Question, re cats.

[kyrielle]

Anyone know the best way (besides closed doors) to confine cats to or from one part of the house? Is there a baby gate, doggy gate, or other barrier that works well? Does it require screws in the wall, or is a free-standing one going to be enough? (Bearing in mind that at least one of the cats is moderately strong and heavy.)

We have a pet gate that we used when Tigger first hurt her legs to keep her from being able to go up/down stairs on her own. It doesn't require any screws and works by tension. You adjust it to the width you need and there is a spring-type clampy-thing (really technical I know) that provides additional tension to keep it in place. Tigger and Ashley are both pretty hefty kitties and they never got past it. An agile (and non-over-weight) cat could easy just jump over it though.
