Cat Fence – DIY Self Install

CatWatch ® DIY Cat Fence is NOW AVAILABLE!

The CatWatch Hidden Fence cat fence system is a “first available” product in the Australian market. The solution to keeping your cat from escaping or wandering is here!

The CatWatch cat fence system works in a similar way to the DogWatch Hidden Fence dog fence, except specifically designed for cats! Cats can move about a property in a similar way to a dog, except a cat has the physical characteristics to negotiate existing barriers, more so that a dog could.

Our cat training and conditioning protocol is state-of-the-art and was created back in 2003 by Hidden Fence. The cat training and conditioning protocol has been used throughout Australia, UK and USA, and is the recognised and recommended training protocol used in the Victoria Code of Practice for the use of electronic fence collars for cats. Our protocol is the safest and most effective of any cat boundary training technique. When using the CatWatch Hidden Fence electronics, the cat training protocol has a 99% success rate in containing your cat.

5 STARS!!!

Good afternoon,
We purchased a “hidden fence” cat fence for Ziggy, our Siberian Forest Cat.
I installed the system as per instructions, set the flags, and tested the system by keeping the collar close to the ground, near the wire to work out where to put the flags.
We then indoor trained Ziggy for a few days, and let him out on day 4.
We fully supervised him for the first few days, and he got the hang of the system very quickly.
When the “beeper” goes off , he knows he is getting too close to the flags, and if he gets a “zap” (setting is “2”) he turns around and runs away from the flags.
Our cat weighs currently 6kg (he is a “large breed” cat), and still growing after 12 months.
The collar does not annoy him, we take it off when he comes into the house for the evening, and we only put it on when he goes outside. He has it worked out, that when the collar goes on, he can go outside.
I also every now and then wave a spare flag in front of him when he gets close to the Line of flags, to give him a reminder.
He loves being out in the garden, and now knows his “boundaries”.
It is critical to place the flags so he had reference points.
We have the flags 50 to 75 cm apart.
We are very impressed with the “Hidden Fence” system, and can highly recommend it, as long as you put in the initial effort required to train your cat.
Thanks and regards,
Joe D

How does it contain your cat?

A special wire cable is run around your property boundary, on a fence line, or at ground level. A Patented FM Digital Transmitter sends a coded radio signal through this cable. Your cat wears a lightweight, waterproof receiver on a stretch collar that detects this harmless signal.

When your cat gets close to the proximity of the cable, an audible warning tone from his collar alerts him that he’s “too close, back up”.

If the warning tone is ignored, rare after training, the collar emits a non-injurious, customised electrical stimulation. With our proper cat training protocol, your cat will be well aware of the expectation
