The Oscillot cat containment system is a unique, attractive non-electric DIY fence attachment that safely keeps cats in their yards.
Inexpensive and available in 16 ColorbondTM colours can be mounted on any fence, wall or gate.

Benny looks incredibly dissapointed at no longer being able to scale the fence and roam the neighbourhood. After several attempts at beating the Oscillot™paddles he is now resigned to the fact that he can still roam his own sizable yard in complete safety.

Benny (left) was just 2 years old when he was hit by a car in the street during one of his routine wanderings through his suburb. Fortunately for Benny, a 'Good Samaritan' took him to a nearby vet, who performed a complex operation on Benny's crushed hips. She performed excision arthroplasty where the head of the femure bone as well as the ball and socket joint of the femur are removed after which some muscles are transplanted in the joint to act as a cushion. Effectively Benny now has no hips. Now 5 years old , Benny uses those muscles in his hind legs and gets around much the same way as any cat with skeletal support in its limbs. He has developed superb upper body strength which has enhanced his grabbing and climbing ability.

Whitie (top right) lazes around indoors for most of the day before heading into the trees at night. Whitie has honed his climbing skills by his association with his possum mates. He won't harm the possums but he dines nightly on native birds and eggs taken from nests. Whitie (middle right) has no trouble clearing the standard 1.8 metre colorbond™ fence of our trailer.

Frishka (bottom right) was found in a dumpster bin as a kitten, taken to a local vet and after spending some weeks confined to a small holding pen, was rehomed. She has gone to amazing efforts to escape her yard to roam nearby bushland where she preys on nativeanimal, birds and frogs. She is seen in this photograph unsuccessfully attempting to escape over the predecessor of Oscillot the CatProwlProofer, which featured on the ABC New Inventors program in June 2007.

Oscar (left) is a strong cat accustomed to some rough handling from young children with whom he shares his home. He has no trouble scaling fences at 1.8 metres and even when we increased the height at his favourite escape point, then Oscar (bottom left) easily scrambled up and pulled himself over the section of fencing extended to 2.4 metre high.

DISCLAIMER: No animals were harmed in the trialling of the development of the Oscillot™ Cat Containment System.The floor of the trailer used was covered in a soft 15mm thick rug to cushion a cat's descent back into the trailer and landing platforms 30mm from the top of the fence and 30mm wide around the outside perimeter to facilitate a short descent if a cat was successful in scaling a test fence setup. The cats used as the "control cats" were owned cats and trialled the containment system with permission of and in the prescence of their owners.
