Cat gate - does such a thing exist?

[MESSING2]

I'm looking for a baby gate type item that could be used to keep cats out of a room.

Our dcats have the run of the house (and outside) but there's one room they're not allowed in.

Normal baby gates aren't high enough, I've seen extending mesh alternatives but I expect they could climb those.

Has anyone successfully installed something like this?

Yes, but I’ve just managed to find this one & it’s even better. I’d have loved to have seen how they looked from the flats opposite!

@EmpressaurusKitty what is that cat trying to achieve?

It looks like it's hanging from its chin like some kind of performance artiste.

Bearing in mind my ddog could get over the 6ft fence, can’t imagine how you would prevent a cat

We have a tall version of this and it works well.

One of mine can. Other one couldn't even figure out the cat flap.

I fostered both the climbers as kittens. I think they were exploring.

There is a company called flatcats and they sell window & door mesh, which is attached to the frame by Velcro. You wouldn’t be able to attach the bottom along anything, but maybe if it’s tight enough across the other 3 available edges your cat won’t figure out there’s a gap at the bottom?

HCat would suss it out in no time.

The mesh on my window is Flatcats. They make it to measure so you could, theoretically, ask for a long enough length that the bottom bit could stick to a strip of Velcro the floor but I’m not sure you’d want to.

Well Arthur can jump onto the top of the bathroom cabinet, so only a door will do.

My cats would slide through those bars on the gates, no problem. Slinky little buggers that they are!

I got a mesh door velcro thing (from amazon) for my back door and they have never climbed it. They like to sit there and feel the breeze and when occasionally next doors cat strolls up hoping to come in, they sit and glare at him! Safe in the knowledge he can't get to them.

It zips and unzips to get in/out and its lasted really well.

Our cat does it because there is a fly that she needs to catch (the fly escapes, because it can fly and the cat cannot)

We had that once.

Came home from holiday to find dreadful mess in the kitchen and thought we'd been burgled until we realised the only thing missing was about 5kg of an 8kg sack of expensive prescription dry food - turns out dd1 had left her window open and a cat burglar from up the road took advantage.....

To OP - we have tried some of those mess doors but none have been truly successful as the cats either climb/pull them down, wiggle under or just rip them!

We use this to keep our dog contained but not tested it on cats

This was my suggestion too. Cats are notorious escape artists (some can actually open doors too).
