Question for people with babies and cats?

I am in exactly the same situation. My twins are not yet crawling but are getting better at rolling from place to place. Our cat box is downstairs, and sadly, I do not think the fat cat can jump over a baby gate placed at the top of the stairs. This is the gate I was looking at on Amazon:

It has good reviews and from the looks of it, the pet 'cut out' is perfect for cats but too small for a baby to maneuver through.

I never used a gate with my kids and cats(kids are 14 months apart).I just made sure I kept a good eye on them. Your kids really shouldn't be in the kitchen or laundry room regardless if you have cats.A better idea would be a large play pen for the kids since there will be times when you will have to deal with just one baby or need to corral both of them at the same time(like to answer the door or phone or just plain use the bathroom yourself). I would be afraid of one of the babies crawling or rather attempting to crawl through the cat door. cats are good jumpers so a plain inexpensive pressure gate would work. they'll figure out they can jump over the gate and get away from the babies or go do what it is they need to do. It will also keep the kids safe by not allowing them in the kitchen or laundry room where they can get into a ton of trouble fast.

I put the gate in.

The cats (even the old one) had no problem jumping it.

However, I have found that as far as litter boxes go, it works best to put it up on a table or something. This keeps it out of reach of babies, makes it easier for adults to scoop, gives the cats a good view all around (making them feel more secure so they use it without issue), and basically works better. So even when my daughter got over there, the cat litter was out of her reach. We did the same with the cat food.

Cats are very good jumpers. They should be able to jump over a normal baby gate without a problem.

Our cats just hop over the standard gates from Wal-mart.

We installed one of those accordian gates.. High enough that the cats could get under it. The boys didn't try to get under it until they were walking. (We did pad the sharp points with cloth just in case tho!) Obviously supervision is essential tho!

Wanna understand whats strange? i become a bored 2d grader and that i desperate to make a track approximately that. Ahem.. as quickly as there become a toddler who met yet another toddler and then that they had a toddler and then the babys toddler had yet another toddler and that toddler had yet another toddler and so on.. Its a never ending track

is Always a way you mus deiced
