The Contain-A-Pet Containment System And How It Works
A cat
fence is almost an oxymoron. Cats are
notoriously hard to contain and direct, which is
why we have the phrase “herding cats” as a synonym
for something incredibly difficult. At the same
time, many cats long to spend time outside, where
they can chase birds, eat flowers and generally do
the things that cats like to do. It would be nice
to have a cat fence, but this has
generally not been an option.
The problem is
that cats are pretty much designed for escape.
They can fit their bodies through any space that
they can fit their furry little heads through.
They are incredibly flexible and remarkably
strong. They can leap many times their own length,
both across and upwards. If that wasn’t enough,
they are equipped with claws that are perfect for
climbing almost anything.
This means that
it is very difficult to keep any cat from getting
where it wants to go. Any cat owner who has a cat
that wants outside knows how difficult it is to
keep a cat inside. They are smart. They are fast.
And, they are very, very wily.
It’s difficult
to keep them in a space where you have four walls
and a roof, so how can you even hope to keep them
in a yard, fence or no fence?
Well, to keep a
cat where you want them, you would need a fence
that a cat couldn’t climb. It would also be one
they couldn’t jump, couldn’t dig under and
couldn’t wiggle through. It would basically have
to be made of glass, thirty feet high, and ten
feet under ground to even have a chance at doing
the job it was intended for. This might make for
an ideal cat fence, but unless you’re rich and
crazy, you’re probably not going to be able to
swing it.
Fortunately for
everyone lacking in the rich and mentally ill
department, there actually is a fence that fits
all the requirements for keeping your kitty safe
and sound in your yard. What you need to get is an
electronic pet fence which will keep any cat where
they need to be with a lot less stress and expense
than you would have trying to erect another kind
of fence.
How this
generally works is that wires are planted
underground at the perimeter of your yard. These
wires broadcast a radio signal, and this signal
triggers a correction when the pet, in this case
your cat, gets too close to your fence. It does
require your cat to wear a collar, if they don’t
already.
Here’s the thing
that most people don’t realize about cats … they
can be trained. What the electric cat fence
allows you to do is to train your cat not to leave
the yard. This is the proper use for an electronic
fence. If you just try to strap a collar on your
cat and rely on the correction to keep them in the
yard, it is not going to work.
Contain-A-Pet

Will it work for your cat?
Unfortunately,
cats are different than dogs and are a little more
difficult to contain. They only allow cat fences
to be sold by trainers/dealers who will be able to
work with you and your cat to help keep them safe,
healthy and in the yard. There are no high
pressure sales tactics. Our goal is your goal.
