Thread: is it possible to train a cat to stay within the compound of my house?

No its impossible. Invisible fences do not work for cats and are not recomended for cats!. The best thing would be to enclose a area in your yard this fence system works wonderfull read about it here I bought 4 of them and my cats never have been able to get out of this enclosure..

I have a 12 year old Siamese and she is trained to stay in the yard. When she was young I worked with her and taught her the boundaries. Have never had any problem with her going beyond them and she returns to the house when called.

It's not likely that you will be able to train your cat to stay in the yard. If you leash or harness train it you have a much better chance of being able to contain it.

Another suggestion is to get a cat pen like the ones they show in the Dr. Foster's catalog. It is a mesh runner with holes made into the bottom so the cat can get to the grass.

I think female cats are more territorial than males. Females stay pretty close to home, while male roam.

9 times out of 10 when your cat gets beat up while it's been outside it is a female that did the beating.

impossible to train a cat, not in their nature, they just wander away, keep it indoors!
