is it possible to train a cat to stay within the compound of my house?

spacemanspiff asked:


Hello, I am considering on whether to get a Siamese cat. However, I've had past experiences where I allowed my cats to roam around the garden and out of my compound but after a few years they would either get knocked down by vehicles OR not return home after heavy rain. I was wondering, is it possible to train a siamese cat to roam around my garden and not leave the compound of my house? In a nice sort of way and not violent or anything. Thanks in advance.
well i personally feel that cats shouldn't be kept indoors all the time. i mean they are animals and they deserve a sense of freedom.
oh and i was wondering, are male cats more teritorial than female cats?

Easy Guide To Cat Training Aids

Get an invisible fence, or better yet, keep the cat indoors. Pets live longer if they are kept inside.

Quick and Easy Guide To Train Cats

Cats can’t be trained, unlike dogs.
I would not let my cat outdoors. I just can’t risk to lose him.

Cats are notoriously difficult to contain – it’s a product of their evolutionary history as stalking predators. It might be possible if you’re willing to invest in one of those invisible fences. They work by giving the animal a mild shock if it attempts to roam beyond the limits of the invisible fence.

Quick and Easy Guide To Train Cats

I don’t think they can be trained in that regard – it’s just not in their nature. I feel blessed with my cat, tho – she doesn’t get to go out all that often, and only with me, but basically, she is a “fraidy cat” and NEVER leaves her own yard. She either lounges on the walk in the sun or follows me around, much like a dog would do.
This is just the way she is – not the way she was trained.

Insider Tips for Cat Training in 10 minutes an easy to follow guide to perform simple tricks

Not really.

You could try a leash or as people have suggested, invisible fence ™ to keep him or her from roaming out of bounds.

In general, you’re really best off keeping your cat indoors. If you let your cat out, he or she will come to expect it and want to get out which will simply cause you grief and problems.

But alternately, you could also take the cat outside on a leash for walks or when you’re outside as well and then bring the cat back indoors when you go in.

If you build a routine out of it and give the cat treats and praise when you come back inside the house, you can probably get the cat to enjoy these moments when he gets to go outside but also when he gets to come back inside.

Nope, it just aint happening!. You can not keep a cat confined to an outside area. Now, if your cat is spayed or neutered and up to date on all shots, it is possible to keep your cat in your neighborhood. That’s about all you can hope for. Well, except for hoping that it won’t get hit by a car, attacked by a larger cat or dog or killed by a cat hating person. Bottom line, if you really want a cat, and if you love your cat, keep it inside!

Hi, i don’t think so luvy! I have 2 Siamese and no they dont stay in our yard, they do tend to wander!! Especially the male. I keep them indoors sinse my male was ‘gone’ for 1 week and turned up desexed…i kid you not! Siamese love walks, so you could get a lesh and train him/her to go for walks with you and keep it indoors the rest of the time. The Siamese is a GREAT pet and you will be a very loved person…my cat follows me everywhere, helps hang the washing, watches TV etc. Get a cat but walk it you self!

No its impossible. Invisible fences do not work for cats and are not recomended for cats!. The best thing would be to enclose a area in your yard this fence system works wonderfull read about it here I bought 4 of them and my cats never have been able to get out of this enclosure..

I have a 12 year old Siamese and she is trained to stay in the yard. When she was young I worked with her and taught her the boundaries. Have never had any problem with her going beyond them and she returns to the house when called.

It’s not likely that you will be able to train your cat to stay in the yard. If you leash or harness train it you have a much better chance of being able to contain it.

Another suggestion is to get a cat pen like the ones they show in the Dr. Foster’s catalog. It is a mesh runner with holes made into the bottom so the cat can get to the grass.

I think female cats are more territorial than males. Females stay pretty close to home, while male roam.

9 times out of 10 when your cat gets beat up while it’s been outside it is a female that did the beating.
