Cat Containment Fences - What Works To Contain Maxie The Cat

Maxie is your classic "Tom Cat"...rangy...he hunts...he gets into a friendly scrape with other cats, eats, sleeps, cuddles and essentially does what he wants to. But, if you want Maxie The Cat to stay home, or to keep other pusses from wandering into Max's territory what should you do? One solution, perfectly matched to Max's nature, is the next breed of cat containment fence ideas.

How Can A Cat Fence Contain Hard-Wired Climbers? Claws, fangs and an over-supply of fast twitch muscles and elongated tendons and ligaments make Maxie The Cat the supreme runner-jumper-climber. Since Max can climb virtually anything, how can cat fencing work to neutralize his overwhelming natural instincts? It turns out that cat kingdom representative, Maxie, conceptualizes climbing in part as a physical I-can-do-this...so long as what I climb on appears sturdy. Enter the mesh nylon fabric see-through fluttering cat fencing solution!

What does Maxie see...and why won't he climb the cat fence? The cat fencing fabric looks unstable, and doesn't offer up a clear jump-and-hold tactile surface. Result? Maxie "quits", and cannot overcome his natural instinct to test the cat fence.

Creating Happier Pusses With Cat Containment Fences. Maxie The Cat wants to be outdoors. It's in his nature. Being safe, outdoors, filled with the rush of stimuli flowing to him and activating his sensory palette makes Maxie happy, reduces the risk of depression and cat-scratching boredom, even may reduce the stress related indoor urinating which can rapidly escalate into a house-wide pungency and cleaning nightmare.

Free to wander at home, yet passively contained by his cat fence, Maxie is no longer at risk from aggressive neighbor dogs, roving predators, unbalanced humans along with the potential health risk of disease-riddled stray homeless cats.

Passive Cat Containment Fence Versus Electronic Cat Fence Designs. Fabric mounted cat fencing may not be 100% full proof, however this sort of cat fence does not impose any "behavioral modification" pain-or-pleasure training onto Maxie as do the wireless cat fence products. Here's the real deal on the category of electric cat fence systems: any electric fence for cats does not "hurt" when Maxie receives the "corrective" shock. However, like dogs trained via shock therapy and radio pet fence system, Maxie will learn to associate his movement as a go-no go fear of identifying "safe" zones where no shock occurs. Could an electric cat fence create a deeper, and irreversible fear and anxiety in Maxie? It's possible...so why risk it! Once "trained" via shock and fear therapy, neither Maxie nor his Wizard of Oz counterpart, Toto, can be easily un-programmed.

Cat Proof Fence For Outdoor Cat Containment

Many homeowners are distraught with their cat escaping the property and roaming outside. A simple wooden fence will not always keep your pet contained, you will need to cat proof your fence for true cat containment.

If you live in a residential area is not prone to cat predators such as coyotes and owls your cat proof fence can be made of simple netting material that can go on an existing fence or be put up even without a fence. The net bends in, which is why cats will not climb it, thereby serving as a type of cat enclosure.

Existing fences made of wooden planks or chain links should be repaired prior to beginning your cat enclosure DIY. Place guards around any trees that run alongside the fence to ensure there are no escape holes for your cats. Make sure there are no sharp edges or nails protruding to keep your cat safe.

To attach a simple garden net to your fence you will need a few garden poles, some fishing line and twist ties as well as a staple gun. All materials are very inexpensive and readily available at your local hardware store. Some cats learn to rip or push through the fence. A double layer of netting takes care of this problem.

Your cat may need to adjust to their new cat fence and may even be angry at first. This will usually pass as they become accustomed to their new outdoor enclosure. Spending time with your pets in the garden can help them feel more at home and less caged.

If you are worried whether your new cat containment area is escape proof, watch your pet closely for the first few days. They are sure to try to find escape routes. If they do you will have the opportunity to close them off until none are left.

Building a cat proof fence is an easy cat containment solution for private home owners that would like to keep their pets contained and avoid the dangers of the neighbourhood. Alternately you may choose to build an out door cat run or outdoor enclosure to better suit you needs.
