cemetary Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 Only if you are putting it near a public footpath. We have one around the garden to stop bullocks getting in. It runs off a couple of batteries and is strong enough to deter the cows, so I'm sure would work for cats. I would say that if there is any young kids playing about, i would be making sure they are displayed, may cost you in the long run with legal fees, be very carefull what you are doing with this,

gorsy bank lofts Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 seriously dont try this(no permanent damage but will gaurentee to make you jump) i did i one night out lamping >
Guest Owen Posted October 10, 2009 Report Posted October 10, 2009 A friend was out lamping and stopped for a pee. He peed on an electric fence. It knocked him out and he had to be rushed to the hospital. I would prefer my electric fencer than any other form of protection for my birds. It never looses concentration. It leaves the sort of memory with the intruder that garantees they will stay away. And it is cheap to run. The owners of the cats and dogs that are causing a nuisance are not even aware of it's existance. What more could I want?
Guest chrisss Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 if you are getting dogs don,t see the point of anything else. i have 2 dogs 3 cats trained not to go for birds.the dogs will savage any other cat they can get to. so keeps mice rats and cats away. prefer to have both, as i cannot cover the 6 foot fence all around the garden,so i have to cover the bits i cannot see with the electric fence,and anything that gets on the ground from the uncovered part of the fences has the dog to contend with ;D ;D ;D ;D,dog wise i am thinking of a terrier of some sort or a lurcher type
Roland Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 Don't need a 'Warning sign unless a memer of the public, nieghbour is able to come into contact with it.... Not many walk on top of the loft lol. But again in haste to get of the roof, the cat gets added tension which can only bode well I guess. Mine - when set up again - It runs off a transformer bought with in the £63 + VAT frame and costs less that £6 a year to run if kept on all day and all night.
Guest chrisss Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 there would be no way i would put a warning sign up, in this case, the fence will be running about 6 inches above the roof of the loft [at the back if you can see what i mean]and its thanks to the owners of this cat [who live on that side]that i have to fork out gods knows how much for a fence in the first place,so if they want to climb onto the back of my shed ,get hit by the fence,roll off into my garden,have my soon to be got hold of dogattack them,then meet me, a 17 stone ex squaddie [i gave up smoking this year i am sure you understand ];D ;D ;D ;Darmed with a baseball bat then frankly good luck to them :P
Guest Owen Posted October 11, 2009 Report Posted October 11, 2009 chrisss your a man of my own heart. I have always thought that if you take the decision to mess me about on my own patch you deserve all you get. And like you, I have plenty to offer the sort of clowns that want to impose themselves on the rest of us. My fondest thought is to walk around the corner and catch one of these animals up to no good. They may have walked in, but I doubt if they will walk out. Regarding the electric fence, I like the fact that I never have to, "Go into bat", these days. The fence is on 100% of the time and I never see a cat or dog. It beats having to stalk about trying to catch other people's out of control creatures on my property. My Son lives in Calafornia. Now that is a system I like. If you are stupid enough to let a cat or smallish dog out on it's own they will likely become a meal for the coyotes. You can grow things in your garden without having to cope with cat mess contaminating everything. If I had my way I would force cat owners to keep their cats off other people's property. Goodness knows how much disease and illness these filthy brutes are speading, not to mention the wildlife they murder daily.
