cat proof fencing

Kathryn · 03-02-2007, 11:28 PM

Hi, sorry if this subject has been covered before but new to this site & would appreciate any feedback. Have decided more or less to cat proof the garden, (sister lives next door so it would surround 2 gardens which gives the cats quite a good range) have spoken at length to secur-a-cat fencing & have been to see a garden with this type fitted, am still not 100% convinced the cats - at least one of them won't escape which will probably finish me as i need to keep them safe with the world as it is & the level of special need cats i own.

I would not be fitting the netting myself, as Secur-a cat offer a fitting service (or they used to)
i eagerly await your comments

I havent got cat proof fencing but I know of several people who have bought fencing from Roz at Secure a cat and they are all very happy with the results.

I have the secur-a-cat fencing from Roz. I got a friend of my dad's to fit it for me and have had it about 18 months now. My cats have never escaped and have in fact never tried.

Personally - I think it's fab and wouldn't be without it. My cats get to go outside in the sun and watch the birds etc and they are perfectly safe.

I did have a problem with a stray cat managing to get in, but that was partly my fault as there was a weakness in the netting where it joined one of the walls of my house, as there is a window there so it was difficult to fix it to the house. Anyway - even tho he got in and my cats watched him.........they still never tried to escape!! I think they are used to it now and happy with what they have.

Have your cats had free access outside before tho? I don't think it's fair to restrict a cat that has previously had free access outside. All of mine were either indoor cats before or I got them as kittens and they didn't know any different.

Ask me any questions if you're still not sure!!

You can see my garden and the cat-proofing in the background of this picture - taken last summer.
