What is “Secure” fencing for a Singer?
Because they are adapted to living in high mountains and dense forests, Singers are, like cats, by nature jumpers and climbers. Unlike cats they also are terrific diggers and chewers and will work very hard at escaping fences. Fences lower than 6 feet have kept supervised Singers confined for daily exercise, but only if an electric wire is installed at the top. If Singers are to be left unsupervised, the fences must be at least 6 feet high (including gates) and have some barrier at the top to prevent climbing escapes and barriers at the bottom to prevent digging escapes. Young Singers can also squeeze their entire bodies through any space wide enough to admit their heads. A year old Singer curiously checks out a cat in the window. Even at a young age they are extremely agile and can jump very high.
