’t emotionally handle them anymore, but was frightened for his or her safety. I began to research if there were any safe methods to teach older cats some street smarts, with the goal of making a safer transition to being outdoor cats. I came across the affordable cat fence-In System. I was shocked that in my almost twenty years of working with animals that I’d never heard of anything. It’s great! It’s really a netting system that goes around the most notable of your fence, and keeps the cats from being able to climb out. They stay safely in the yard. Basically the netting is attached with the fence and also to brackets that hold it at an angle, into the yard. If the cat tries to climb the fence, they run into the netting without any way to circumvent it. You can find two versions. One that just sticks out into your yard, and keeps your cats in, called the Strato Barrier. It could be utilized on fences over 5 feet tall. The other, called the Combination Barrier, also sticks upward, and will prevent other cats from having the ability to enter your yard. The fences only have to be three feet tall for the Combination System to work. This is the system we picked. Seemed like a negative idea if other cats could get into our yard, but not back out again. We’d have a little feline cage match on our hands. We now have a hard fence. It’s irregular high, increases an abrupt slope, and is very short in places. Probably on the worst case scenario side in terms of instillation is concerned. I cannot say it went up effortlessly, but it was straightforward, the directions were clear, no great mechanical knowledge was needed. Having a couple helped. We’ve had our system up for about a month now, and it really works. I have the house straight back. Now my cats get to sleep in the grass, chase bugs, and lay in the sun without dying. They still come inside at night and in inclement weather. Bob loves playing outside during the day. Sheeba does not think it’s great, but, like I said before, I am sure she’s mental dilemmas. No matter what she thinks, it’s a lot better than being locked in the bathroom the remainder of her life, and that’s her other option at this point. This method generally is a lifesaver.
