Cats and baby safety gates

There comes a time when parents decide to make their home a safer place for baby . Problem is that you have another baby , a cat . I find cat owners are very devoted to
their 4 pawed friends .

Ok heres the problem .
You have a cat . Its no longer able to jump a baby gate . Either too old , to fat or too complacent . ( In most cases they can squeeze under even though they don't look like they could . I have a 18 pound cat that can . ) Now what am I going to do ? Unfortunately there is no good answer . If you set your gate high enough for your cat , your toddler can slip under it and get caught or worse . Maybe a hole in the gate . Nope that didn't work either . My kid gets his head stuck in it . Wait I found a company that has a
patented gate with a small pet door in it .

After reading about the gate I realized they were very specific .This is for pets only ! So what options are there . Now you need to decide what
are your priorities . Your child or your cat . This is the reality of it . There are no options other than to restrict the area your cat is in , or take a risk with your child . I once owned
28 cats at one time .
I can sympothize I am definately a cat lover . I have tried to design a gate for cats . I am convinced a 4" round hole would work . Where as a 4" square hole wouldn't
. So if I make a gate with a 4 inch round hole in it heres my new problem . It gives your little guy or girl something to stand on and get over the gate . So unfortunately I am in a situation of saying I still have no answer . Will continue to try and find a answer .
