Is the PetSafe Underground Electronic Cat Fence effective?
I have a fenced yard but my cat can easily scale the fence and get out to the road. I know that most dogs train well with electric fences, but I'm skeptical about how effective it is with cats. Has anyone used this product or a similar product and tried to train their cat(s)?
I want to reiterate that this isn't an Electric Fence marketed for dogs. It is made specifically for cats or I wouldn't even consider it.
I wouldn't recommend using an electric fence for cats as it could be dangerous to them.
Provided that it's at least 6ft high, you could cat-proof your existing fence. Around that you put an overhang (1" chicken wire is good) which needs to extend by a minimum of 18". Through the edge of the chicken wire, you thread fine galvanised wire so the edge is taught, but the chicken wire itself is slack. If the cat runs up the fence and grabs onto the wire, it 'gives' a bit and the cat feels insecure and lets go.
These links have information and advice on fencing in the garden so that your cat cannot escape.

If your budget allows, there are ready made cat-proof fences which you can install.
