Cat Forum / General Topics / September 2007How high can a cat jump?
We are building a fence in our yard to keep our cat inside. We don't want him to jump over it. How high should we make it? He is very strong but also very heavy. Probably higher than you can afford. Cats are very crafty and will probably find a way, of it wants too. Even if front claws are gone, I have seen cats scale high with just the backs. > We are building a fence in our yard to keep our cat inside. We don't > want him to jump over it.

He is very strong >but also very heavy. Build an ordinary fence and be with the cat when he's in the backyard. Train him to stay in the yard. > We are building a fence in our yard to keep our cat inside. We don't > want him to jump over it. How high should we make it?

No way can you cage a cat unless it was a indoor kitten from scratch and even then they would like to escape... So forget it.

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way. I certainly did. I'm just super lucky that we found him before he died. I can assure you that even though Ringo was a total outdoor cat when we got him, but after a BB gun pellet in the eye & leg, you could leave the front door open, go to Spain on holiday & you would still find Ringo curled up on the settee, or looking out the door, but Never leave the house!! It cost him dearly, & made us feel terrible for allowing him to go out on his own. Thats saying something coming from a Brit... Sheelagh >"o"<
