Has anyone used this gate to introduce a new cat to a home of other cats? If so, did it provide a good barrier between the cats?

I have dogs but it is a good barrier between my kitchen and dining room.My 3 dogs stay out of the dining room.My 1 cat never tried to climb it and was happy when the dogs were on the other side.

I house/pet sit and bring my cat with me. I bought this gate to keep her from the house pets, sometimes cats, sometimes dogs. I LOVE this gate. It is the best height for safety. The mesh screening is small enough so a cat couldn't stick a paw thru, but if you are introducing cats, they can still eyeball each other. It also is secure in mounting b/c it has many grooves to adjust the gate to exactly the width you need. I feel my cat is very safe with this gate. Plus it's very sturdy. Good luck with your intro!

I did not use if for that reason, however I do use it to keep the cats from the bird when I'm not home..... An agile cat could jump this gate if it wants to. My suggestion would be to use this on the bottom and place another baby gate on top of it to make it too tall to jump. I've had to do that as well. Good luck. I hope the cats become fast friends.

Yes, I used it just for that reason and it did a good job. I used 2 gates one on top of another to make a complete barrier and removed bottom one to get into room. It was a pain but only for about a month, well worth the inconvenience.

Absolutely. I actually need an extra gate, but am using the end panel as one to block hallway entrance. I have an open kitchen living room area. When at work, the dogs can't get into the living room or hallway where there is carpet. I love it, you see pics of it on amazon, the whole thing folds up neatly and can be restored in the box it was shipped in. Use as many panels as needed. When I am finished un packing, I will have my daughter take pics for the site, if allowed. You will love it! Richell, if your listening, How do I get another gate?

we put it in a existing wall in a entry and put the door on the inside wall. Screwed it to the wall. the other part went against the outside wall.. Just make sure it is level and square. We used 1x4 to line between the two walls.. (make a box to fit the hole. they have a sorta 4" ledge inside the wall to step on befgore they get out. But with the door on the inside wall helps keep rain from coming down on the door. Been good and we've got a "fat-fat cat" using it along with smaller cats. great door. Let me know if I can help u or if something is not clear.. but was really asy. we put it in a existing wall in a entry and put the door on the inside wall.

I do love my gate. My cat can't get through, but I'd check the specs online. If you have a mini or teacup puppy, they may be able to squeeze through....though foubtful.

With a little help, the smaller of my two cats, I was able to push through the slots (just wanted to see if she would fit through). However, my two cats do not try to go through the slots but rather they can jump it if they want. Our main goal was to keep our dog confined to one side of the house and for that it works great.

LK, we have used with our cat, and have been very good, our cat has panoramic view inside and the opening work very secure. You will have not any problems.

Yes it worked with my 2 cats. One cat quickly learned I would come running so she ignored the sound and just sat on it to see how fast I could get there. The other avoided the area like the plague.

Did you ever find a gate that was secure for your baby but your cat could pass through? I'm having this same issue and it's difficult to tell by only reading the descriptions while reading over them.

Our cats were able to jump this gate, including the cat with a cast on his hind leg. We bought the gate to help keep him contained in the bathroom while his leg is healing. First he walked between the bars (the gap between the bars is about 2.75 inches in places). After we duct taped PVC pipe to the bars to narrow the openings, he changed tactics and easily jumped to the top of the gate. It's a nice gate, but it hasn't been able to contain our cats.

We installed it on our laundry room door to keep the dogs out of the cat food and box :(. When we pushed the door back and forth it was quiet. We ended up taking the door off because one of our cats was afraid of it. Hope this helps!

Nope. My cat caught on how to use the door faster than one of my dogs. I like that, but if you have a strictly indoor cat, it won't work.

The critters COULD knock it over if they tried, which they haven't. The dogs could even jump over it easily, but it hasn't occurred to them yet, either. The gate is going across a big double-door to my second bedroom, preventing the dogs from raiding the cat litter box (disgusting creatures that they are). Just to make sure, I sandwiched one side of the gate between the wall and a heavy object, in this case the bucket with the litter. On the other side, I just folded out the extra leg a bit to give it stability. Have had the gate for about 2 months now, no problem. The cats hop right over it.

That's the same reason I got mine! I stupidly connected the first one in my kitchen, and, wow, my cats bolted out of the room. But it seems to have no effect on them when they are set up outside - of course, it's Texas and I don't open my windows.... and the catstops point away from the house. Actually I only use them long enough to get other cats out of the habit of coming into my yard... then I loan them to friends who also have a cat problem!

Door may be too big for a cat, took awhile for my 30lb dogs to figure out how to work the double flap door. Now that they aren't scared of it anymore it works great!

At the widest where the bars are bent at the gate, it's 2.5 " At the wall, there is a narrow space of 4 " before it angles down to the narrow width, with a great possibility of kitten getting head stuck. There a full grown cat might be able to wiggle through the 2.5, it would be a challenge with the danger of them getting stuck. I wouldn't recommend for cats, they are curious and will try anything.

We bought this item specifically for that purpose: to let one cat come and go as he pleases and keep the other from doing so. All you have to do is put the magnet on the cat who you want to be able to come and go freely and put no magnet on the other cat.

Hum, I don't know about cats. I'm sure they can't squeeze through, but wouldn't a cat be able to jump over the gate...
