Can the Houdini-Proof curved extensions contain cats?Updated 5 months ago

It is possible to utilize our systems to contain both cats and dogs. Generally, when customers are interested in this option we do recommend the products from our sister brand, Purrfect Fence. Safely containing cats tends to be a bit more challenging and dynamic compared to dogs and those systems are designed specifically with cats in mind.

However, for some extra strength and durability, you can certainly use a combination of our Dog Proofer and Purrfect Fence products to contain both cats and dogs. For containing cats, we do recommend the spring-loaded extension arm from Purrfect Fence as it will be most effective for keeping the cats contained. If you have reason to believe that your dog(s) may try to test the system after installation, or you need to increase the overall height, it is possible to use a combination of our sturdier Dog Proofer Fence components, like the vertical fence extension, and add the spring-loaded cat arms on top. Example of this below:

If you do not have an existing fence to attach to, it is also possible to use our Freestanding Dog Fence for the base of your fence and add the spring-loaded cat arms on top. In order to most effectively and safely contain cats, the minimum recommended fence height is 6 feet (measured from the tip of the spring-loaded arm down to the ground below).
