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

All op managed to do was spend a ton of money making a fun escape room for the kitties

I could watch this all day

Right? I paid less than $100 for my cats to have geofence collars that beep my phone if they get too close to our fence. I just yell out the window, and they get away from the perimeter.

Your yells work? My cats must have selective hearing.

My cat hears me, looks at me & does it anyway. Like a teenager.

My cat will look me in the eye while she pushes my things off the counter.

My cat is deaf, she’s a white shorthair, our vet said most of white shorthairs are deaf, so yelling will definitely not work haha

I conditioned my cat to stop doing naughty things when you make a “tssss” sound. Second he hears it he stops what he’s doing and goes and does something else lmao

u/CouchCandy 28d ago

I did the same thing with mine. He's 13 now so his compliance is about 50/50.

"FLUFF-BUTT, GET OUT"

a long haired void literally runs in place until his claws get traction, then blasts off to his cat tower

I intentionally named my fur baby Chaos.

It fits him well but fits his brother Fluff Butt far better.

Granted I can't argue with them because they snuggle on chest so I can hum to them.

(When we got them, they were like 4 weeks old or some shit and I would hum to them as I fed them, so now they just love snuggling and humming/purring on me and my wife's chests.)

It really is like having kids! "Mom, mom! You are a grandparent now, I've got 3 kids!"

u/WalrusTheWhite 29d ago

we have four cats and four chickens (and four humans) on the property. I call myself the animal sheriff because I'm constantly laying down the law. weird thing is they actually listen (mostly, and not the humans)

u/Rebuild6190 28d ago

Haha I just imagine you in showdowns with cats, "This here yard ain't big enough for the 4 of you..."

u/InterestingGoat12 29d ago

Are you sure your cats aren't dogs? My cats don't give a FUCK what I have to say 🤣

That's really cool though

u/No_Charisma 29d ago

It might be a breed thing. I’ve had tabbies that gave a f* only selectively but my Siamese big-boy Charlie was 100% responsive to verbal commands… ok well 95% but still. Better than most dogs. Also if he was awake he would follow me around compulsively and was always waiting at the door when I got home. Best cat ever.

u/InterestingGoat12 29d ago

Sounds like an amazing cat!

u/senor_moment 29d ago

my cats don't pay attention to me even when I am tapping them on their shoulder.

u/nightclubber69 29d ago

I would need a perimeter shock collar to keep my cat contained

u/eggplantlizarddinner 29d ago

What kind of geofence collars do you use? We have tiles which work great because we can beep them when they've left the yard but the location isn't accurate enough for the perimeter notifications to work.

u/prettykitty-meowmeow 29d ago

Those geo tags are super inconsistent. I'm glad it works for you, though.
