Re: Protect Your Car! Use PetSafe Premium Underground Cat Fence!

I think i do. I downloaded the whole instruction manual to review it. It is a shock collar pure and simple. If the cat strays out of the bounday it is given a warning bleep and then shocked. You can set the level of shock (4 levels i believe) that the cat recieves.

I fail to see why this would be any better for the cat than building a safe, humane cat pen, or cat proofing your garden (with cat nets etc).

EDIT: This is the homepage - you can find the cat gaden fence on here, and download the full instruction manual. Very cleverly it doesnt actually say on the site description (only in the manual) that its a shock collar. The online tutorial (yes i have just watched it) does refer it to being a shock collar too. Petsafe refer the shock as a static correction. They also sell a varity of dog boundaries too.

NOT IMPRESSED!

It costs $199 which is £143, for a shock collar which harms your cat.

Good luck with that........

That is very well to say - but how about letting a cat live pain free?

Re: Protect Your Car! Use PetSafe Premium Underground Cat Fence!

I have seen something even worse about them, if you cat was chased in panic out of your garden they then get shocked tring to come back in which can put them at even more danger than before! There have been reports of dogs and cats that somehow on the wrong side of the barrier recoil from the shock whilst trying to get home, only to run straight under a car.

I agree with shock collars being used as an absolute last resort in dangerous situations with dogs (ie Cesar Milan having his dogs trained not to approach poisenous snakes) as I believe a couple sessions of collar training better than the animal dying from curiosity and not having an instinctive fear which has been bred out... but not as an every day thing.
