Does invisible fencing work well for cats too?

I am moving to a new neighborhood with my 7 year old indoor/outdoor cat, i am worried that he will get out of the yard and be lost. Do you think the invisible fencing would work for a cat too? Has anyone got it for cats?|||I have a friend whose husband works for Invisible Fence. And YES you can use it for cats! Apparently they make a smaller, lightweight collar for small dogs/puppies and it works just fine for cats. I have never used one but I think it would be a great idea.





However, as someone already mentioned, it might keep your kitty in the yard, but won%26#039;t keep other animals out. It would be best to make your cat an indoor-only cat if at all possible. And definitely keep him in a carrier until you are done moving, because if he gets loose and runs off, he very well may get lost. At least keep him inside for a while after the move so he can get used to the new place. If you decide to let him outside, do so for only a short time, even on a leash if necessary so he can%26#039;t go far.|||You%26#039;re welcome! Moving is such a pain...hope it all goes well.

Only old cats know how to live in a city..|||no|||I%26#039;ve never heard it being used for cats. My personal opinion would be that it wouldn%26#039;t work for cats.





When you move to a new place with cats, you have to keep them contained inside their living area (ie; inside the house) for a minimum 7 days or they WILL take off and get lost. Cats have to become familiar with their new surroundings and know that this is their new home or they will travel.|||The fencing usually has a caution lable for cat%26#039;s, it should not be used for them!!!!|||Do not use invisible fencing for cats unless you want to harm them. your cat should be indoor/outdoor anyway because of what can happen to him. feral cats, evil people, feral dogs etc. He must stay inside at least 2 weeks to recognize your new home as home or will go back to the old home.


Come on people do some homework here!!!!|||Such containment systems are not safe for cats. Instead, you can do one of the following:


1. If your yard is fenced, you can make it cat-proof with a somple system of t-bars and garden netting. There are internet sites that show you how to do this and also several merchants who sell the system ready to be assembled. Some of these systems are truly inenious! Check them out. Just type %26quot;cat enclosures%26quot; or %26quot;cat fences%26quot; and you%26#039;ll see.





2. Buy or build an outdoor cat enclosure. This is what I chose for my own two out-doors loving felines. They are really indoor cats but they love to go outside once or twice a day. There are racoons, squirrels, other cats and dogs in my area and it simply is not safe to leave my cats outside unattended or unconfined. So I bought a gated chainlink doggie kennel 13ft long x 7ft wide x 7ft high and its accompanying %26quot;roof%26quot; and turned it into a kitty wonderland in the backyard. They love it.


If you%26#039;d rather build one, aain you can et ideas from internedt sites. Just type in %26quot;cat runs%26quot; or %26quot;cat enclosures.%26quot; All that%26#039;s needed are wood beams, chicken wire, staples, nails, muscle and time.|||probably not cause he will jump over it or climb around when they are on the other side it works the same way and he will not want to cross it then|||Hey, well the fence may work, but what about those that can come in the yard and possibly attack your cat? You wont know if there is an agressive male around or female





They have fences that are 6-8 feet high with netting, the tops are curved inward to prevent escape. Its safe four your pet . Or have a enclosure built and attach it to your window. So she can have limited roam while having access to the home.





With collars you may not know the affect on a cat. they may run beyond the fence and the device has a safety shut off after so many seconds.





So go for a enclosed area built or attacked to your window. Just need wood and stronge neting. A safe enviorment|||keep your cat inside at least 30 days so it knows exatley where it lives please do this i didnt and i lost my cat after i week
