Cat proofing the garden

I understand why you would like it sorted though as my cat was killed by a fox and found him in next door's garden minus his head (the reason for cat proofing for my remaining cat). So the whole argument that your cat won't go next door because of the dog doesn't hold true in my experience.

I would post up some pictures of the system I bought but I have no idea how to do that.

How horrific for you. I'm so sorry. Do you live in the countryside?

Felisafe reckon the fence only needs to be 5.5 feet. It's higher than that on 2 sides but the other side would need building up with trellis.

Thank you, yes it was such a shock and I was heart broken. Live in a town but at the time next door was having building work and a lot of rubbish and materials in their garden, so a vixen with cubs could have had made a den in there. Mother protecting babies maybe, but the foxes around here are huge and very bold. They will not run away from humans and see them regularly during the daytime.

I kept my other cat indoors for a long time as terrified something would happen to him but that was unfair. Cat proofing has given me piece of mind and he gets to still go outside.
