Well, the in ground fence system that I bought and installed to keep Gracie, our Coyote / Red Border collie mix rescue pet is no longer effective. Gracie figured out that the shock is not so bad and only for a short bit so has been escaping and "hunting" Problem being that Gracie cannot distiguish between acceptable prey and peoples pets.... she carries several pllets and BB's in herhindquarters and I do not blame the bb gun shooters in the least. They were kind and gracious to not kill her - yet.
So..... off to the feed store goes me, seeking, finding and installing an electric cattle fence. THIS one works! Gracie has touched it twice and I don't beleive she will give it another try in our lifetime.
Problem now is, the lady I marred came with CATS, and she LUUUVVVVES those CATS. I tolerate them, sorta like 'em but these things are here babies. She has never had her own child so is VERY atatched to the feline four. I protect them and care for them because I lover her and want her to be happy.
Should be now keep the cats indside? Will that fence wire seriously injure or kill Sherri's 'babies'? When I was a kid I know my dqds cattle fence killed lots of birds. Ours is a small unit for up to 10 acres, we have 1/2 acre. Runs on a 110 outlet.
Need to know, thanks a bunch.

Will that fence wire seriously injure or kill Sherri's 'babies'? Only the 1st time. After they it won't bother them.

Nope it won't kill a cat. Depending on how much grounding you have it might knock the hell out of it but won't kill it. Cats paws (point of contact with the ground) are so much smaller than a dogs there isn't that much surface to carry the charge. Cats paws are also somewhat insulated by fur.

Seriously, though, they do make electric fences to contain cats. However, I have no idea what kind of voltage they put out.

i know that when your gun barrel comes in contact with one from the recoil, it'll leave you sore for a few days.

Just be sure to wet the ground real good before they get into it. It will make for a lively show,but it won't kill them.

I've been crossways with those damn things more than I care to admit.
Coonasses used to WAIT for "damp" ( called deluges elsewhere) weather, and hook those damn thing up to the urinals on that wild row of roadhouses in Port Allen, La..
I think I encountered that in Morgan City, too.
The "Victim" was typically asked to buy a round,....and I don't remember any shortage of young dollies offering to "Kiss it Better"
Jeez,....how did one LIVE through that,....much less prosper ?

Don't know about a cat, but about 15 years ago, we nearly lost our first "kid" a little dog of about 5 pounds to an electric fence. Had a pretty potent "weed burner" model ran up side of the driveway for the cows. Our big dogs kept digging under one side of the pen, so I ran a wire over and down the side... Poor lil' feller out visiting through the wire with the big dogs got into it and got "stuck" to it. My wife happened to hear him yelping and pulled him off of it, got the sh*t knocked out of her doing it. She came into the house carrying him, stiff as a board and smelling like burnt hair - after about five minutes he came around, but then went into shock and ended up at the vets for two weeks.

Glad the little guy made it, makes me think a cat would likely survive the hit from our less potent model. I also do not have a very deep ground rod, only about 30 inches down instead of the 5 feet it recomended. Thought that with only 250 feet of wire out it would suffice.

Mark: I expect that if one of your wife's cats gets fried on the fence, she'll toss you on it.
