Cat Fences

A ‘Cat Fence’ is the same DogWatch Hidden Fence that is used for dogs. We just call it a Cat Fence when we are using it for cats! Actually, the Hidden Fence can be used for both cats and dogs at the same time! The Hidden Fence uses an electronic FM radio signal to keep your pet in a designated containment area, such as a yard or specific areas in your house; or away from an area, such as the kitchen counters, the couch or favorite ‘scratching post’ chair, the swimming pool or garden. You can use the same collar with our indoor Cat Boundary and our outdoor Hidden Fence.

How does the Cat Fence work?

Yes. We have successfully trained many cats to use indoor and outdoor hidden fences. Because cats can climb trees (etc.), your DogWatch Dealer will work with you to establish an appropriate plan for your outdoor fence. The fence configuration may need to be a little different than a fence that is only for dogs. Training a cat to use the fence is also a little different than training a dog to use the fence. Contact us for more information.

Instructions for training your cat to the Indoor Boundary are available here. If your local DogWatch Dealer is installing your Cat Fence or Indoor Boundary, training assistance is usually included. Cats learn the containment area through visual cues (flags) and audible warning signals from the receiver collar. For outdoor cats, training is generally done indoors before introducing the cat to the outdoor system.

Yes. There is no limit to the number of cats or dogs (or both!) our hidden pet fencing can protect at one time.
