We have a house with stairs and so need baby gates. The complication is we have cats that need to travel freely from level to level. I know there are no baby gates made with pet doors (due to obvious liability issue with kids potentially being able to get through the pet door). However, we need to go this route for the cats. We bought one of these types of pet gates from Amazon, and I just don't like it - the opening is too small and the door doesn't open enough to make going through easy. This seems to be the only gate I can find online! Any leads on other options?
Re: Who has stairs and cats (baby gate question)?
Unfortunately we're in the same boat. The cat just meows at it and we have to lift her over it and then back again when she's done in the basement. I wish I had better advice!

Our old place had stairs and we had a gate with a cat shaped hole in it.

Cats can jump over baby gates. They'll be fine.
We have one gate and both of my cats took a whole five minutes of examining it before they figured out how to get over it.
SCANDAL!
