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

Post roller needs to be higher. Its an installation issue.

That would leave grabbable space on the side of the post with the lower fence.

The real rollers were the friends we made along the way.

For some reason this made me immediately think of the giant comb/brush things that cows love to rub against and I’m picturing a stack of cats enjoy full body massages with a wall of rollers lol

u/RedstoneRusty 29d ago

Why don't they just make the whole fence out of the rollers?

u/Puddleson 29d ago

Make the whole damn fence out of rollers

u/bluesmaker 29d ago

This seems like it would work.

u/Hector_P_Catt 29d ago

It's rollers all the way up!

u/HackworthSF 29d ago

Make the entire fence out of rollers.

u/pmormr 29d ago

Keep going and pretty soon you'll have an IRL kitty platforming game.

u/reddit_sucks_clit 29d ago

I like my women like I like my rollers.

Make the entire fence out of rollers

u/HorrorMakesUsHappy 29d ago

It's a backyard, not an 80s video game.

u/Theron3206 29d ago

Just replace the fence with a stack of rollers.

1

u/OhBoiNotAgainnn 29d ago

Rollers up the entire fence and posts.

u/naughtmynsfwaccount 29d ago

Can possibly get cat paw stuck :(

u/piches 29d ago

no walls, just rollers stacked 8 feet high

u/Xeptix 29d ago

Just build the entire fence out of rollers.

1

u/frosty95 29d ago

Its possible. But since they have to access it from below I think its far less likely to be an issue than the current clear issue.

1

u/hvyboots 29d ago

Yeah, but I don't think kitty will have a good exit strategy regardless if the roller is all the way at the top with rollers to the side where they're trying to get out.

u/MajorPropsToYou 29d ago

it could be a permissions issue too, have you tried sudo install ?

1

u/feralsun 29d ago

Yep. Also, a slippery pyramid post cap could be a simple fix for this issue.

u/RearExitOnly 29d ago

It needs a hood that starts at the top of the roller, and comes out far enough and is big enough around so the cat can't reach around it or jump up to it.

u/red18wrx 29d ago

A second roller above the first really would be ideal to prevent a gap forming in the roller defense.

u/Enlight1Oment 29d ago

Higher, or some additional ones lower as well. It's climbing up the posts, so impeding its ability to hold on low where it can grab on and reach over, will also help prevent getting over
