Additional wire may be bought at £9.95, to widen area!

I was thinking thousands of pounds lol silly me

For two cats you just buy another collar (£69.99), and Casper can join in the fun!

Pat, you are not reading this right, it is NOT an electric shock collar!!!!!!!!!!

But how can a TONE possibly deter a cat? Sorry to be dense but this makes no sense whatsoever to me ........

And what is to prevent another cat or a free roaming dog to come into the area?

Thats just ridiculous, ofcourse you wouldnt consider it if the cat was deaf

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.

May well be worth some more investigation....

The theory is that it's a short sharp tone which would give the cat a little fright on aproaching the boundry, the idea being that the pet would learn where the boundry lay.
It wont stop other cats or dogs from getting in. With respect to dogs, the client and Erin's gardens have sufficient fencing to stop dogs wandering in but not other cats.
I'd be more interested to hear from people who have this system and what their opinions are but where to find them....

I googled 'cat radio wave fences', and found quite a few reviews on it. Will try and find again and post link

I still cannot see how that sharp tone would deter a stubborn cat; he's soon learn that the tone, while annoying and perhaps a bit scary at the first, was not going to harm him in any way, so would cross the boundry. It might work for a timid spooky cat ....

Well who knows??? Maybe it would work for some cats and maybe it wouldnt work at all.....
