I took in a stray cat and am keeping him as an indoor/outdoor, but I don't want him going onto the neighbor's property. Could I train him using an invisible fence like dog owners do? Anybody have experience with this?
>>4798453Cats don't learn in the same way dogs do. It would just run around like a fucking moron until it stopped and wouldn't have the ability to tie causation and causality.
>>4798453even dogs try the “run until it stops” method. a cat would either collapse and never go outside again or do that.
>>4798453The hell is that? We have mind control tech for dogs now? Why didn’t I know this? What is the efficacy for people?
>>4798575Some people like to electrocute their family members into compliance.
>>4798575an invisible fence. It's either based on radius from a central source like the OP pic or it's like underground sensors or something. But basically the dog wears an electric shock collar and if he crosses the invisible line, he gets shocked. Usually you put flags or something like pic-rel so the dog knows where it is. Eventually he learns not to cross that barrier (supposedly, idk how well it works)
>>4798453Do you not have a fenced yard? Just fence in your yard and then catproof the fence. It's literally that easy.
>not just mining the edges of the property with bounding anti-personnel mines with the fuzes adjusted for dogsngmi
>>4798715Why wouldn't you just build a fence? Surely it takes less time and effort than this, and has added benefit of not torturing your fucking dog
>>4798732I think these things are meant to be a very temporary solution, like if you're going camping for example or something.
>>4798716how do I catproof the fence? It is a chain link fence that's like 3 feet tall.
>>4798752It needs to be taller, first of all, 5 and a half foot or more, and then stick some of this onto it. If you cant do that because of some stupid ass rules then get a catio or harness train your cat. Free-roaming is never, ever an option.
>>4798453It might work if someone made one with a gradient on whatever the punishment is where it gets worse the farther away it gets. So it's not so immediate and causes panic and let's them learn the boundaries less harshly. But all the same cats shouldn't be outdoors at all.
>>4798764>cats shouldn't be outdoors at allThis man understands nothing about cats
>>4799000are you saying the main purpose of cats is to destroy local small fauna?
>>4799000Cats are half as intelligent as a chihuahuaThey literally dont understand that outside is different from inside. It’s all just “territory”. Dont let it be their territory and they have no need to be there.
>>4798732Same reason city walls went out of style and chain link fences went in. Openess is chic, apparently
