I have 2 indoor kittens, 7 months old. They go outside in the backyard under supervision only. I have been trying to find something that I could put out that might keep them from leaving the yard, as I am afraid they may escape one day. Anybody aware of anything? Scents, sounds... ?
Answers:
It's a very risky business letting cats out if they aren't supposed to have freedom outside the yard, but a friend of mine who does feral cat rescue uses a kittie fence topper. If you scroll down in this sheet you'll see some instructions for making it: http://www.catchatradio.com/files/patios...
Here's a cat fence topper source: http://www.catfencein.com/
Get a lawn sprayer with full-strngth lemon juice or orange juice in it and spray it around the perimeter of the yard.
Cats hate the smell of citrus, so they won't approach the boundary you've set.
You'll have to respray frequently.
Boundary庐 Indoor/Outdoor Cat Repellent from Lambert Kay.you can spray it on areas out doors where you do not want the kittens to go to.I have also seen gates you put together and it makes a small fanced in play yard for pets.since they are small they might not be able to get out but of course as they get older they might try to jump out of it.so my best idea is go to petsmart.com and check out the stuff called boundary.that might do the trick and good luck.
May I make a suggestion. Keep them inside all the time.
By going outside , there's always the risk of them running away. And there's always fleas.
Everyone in our block had a flea invasion 2 years ago. The exterminator said the cause was groundhogs. They have fleas, they leave their little friends behind, and if another animal walks in the area, bang!
Our cats usually lasted 15 to 17 years.
