victorious Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 THE ONLY SURE WAY IS AN ELECTRIC FENCING UNIT THER BOUT 100 QUID BUT WELL WORTH IT, IF GETTING ONE MAKE SURE YOU GET A MAINS POWERED UNIT NOT A BATTERY UNIT AS THEN YOU HAVE THE BOTHER OF KEEPING IT CHARGED, ONE KICK FROM THE FENCER AND MR CAT WONT BE BACK.

Roland Posted March 10, 2012 Report Share Posted March 10, 2012 You know, I can never understand how A. any one can't keep cats of their lofts or in the garden. How the same ole dreary dribble, see countless answers etc. are rehashed. They'll spend rubbish money on 'Maybe's' and 'Ive Heard tells' They spend loads on dosh on pigeons, feeds, remedies etc. But can't see their way clear for an Electric fence! :emoticon-0138-thinking: Gosh the times said on here about a £10 or less Car Battery Charger... Better than a electric fence one bys because it's constant instead of a Loop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
