I just wanted to rave about this product!

I have thirteen cats, a dog, and house with a doggy door. There is no way to keep the cats in. Needless to say, I have not been that popular with the neighbors, and I have spent numerous sleepless nights worrying about my cats.

I have tried to work with the nieghbors who speak their concerns to me, so far as buying them cat repelants, offering suggestions to help keep cats from their gardens, etc.

However, many neighbors do not say anything. At least one has been setting cat traps and killing cats. (They have not gotten any of mine, but I believe they have gotten some neighborhood pets, as well as some ferals.)

So I decided I needed to find a way to keep my cats in the yard. I looked into full enclosures of different types, and, for the most part, found them way too expensive.

I did find, though, several companies that offer cat fences that attatch to the top of an existing fence. They are plastic mesh, and the theory is that since it is flimsy and unstable, cats will not try to climb it.

After fixing some problem areas, and patching a couple holes, I am so happy to say that all my cats are safely contained in my back yard and house. They can go in and out as they please, but in safety. (Not to mention that my neighbors seem a lot friendlier.)

I wish that somebody had told me about this before!! What a great solution to letting cats play outside, yet keeping them safe at the same time!

Mine was purchased online from a company that I am very happy with at a very affordable price.

Here is a link to do-it-yourself version.
