Review on 🐾 Advanced In-Ground Cat Containment System by PetSafe by Bim Cook

The ONLY thing that worked. We have two very smart and patient cats. Our yard is fully fenced which is perfect for dog ownership but cats will climb over it like it's nothing. Our cats love being outside and they will stay in the yard while we are there. As soon as we turn our heads, phew, they're gone. With a busy road behind our house we don't want them to get crushed in the road. For years I tried to put up barriers. I've googled all possible solutions. I routed the electric fence wire upstairs. These smart cats just walk over it. They laid electric fence wires along the poles. They crawl around. I hung a wire mesh that others on the internet have found effective. nope They would ruin that too. You are geniuses at outsmarting my engineering efforts. My last ditch effort was to buy this anti-shock collar. Finally our cats were in the yard. You stay on the porch. They know where the limits are and they obey. I can leave the fence open and they'll stand right next to the line and watch but never try to get out. Some notes: the collars they come with are terrible. They pulled our cats' hair out. Easy to fix. Use a regular one (we use tear-off clamps) and punch 2 holes for the electrodes. Take a pair of pliers and unscrew the electrodes from the receiver, remove the garbage collar and use your own. I would be happy to recommend this system to others, but I refuse to constantly test batteries. Collars use standard CR1 3V batteries. Get them for cheap here at Revain. The branches I use have a plastic wrap that you need to cut off first to use. Just take the old battery out of the original case and install one of those cheap batteries and you'll be good for another 3 months. Our collars are no longer set to shock. They are now set to sound only (warning). Cats drop by sometimes. You'll hear a beep and jump back without being electrocuted. The hardest part is stretching the wire. I bought a shovel and pounded it with a sledgehammer to make a hole for the wire. There is a car that can be hired to dig a ditch. Sprinkler installers use it to cut through the lawn. I did it old school. Burying the wire is not that difficult. If you have a lot of possessions, buy more wire or buy it locally. Most of my wire is attached to the top of the fence. Remember that the wire goes through the walls. I routed a wire to our fence that extends outside the house. One day the cats were walking along the wall of our bedroom when a beep sounded. fence on the other side of the wall. Oops. I installed other invisible fences for my friends for their dogs. It looks like a quality product and cats don't mind having a neck receiver. I highly recommend this system. Just don't use their collar or batteries.[.]
