The invisible fence system is designed to work for both dogs or cats. The purpose of the fence is to provide a boundary for pets in general without having to put up an actual eye sore of a fence. The fence is an electric wire that goes underground. The cat then wears a device on his collar that detects when the cat approaches the wire or crosses it. The device sends off a shock or sound to deter the cat from crossing. Just like dogs, however, your cat can push the limits and go through the wire and get out of range. If the battery in the device dies then your cat can also get out. You really need to teach your cat boundaries whether you have the fence or not. Your best veterinarian Roanoke, VA can help you decide if the fence is an option for your cat.
