This is what I need!

Was just looking at my latest Zoo+ offers email and was wondering why anyone would spend £50, let alone £60 on a baby gate when I realised why .....

Perfect .... I can only get a baby gate on the bottom step of my stairs (funny bannisters :mad:) and it's too high for wee cat to get over (dodgy knee).

Now .... would this come out the dog or cats budget :rotfl:

ETA just had a thought .....for anyone thinking of getting one, I'd recommend checking the size of the hole in case someone's head could get stuck in it!:eek:

    It does rather seem to be tempting fate on the doggy front - I could see mine trying to shove her way through and getting wedged without a second thought.
    Especially if there was a cat going "nah nah na nah nah" on the other side.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Yup ..... realised that after I'd got over my initial excitement of seemingly finding a solution to a long standing problem.

    My Frankie fits through the gaps in ours. He's still a kitten though so quite slim.
    We have taken it away now but might need it back up, Kia has sneaked upstairs the past two mornings.

    Tyson sneaks upstairs sometimes, although I have never actually seen him. Only ever seen the muddy paw print evidence!

    A friend of mine has one of those, works very well with her big dog and her cats.

    I got a regular gate from Argos - cats are clever enough to jump on top/over.

    With the type on the photo, I would worry about Zara getting her head stuck in and walking around with the whole gate on her neck - as she does with the rubbish bin lead sometimes....

    We had one that screwed into the wall and my albeit skinny cat crawled under it (about 6" off the ground).
