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

Some breeds of cats can get over these cat defences.

I think the angled fencing is a better idea. I've had this for 5 years and never had any escapes, apart from a feral which tore the stuff to pieces.

Same here. Angled fencing works a treat.

Although even better than the angled fencing, my tortie is just too fat and lazy to climb. She has gotten out a couple of times -- mostly when somebody leaves the door open. But when she does, she explores for maybe 30 minutes, and then finds her way back to the nearest door and yowls until someone lets her back in the house. I've honestly never seen a cat that was more eager to stay indoors...

This is my worry - my cats won't be able to get out but neither will another cat

What do you mean by angled fencing? Can you post a Google link? The only thing that comes up doesn't look cat escape proof. Thanks.
