Cat Containment System
Outdoor
Cat Training if using a tie out:
If your cat will not walk on a lead (and
most will not), you will need to train your cat
using a tie out. Obtain a 10’ to 15’
puppy yard tie out. These are available here:

Insert the yard anchor in the
ground so the end of the tie out reaches a foot
or two inside the flag line.
Attach your cat’s harness
or collar to the tie out.
To ensure your cat’s comfort
and well being, be sure there’s shade in
the radius of the tie out, as well as easy access
to fresh water.
Leave your cat in that area for
4 to 6 hours, and then move the tie out to a different
area. Continue this for three days.
During this training period, your
cat will learn to recognize the warning tone and
to avoid the warning or correction areas.
If
your cat will walk on a lead:
(This works best if there is someone
to assist you with the first training session)
Choose a small area for your first
training session. Place the flags very close together
– approximately 18 to 24 inches apart. Change
the walk areas with each training session.
Have your helper bring your cat
very slowly into the warning area. When you hear
the receiver collar begin to beep, shake the top
of the flag from side to side. This will startle
your cat. Do this several times the first day.
During the next day’s training,
do not touch the flags. After you have placed
the lead on your cat, take him into the warning
area. If he does not back out of the warning area
within a few seconds, he will receive a mild static
correction.
If your cat attempts to leave
the warning area, make sure he does not get past
the flags. Never let the cat past the flags until
the training is complete, with or without the
receiver collar. Your goal is to have your cat
trained within one week to turn towards home every
time he hears the warning. If your cat thinks
he can pass the flag area, the training will take
much longer.
Leave the flags in place for three
weeks after the cat is trained. Then remove every
other flag every other day until they are all
gone.
When the training period is complete,
store the flags. You never know when you will
be training your next pet!
Remember to check the PetSafe
cat receiver collar regularly, adjusting it if
needed so that both contact points make good contact
with your cat’s neck. Both contact points
must be in contact with the neck, or your cat
will not receive any static correction.

The
PetSafe Cat Containment System PIG00-11007 is the most
versatile cat containment system available anywhere
today. It is very easy to use and install. It works
great in the smallest yard, and up to 20 acres. You
can lay the boundary wire above ground in wooded areas,
or attach it to an existing fence. You can use a lawn
edger to cut a grove in your yard and place the cat
containment wire below ground. 
You
have complete control of the cat containment system’s
warning and correction area (from 2' to 18' wide) with
a simple turn knob located on the PetSafe cat containment
transmitter. We can keep cats home, and keep cats out
of any outdoor landscaped areas. The PetSafe Cat Containment
System Kit includes everything you will need to install
your PetSafe cat containment system and contain your
cat.
