We have a logistical problem that can only be solved by a baby gate with
a cat-sized door. Has anyone seen such a product and if so, where did
you find it?

Thanks!
Keith

most cats can jump over standard baby gates. if yours can't. buy a wooden
one and cut a small hole in it.

When Tiger was a kitten (four to five months old), I tried to restrict
him to one room with a baby gate. It didn't work. He would climb right
over it so I had to erect a shelf over it to stop him.

Agreed. Baby gates (two of them, arranged vertically) managed to stop
our kittens until the first time we had chicken wings on our side of the
gate. After that it was up-and-over with no real difficulty at all.

I tried a baby gat with Weeble, he was able to squeeze between the edge of
the gate & the doorframe. Poorly constructed gate - if a kitten can squeeze
through it, what happens when said baby that gate is supposedly constructed
for gets stuck?

Yuck. Crappy gate. You couldn't get a finger between our gates and the
wall.

Can I get a w00t w00t?

Thanks for the personal experiences ... but I would still like to know
if such a device exists. It is the only solution to a cat-dog issue.

Thanks,
Keith
