Thanks for responding and I understand everyone's concerns. I have them as well. I'm not a new cat owner and I don't take cat ownership responsibility lightly. All my cats have always been treated as members of the family and I care about them all. My wife was a vet assistant for years, and i've...

Here's where my wife and I are at with this. Due to the wonderful way HOA's work we really can't put up the cat fencing even though I personally have no issues with spending the money on it. With everything we would need to get to make it work, it would made our yard look more like a prison...

Thanks for this suggestion, we are looking to do something like this. Like I wrote before our yard is really large I think something like this is do-able but it will probably cost around $2000-$3000 for us to get it done, and even then i'm not sure if we'd be able to cover "everything". However...

Like I said there's no way anything can get inside our yard (nothing big enough to cause trouble anyway) so I don't see how the dogs...

I'm sorry for the confusion, let me see if I can explain a bit better. We have an extremely huge yard with dozens of trees and a large grassy area and it's all fenced in. The cats and the dogs like to run all around in the yard and it's very safe. The cats however can jump over the fence or go...

Thank you for all replies so far. We've got dogs and a dog door so keeping the cats inside during the day isn't something we can do - but we can close up the dog door at night and keep them inside (assuming we can find them when it starts to get dark). In our situation we don't have to worry...

Hi All - We live in an area that has a lot of coyotes. We've lost 2 of our 4 cats in the course of the last 2 years and while we are concerned about the safety of the remaining 2 we are trying to balance their safety with what they want to do. In my experience - the indoor cats i've had and...
