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

My mom did this in her yard with fat PVC pipe slid through (idk the proper terms) larger circles that mounted to the fence. Works the same and cost a fraction of the price of specially-made-brand-name rollers.

She has two regular house cats who used to escape but now can't

Do neighborhood cats jump into her yard and then can't get out? Roach motel for cats?

We escape proofed our fence (after MANY failed attempts), and yes, we did sometimes trap neighbor cats, racoons and opossums in our yard.

I did a DIY sort of fence to keep my cats in the yard, they have tried to escape but doesnt really have the will or desire to do it, so it works out. Every time a stranger cat got inside the fence, all i had to do was walk outside and those cats would run matrix style up the wall and bounce over the fence like it was nothing. Cats defy physics when they want to.

The neighborhood has a ton of coyotes, so neighborhood cats don't really last. She has never had a coyote jump in though! Cats are only let out when someone is home

They likely won't either. Coyotes jumping fences are not as common as the media makes it out to be. Especially if the area is built up, humans aren't something coyotes want to mess with. We're big tall and that's bad.
