Our older cat stopped climbing fences about a year ago but if he was chased over that way he could get really hurt not being as agile as he used to be. We recently got his diabetes into remission with insulin and obviously want to protect him and keep him as well as possible. We brought him with us to the UK from NZ when he was about 2.5. Cat's are as much a part of our family as our human children.
