Peanut, my cat, learned to beat the invisible fence that I installed
in
my yard. He was using it for about 2 years with no incident.
Peanut
did not seem to care that he couldn't get out. Then I turned down
the
"power" a bit, so he would have a slightly bigger area to enjoy.
Well, the new "power" setting worked fine for a few days. But then
he
somehow learned to escape. I think he would just run through the
shock
area... and once he got outside, he was fine.
The real problem is that I turned the power back up, but Peanut can
still escape. And I don't think training him on this system again
will
help.
I am considering purchasing something like this:

...which can not be escaped from. Do you think it will be difficult
to
re-train him? I know very little (i.e. nothing) about cat behavior.
All I know is that I am honored that Peanut allows me to commune
with
his graciousness. My master thanks you for your contribution. :-|
If your cat escapes IV then it will escape this. It's based on the
same principle and gives a static electric shock . Also this type of
fencing doesn't stop other animals getting into your yard. have you
thought about using a mesh fence? (Friendly fencing)
