Unless, of course, you have a determined and talented jumper. We built a "room" for our guys within our bedroom. It is a pen 6'x7', with 4' walls, except where the gate is. That is a 2' wall with another 2' of gate. When the gate is open, one of our girls, Daphne, quite dependably makes a break for it -- she jumps, catches the top of the wall with her claws (they are clipped 2x a month, but are still sufficient), and then pull herself up. Bang, she's over the wall.
