Thread: Electronic collars and Maine Coons

The scatmat sounds interesting, the pads of their feet will be much less sensitive to pain than their necks!

The catios are very cute too! Although not very well suited to where I live. I live in a converted 17th century school and my neighbours would have a blue fit if I attached cages and doors to the windows. Also it wouldn't be suited to our weather!

Like I said, keeping all doors and windows closed isn't an option. Our son goes in and out as he pleases and would often leave the door open to bring stuff out or as part of his play. It wouldn't be very responsible, I don't think, to rely on just not letting the cat out without some deterrent or conditioning for the cat's own safety. I don't feel comfortable taking that risk.

A friend mentioned something about a collar that gives a strong vibration to the cats throat instead of a shock, as an alternative to the electronic collar. Although I can't find anything that doesn't involve someone coming to install barriers. And it mostly seems American!
Oh what a long search! Lol
