  I can envision a copper pipe, split lengthwise.  Attach each half to a "c=

We did basically that to keep our cat from jumping over a brick wall and le=
ave our courtyard.

6 wires closely spaced apart at the top of the wall alternating between gro=
und and hot....fed by a 6,500 volt cattle fence charger (the 500v version d=
idn't phase the cat).  the fence charger pulses every second...she got her =
head between 2 wires and ZAP, she flew off that wall and hasn't even glance=
d up at the top of the wall since.
