The function of electric wire fences for cats?
Cat fencesDo you have cats you would like to keep inside your yard, or would you like to keep other people's cats from entering your property? Cat fence is the ideal way to keep cats inside or outside your property or garden. It is very effective (yet animal-friendly) and easy to install. By placing wires with insulators on a fence, for example, cats will receive a shock when they touch the wire. They are startled by this and will stay away from the edge of the fence. An electric fence for cats is harmless.
How does cat fence work?
The cat fence consists of at least 2 fence wires and one ground wire. The wires should not touch each other. You can use fence supports for this. These are easy to attach to a fence or wall.Â
When the cat climbs the fence, the cat makes contact with the ground wire. It then touches the fence wire with its whiskers or head, closing the circuit and giving the cat a shock. This startle reaction will cause the cat to back away and not leave your yard or enter your property unwanted. Experience shows that two wires one above the other and a ground wire on the fence is sufficient to build an effective fence. If you click here you will get more information about the connections.
How many volts are on it?
There is between 6,000 and 8,000 volts on the cat fence. Because the frequency is only 1 Hertz (1 pulse per second) it is only a small shock, which feels like a tingle. This is in contrast to the public power grid (our electrical outlets) which has as much as 50 Hertz. So cat fence is not dangerous to humans and animals.

Frequently asked questions about cat fence
Why can a bird sit on the electric fence without getting a shock?
A bird only touches one wire at a time, so the circle is not complete and no shock is delivered. This allows birds to sit quietly on scare wire.Â
