will they clear the fence...............i will be letting the 2 horrors out in the garden soon, we have slatted fences with gaps in, im wondering as they can see through it will they attempt to climb it? we are only letting them out when we are out there so we can keep an eye on them. just worried they will hear a bird and be off  not had experience in letting house cats out, boy put his foot out the door a while ago while the ground was cold, he didnt like it, he made a weird noise ran back inside  they do not accept the lead, we tried, we failed wont be able to 'cat proof' the garden until we have more time as it will be a big job, plus i dont want a garden full of cats when we get home from work lol so any advice welcome

Fabes scaled the fence when I was 'supervising' him before I catproofed the garden. I had to run like crazy round to my neighbours back garden and luckily he was just nosing around so managed to grab him. Sorry - I don't understand your comment re loads of cats in garden? My garden is cat proofed and no cats can get in. |

How high is the fence? My Aby who was leash-trained, easily climbed my 6 foot stockade fence more than once when we were just sitting in the garden. He eventually learned that if he went out of the garden, he had to go in the house, so stopped doing it......I too don't get the "garden full of cats" bit...... |

surely if they cant get out then when other peoples cats jump 'in' then they will be stuck till i get home and open the gate? |

there is no way i can make my garden 'catproof' we just want to make it very difficult as we will be out there with them all the time. the fence is a 6ft high one, but gaps in between each panel. |

Cats climb. I am sure that they will try and climb it even my daft Persians would have a go. Also you say there is gaps between the panels they maybe able to get through those as well. |

If you have no catproofing up then there is a danger that the fences will be scaled. |

you know not sure about cat proofing anything, not sure you can do that  my cats always went outside with us, they walked around the yard with us never took off to go anywhere and we don't have a fence, we have woods behind our house but they seem content to just walk along side of us, and roll when they find some sand or sunshine. |
