My catio on Sunday in the snow! Only Pudding ventured out, and Jumpy briefly

Anyone know how I can cat proof my TV?
My 2 weeks old 55” tv has been broken by the screen being bitten.
My now worried about what to do with my new tv? I want to put it on the wall but then worried they’ll try to climb it...
I’m just so anxious at the moment. Any advice would be great!

Hoping for some advice on where to get started with cat proofing, we adopted 2 cats who had been indoor only in June last year, at the time we were in an apartment, but 6 weeks ago moved into a house. We now have a nice rectangular garden which we think would be easily cat proofable but dont know where to start. 2 of our 3 fence sides have neighbours-do we need their permission or as it's on our side is it ok? I Lso arent keen on the betting type, but is this the most effective? The cats actually show 0 interest in going out, they like looking at birds but dont ever go near the doors, bug we thought when we finally are allowed visitors and have warmer weather ut would be

Oops posted too early...
It would be nice to have the French doors open without worrying about shutting the cats in another room first!
If anyone can advise where to start with companies to give quotes/reliable kit to DIY that would be great

*also mean I'm not keen on netting, not betting, flipping autocorrect! But if thats the most reliable so be it, they are far too precious to get out!

Highly recommend Protectapet

If you want to go the DIY route, there are kits you can buy from secure-a-cat which include the poles and netting. I recommend them, very easy to install.

Ptotectapet also do DIY kit and are very helpful, their netting works so they cant climb out as it wont take the cats weight, this is my Protectapet area which is screwed into the patio as I have no fencing and you can take it with you

Hi,

We have (DIY) Felisafe brackets and netting on our wooden fences, but have adopted 2 cats which are undoubtedly more agile than my late tabby was, so we're reviewing the system and we have a few tricky areas that will need some thought and modifications.

Does anyone know where to get those things to hang around a tree trunk? They look like a netting hanging basket? To stop them climbing up?

Sorry if this has already been covered in the thread

Apologies for the possible repetition, I don't fancy reading all 77 pages

Would like to proof my yard, it's a rental property so I cannot do anything permanent.

Two of the walls are fine, one-and-a-bit of the walls need heightening by around one foot.

Here is the kind of thing I would like to make or buy:

Anybody please advise how most people normally heighten their walls by around one foot?

In a temporary way?

I have not been able to find, as yet, any ready-made brackets that will do the job from hardware stores.

Best wishes

I have a 5 foot fence on one side and 6 foot on the other, on the 5 foot fence the overhanging poles just sit higher in the clamps to level them off with the other side.

I have no idea what your diagram means, are you saying that simply raising the height of the fence will cat proof it? I know that wouldn't work for mine.

And I have no idea what that means anda

Yes, I think raising the height sufficiently would work; it isn't a fence I'm extending, it's a wall. As I said above. More difficult to grip claws into and climb over if I have a combo of wall then an extra foot or so of non-climb material.

 

[jenny armour]

I dont understand either, but Protectapet, you can buy from them for DIY purposes or they will do it for you at an extra cost, they will come out and advise you or you could send in your diagram and they can help you

 

[jenny armour]

....you can also take it with you if you move

This is our catio. It has a tunnel leading from the kitchen window giving them access throughout the day. We also place feather toys giving them the illusion of a hunt which my oldest Harry loves!

Thank you all very much, I got many ideas the last 3 months from this topic.
I've never heard of the word catio before (I was a dog person ).

This is our amateur catio. It took us ~2 weeks of work and 2 weeks of pain (afterwards).
Mistakes were made on the cutting but we 're still proud (apparently I cannot cut straight using a jigsaw even if my life depended on it).

We used pet-safe screen to keep all the bugs out and the cat it.

Again, thank you all !!!
