Our Cat Fence 

This is amazing! Especially if your house is next to a highway for example. They can still enjoy garden time freely. So cool. I still remember you saying in a video you weren't really a cat person before those kitties came into your life.. and look at you know. Going the extra mile. Your cats are one of the luckiest on the planet. Bless

I had a similar set up with commercial cat netting. My cat worked out how carry himself along the underside. I extended it out further and tried chicken wire, fence netting, fruit tree netting etc etc but it didn't deter him. I ended up putting 100mm pvc pipe along the fence line. So far so good.

Well done. I urge people to cat proof yards all the time and do it myself for my 5 cats in the UK. Your video was very explanatory. 🐱🐱

Such a fantastic solution. I've been thinking about building a catio. Then I was looking at cat fencing systems - holy moly what a price. And it's almost identical to what you've done. I love it. Now to get some decking. Thank you.

Good to see Skid doing well. Wish you posted more often ;)

I was actually thinking of Skids the other day wondering how he and Danni were doing. Glad to see how well engineered your barrier system is. You both are good parents. Thanks for making this video. It was great to see Skids scooting along so fast at the end. Take care.

Great job I'm wanting to do this we have 5 cats but only 2 get out the other 3 are old and don't want or can't climb up the fence. Now for the other 2 one(Wehlan) is 11 months old and he goes over the fence there is a big field with 4 horses but they are fenced away from our part of the field so he goes down a couple houses and watches the neighbore 2 hens and he cuts thru their yard and comes back home. Now that leaves our 9 months old kitty (Marty) he has just realized he can jump and climb over the fence and into the field but he likes to go out into the middle of the field and then over to their Barn which has a couple older barn cats that are very protective of their home and he doesn't come back till we go get him or the neighbor shoos him back. So we are going to build the cat barrier hopefully this weekend so we won't worry about him.

I'm using angle iron brackets. Much stronger then wood. But I have angle grinder and mig welder and bench drill press and other tools which are needed to work on metal

This is True love! Lucky cats!

Awesome! and the babies look Great!!!! Bless!

This is amazing. So glad Skids and Dany have you guys to care for them.

You are a great person. Hope you and your cats and loved ones are safe and doing well during these trying times.

Damn these cats are lucky and are taken care of well.

The solution that brings together the indoor cat and the outdoor cat people :D

This is fantastic! Well-thought through and constructed. When I move, I hope to have a yard that I can do this so that all my furbabies can go outside in safety and I won't have to worry about them running away if they get scared! Your kitties are so very lucky! Skids was put in your path for a reason. Both of you got lucky!

Thanks for caring enough to do this for your cats ima do something similar for mine when we buy a house

thanks for making this video

This is really cool! Thanks for sharing! :D

Is there an update in this? Did it work? Did it keep animals out? Any issues with animals getting stuck in netting such as birds or squirelles?

Love you skids

Thats awesome

Excellent bit of Building. (Videography not all that Bad, either. That little bit showing Skidmark being "Catishly Nonchalant" about his three-legged Life was Pretty Good -- reminded me of an olde animate flick, called "The Last Unicorn." {"No cat out of his first fur can ever be fooled, by a-pearances.})

What very lucky cats. Great parents!!!

Dope! Hope you and the cats are doing well :), greetings from The Netherlands

This video warmed my heart. I love it. I have a neighbor who has been baiting and trapping my indoor outdoor cats so far he has trapped three of my neighbors cats he’s either killing them or dumping them and AnimAl Control won’t help me in fact animal control told him that he can trap cats if they wander on his property he’s an evil vicious man and he won’t stop no matter what. We have been keeping our cats in our house and my hearts broken as there’s nothing I can do.

E511 Hello there, I'm new to your channel, so NICE to meet you. 🤗 By the way, great job rescuing that cat. I know this was old, it's because I watched it on my phone in Inside Edition.

Omg I watched the videos of skids when he was a just a little kitten and oml he was to die for!!!! Still is 😉

My cat is easily contained, but the stray, aggressive cat would leap over that from the fence top. She often gets in via the roof.

I know a lot of outdoor cats that can easily jump that or just use the wooded post and jump down but I like the idea I just wouldn’t leave my indoor cats out by themselves

Please update how it’s working now! Thanks!!

Nice work

Intention is very good. I highly doubt it will stop cats though !!! You nead, at least, another part coming down from the brackets ...

There's no arguing with success. If your cats can't escape, you have solved your problem. However, I'd be concerned about going through all the effort only to encounter one of the following: 1. Gymnastic cat climbs the mesh from the underside to the point where it can flip to the other side and escape. 2. There's nothing preventing other cats and coyotes entering from the outside. Seems to me the best approach is a symmetric one in which animals on either side can't get to the other side. And that would be a roller system.

Did your cats ever escape out over the fence? Looking to do this with mine

Perfect !

Good idea!

How are Skids and Danys doing? We need another cat video!

I'm currently building a fence around my patio with a doggie door so they can sit out there whenever they want. But this seems so much better :O I may consider reinforcing my backyard fence to do this.. but what if a neighbors cat ends up in the backyard, do you just chuck it back over the fence or what lmao :P

I tried something like this but my cat climbs upside down then over. Have you noticed this is an issue! Im thinking of doing something like this but with aluminum instead of netting so our cat can't climb it.

In places where they have lots of snow and frost, it could be a problem.

Where is the netting found? Sorry if I missed it.

Did this continue to work or did kitties find a way out?

It seems like they could get out through that gap at the gate where the bracket is at an angle. Have they gotten out there?

I wonder if the netting placement was reversed - pointing out - if this would protect property from a coyote?

I love your idea, yet, our neighbor lost their cat to an eagle. I keep my cats in an enclosure. Hawks do not need to enter. Or, eagles ;). I use an indoor cat cage and they can enter thru my window. I also lost a puppy two years ago to a raccoon attacking her. They still come in your yard. Miss Jones Bay City MI

Hi there! What kind of netting did you use?

Do you think that nylon mesh can work? or it has to be plastic? I'm not sure if they could be able to climb upside down and get over it.

Does this keep the neighbors cats out or only discourage them. Could an aggressive cat get in? I guess you could always put spikes on the brackets. (I have had problems with an agressive neighborhood cat and I don't want to deal with that again.)

Does this still work to keep cats in? I’m using your model and wonder if there was any other adjustments needed after?

How is Skids doing now? I hope he’s ok

How is skiddie doing? :3

Now you're yard looks like a prison.

dangerous, cats can break their legs and get their claws wedged inside the netting ! bad idea !

It’s nice but it looks like a concentration camp during ww2.

looks like a prison ill prat for you cats

Rollers are more effective and look less like total ass.
