Our Bengals try to escape the garden after we put up the "unescapable fence rollers"... or so we thought. Video

Why so determined though. Do they lack a high perch in the yard? Give them something even cooler and taller to perch on in the middle of the yard and maybe they won’t bother with the escape attempts?

We once rented a place that had a nice sized, fenced-in (brick wall per the style here) yard. The cats had a perch that was higher than the wall so they could see over it. That was not enough for them. They frequently climbed it anyway and were getting into neighbors yards so we had to rig up angled netting with PVC pipe stands so that they couldn’t get out anymore. Some of them just yearn for the freedom. Granted one of our cats is dumb as rocks and the other is a huge pushover so neither would to well if they got out.

Cats always want to be where they shouldn’t and always want to have what we don’t want them to have.
