For the record, I allow my cats outside but have a backyard that's
fenced "cat-proof" which they can't leave.

How do you make a fence cat-proof?

With great difficulty. G 8 feet tall, dense foliage on it to make it
difficulty to climb, areas without foliage either have electric fence wires
on it or overhanging, inward facing netting at top, trees near fence have a
ring of flashing around the trunk to prevent climbing.

Many of our ideas came from scaling down big cat enclosures at zoos. Of
course it took some trial and error at first but I haven't had an escape
in... well, why jinx myself? G
