My vet mentioned Great Owls, but I've never had a sign of them. Iâ€8482ve never seen a hawk around here either. I think this has reduced the predator problem to almost zero. The most important thing was to keep the cats from going near the woods across the street. Their survival potential...

There’s no razor wire, but the fence does resemble the outdoor area at a JDH. Here’s a photo of one of the two gates. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e2...-06024gate.jpg This picture was taken from the deck above before the bottom wire was attached. The new fence is not touching the...

We were blessed with a stretch of nice weather this week so I got motivated and finished it. Actually, there some cosmetic touches still required, but the enclosure is 100% functional. The reaction from our cats has been mixed. Panda has always enjoyed a lot of freedom. We just bring her in...

On a side note, we were able to have UPS remove and return the duplicate order of fencing at no charge to us

I'm working on one currently. The photos I have so far are only of preliminary work. I have made much progress today and I will try to take more photos soon. They will be located in this thread: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho...t=78887&page=2

I worked on this for 5 hours today and made good progress. Unfortunately, I didn't take anymore pictures yet. That's ok, I'll show you the 'before' photos. We had to clear a lot of brush away from the perimeter so we could roll the poly-urethane mesh by there. I’ll have to be more...

Sure. Folks have posted photos of their enclosures of varying sizes here. Usually cyclone fencing and 2x4's. They always end up looking like a zoo display and are generally the size of a room in your house. If this fence doesn't keep my cats in the yard, that's next, but I would prefer they...

enough negatives. The installation DVD is pretty good. Itâ€8482s an hour long and not only explains how to assemble the fence (A LOT of assembly required), but tackles many of the on-site challenges youâ€8482re likely to encounter. The initial sales pitch for this product is outstanding and...

it took a lot longer to acquire the materials than was advertised, but we're in business. I claimed that we'd be done before spring but we just got started. Both the weather and some less-than-purrfect communication by the folks at the cat fence company sidetracked this project for a month...

That'a an amazing mental image. Those two would make quite a team. We adopted a new kitty 3 days ago and Kyra is already part of the team. She's quite a sweety and for the life of me I can't understand how anyone could let her go. Some conflict as to her age...she could be anywhere from a...

Thanks for the welcomes! Its been 11 days now and I don't think I'll see my little friend again ....but good news! We just picked up a new kitty today from a foster home! She's a one and a half year old tuxedo. Really sweet. She paces a bit, but if you get down on the rug, she'll rub and...

Thanks you guys. You guys are really nice! I donâ€8482t know if I am strong enough to read other folks miseries in this section of the forum yet. With Linus gone now only 10 days Iâ€8482m kinda on an emotional roller coaster. I will probably put in a few words for him here soon…but not...

:::continued from: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78976 Hank had made some messes on the rug and had lost a lot of energy. It was summer and I let him in the back yard in the evening. He just lay in the grass in an awkward position. I closed the driveway fence to keep the...

I use to think that cats wouldn’t stray too far from home on purpose because they know where the food bowl is. I’ve since heard of several other cases where they have attempted to relocate in an attempt to upgrade from an overpopulated situation. Now I don’t even think it’s a rare occurrence...
