Then I just might have a solution for you.
The gate swings open both ways and is pressure mounted to the doorway.
Mia kept getting free of the gate that kept her upstairs and so we came up with a way to foil her.
First she would squeeze through the bars of the gate, then we put plexiglass over the gate covering the holes.
Next she started jumping on the top of the gate and making her way over that way.
This solution prevents both things.
Though she can (surprisingly) jump the height of the gate, since the top part is coroplast (corrugated plastic) it bends when she tries to jump over it. And makes her fall. So it might be a solution for someone looking for a gate that doesn’t break the bank but you also don’t have to screw into the wall like a screen door.
Just thought I’d share that, because I know keeping cats out of certain areas is notoriously difficult.
