About 6 or 7 foot high at the back of our garden. Minnie the Tripod had to be "rescued" after hopping up and down it a few times. Anybody got any ideas for a staircase??

Perhaps it is to keep your cat out of their garden?

Pictures?

They are "cat Friendly" and alternative avenues are available to the Cat Nip in their garden. Bit dark last night, (She is jet black), so I will have to catch her tonight if she does it.

Well this morning woken by cat fight at 6.15am. Minnie isn't in so venture outside where It appears Minnie is "sorting out" a Fluffy black cat. Called her in and she's over the fence like it isn't there. Problem solved. Minnie hopping around like a new cat.

i doubt an extra foot on the fence would make a difference either way to the cat, is it really worth potentially causing a complete breakdown in relations with a neighbour over? Personally, I would say its absolutely not.

I put a cat flap discretely in the corner of the garden behind the shed, my neighbours did the same. I have seen both our cats clear the 6ft fence when on a mission playing chase with their cats. The cat flap is for when they are feeling lazy

The limit was increased from 6' to 2 metres (6'6") many years ago.
