To be honest, I would buy the things I want seperately. Then you will have exactly what you need. And I would prefer a mains fencer than a battery one, if it is practical. Then you will not run the risk of forgetting to change or recharge the batteries.

The best way to stop the cats climbing onto the roof is to use "L" shaped wooden brackets screwed to the loft sides near the top and fit screw on insulators to them. The brackets need to be about 12" out from the loft so that the cats will have to contact them. If you are concerned, you can fit 4 insulators to each bracket, making a cat proof barrier. You can even make your brackets longer if you want to.

But, the best cat proofer is when you have the fencer fitted up all around your loft area. It will take less than one day to teach the cats that they can not cross. Problem solved.

Good advice mate but a greyhound or two plus a Jack Russel make sure we get no cats  ;D ;D

dont be missled i have 2 terriers one of which just loves to see to cats to the poit i cant sat cat i have to spell it out in the house or she will go through the double glazeing but they cant be around 24/7 and mister cat knows that i used to think that but now know different the cats will terriorise the birds at night  to the point where the birds dont rest and when a pigeon is not resting it doesnt digest its food the fence doesnt go to sleep it just continues to make the cats jump ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
