Not useful for containing kittens

On: 2008-09-20

We bought this to keep our 9 week old kitten in the master bedroom with us at night, and it worked for a day or so. Until the kitten figured out he could climb it. So I made some cardboard panels (out of the Amazon box the gate came in!) to cover up the wire mesh. That worked for about a night. Until the kitten figured out he could jump up, hang off the top of the gate with his paws, and pull himself over! We didnt think he could jump to the height of the "extra tall" gate. Oops. Lousy smart Siamese kittens!

However these issues are no fault of the gate. Consider that a kitten is like a toddler with fangs who can climb your curtains at will. This gate would probably be good for a human toddler who doesnt have those features. Its decent for the price, as we were looking to just try *something* and didnt want to spend a lot of money. The only thing I dont like about it is that its a little difficult to expand -- like the two sides dont really want to pull apart. Thats the only reason I gave it a four.

Not too sturdy

This gate works okay, but it really isnt all that sturdy and the way the arm comes down it would be easy to break it off accidentally. I dont really recommend this to anyone.

I am pleased with this gate and for the price paid through Amazon. I got it for keeping my dogs in certain areas of the house. If you have a high jumpers, they still may be able to clear the jump. The wire mesh allows open visibility for interaction. The pressure mounting is easy to use. The release knob on my gate is difficult to operate.
