[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3124579, member: 24583"] A lot of years ago when I lived in the city I grew up in (Tulsa) I had a little flower bed between the sidewalk and the porch that developed a bad smell. I used a florescent light fixture ballast (transformer) and ran a little wire around the edges up about 8 inches on some plastic sticks. Damn those cats can wake you up in the middle of the night with their screeching. I guess they did not like that particular voltage. Choices have to be made. Me or them? Moved out here to the country several years ago talking with my neighbor. He really cares about his cows, wants to keep them healthy and safe. My neighbor uses an electric fence charger around his perimeter when he gets some new ones. His cows stay in their area very well, healthy, doing well. It seems they have decided it is not a good thing to push his fences over and get out into the road. Tough love works. Either way, keeping in or out. Animals are just like my dogs. ya have to train them of what you want them to do, and they remember to do it, just looking for guidance. You do have to get their attention before that can happen. I saw one of my dogs chasing a deer out of my yard a while back, later saw skid marks where the deer jumped over the barbed wire fence. He knows he is not allowed to cross the fence line, (one side has a road.) Very good loyal loving dog I spoil rotten. I did some tough love with him that hurt me back when he was little, but got to keep him safe letting him run free with that road just outside the barbed wire fence where he knows he is not "allowed" to go. Yes animals have feelings, but your problem is of them not understanding of this is not the place to pee and crap has to be adjusted. Like a small child, they have to be trained. Tough Love works, so does 550VAC of those who are not paying attention. [/QUOTE]
