pet gate with cat opening


A pet gate with a cat opening is a useful way to manage both dogs and cats. With their versatile configurations, these gates work in both narrow and wide openings, as well as come in sizes for many breeds. Although all of these gates could also be used as baby gates, there are very few baby gates with pet doors for the top of the stairs available on the market. This is because pet doors tend to open both ways and could pose problems due to the many types of stairs there are. However, with available adapters, many of the gates below could be installed at the top of the stairs. Also, some of the gates on our list are wall-mounted, which could also work on stairs. Since most people do not want to damage the wood on the stair banisters, the adapter option is a great one as well.

If you are looking to have a pet gate at the top of the stairs with a small cat opening, be sure to verify that the gate is able to be set up to only open one direction and that it works on your specific stairs. In this post, we feature six quality pet gates with cat openings that are highly rated by consumers. We also feature several adapters for baby and pet gates that make them usable at the top or bottom of stairs.
