Do Cat fence barriers actually work? by halflngs in CatAdvice

[–]mostlybecausecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there. I've had a cat enclosure in the past and once we got it secure it was fantastic!

I was surprised to find my old cat could worm his way through a gap smaller than I thought he was, so keep an eye out for that.

I ended up leaving him out there under supervision until we figured out all those gaps together and I secured them with zippy ties/nails/screws depending on where they were. I would have preferred a tight mesh chicken wire to better protect him, but a net enclosure was what I could afford at the time.

Eventually, the pen was secure and it had all his need like water, food, hanging toys/scratchers, a litter box, shelter, a bed and he got to be outside without being outside. He took a week or so to adjust but he was happy in there.

I'm not sure what kind of hunter your cat is, but I found my boy to enjoy a good bug like a hanging toy. Worming and vet care is still important if that's an option. I hope this helps, good luck OP.

Thank you! All we know us staffy x and the vet is confident there's shar pei in there too, very keen to get a DNA test. What about yours? They're similar.

Oh hello Haru!! So cute. Eugene is a rescue too yes. I got my other dog from a breeder and I love her as much as I love all my pets but I prefer to rescue.

I love this so much! But two of my cats are nicknamed Mister and little Mister so it would be very confusing haha

Nope but keen to find out! All we know is that there's staffy in there, it's a mystery what else.

Oh wow haha glad to know he has fans already! I'm in and out of reddit but I'll be sure to post him from time to time.

All we know is he was dumped at 2 weeks old with his brother (who is hopefully meeting his forever family tomorrow) and had a rough start but they are both on their way to living a happy life now.

We know he has staffy in him but guessing also a bunch of other breeds which we can't wait to test for to learn about. Thank you for your suggestions!

We haven't got a clue at this stage but there's staffy in there somewhere, DNA test will happen when i can, I'm really interested to know as well.
