Re: Would you consider this?


Can I just make it clear that it is NOT an electric shock collar. It carries a radio transmitter which gives off a tone when the animal gets close to the fence lay out.

Re: Would you consider this?


Now I'm really confused. How can a tone keep the cat from crossing the boundry?

I know you did but others are mistaking it for just that.

When the animal comes close to it, it gives off a sharp frequency tone which in theory should be enough to deter the animal to not get closer to the boundry.

Just been back on and looked more into it. It looks a real good idea but still not sure. It is expensive if you have more than one cat. Just thought of a problem with it what if you have a deaf cat. I know they should be kept indoors would they be able to hear it.

Well you wouldnt use it if you had a deaf cat would you, because it quite obviously would not work.
I think it seems like a really good idea and something I will look at. Emma's garden is quite big as you know so will all depend on the cost, but ill certainly be giving it ago if I can afford it.

Considering poor Jerry's problems at the moment, I think it would be a great idea! Yes, the system has flaws but what is perfect? Nothing that can't be worked around when putting on the thinking cap.
If it helped wee Jerry's cystitis/stress, it would be worth every penny
