Anyone know anything about cat/ kid doors

[indusnm]

So my cat has a boundaries problem. My roommate wants to keep him out of the kitchen, and we;ve been looking at options to close that area off

LOL! I've seen cats jump 8 to 10 feet in order to get out of the silo room on the farm I grow up on without even batting a whisker. You could close off the whole door, and leave just a couple inches of space at the top, and he'd find a way to get through it if he really wanted to. You'd probably need an actual door. Most of the other devices I've seen for keeping cats and other pets out of places involve noises and sometimes electrical shock 0_O.

Oh, no no no no! No shocking the kitty!
I guess the baby door only really works on my sister's cat because he's a little obese...

Oh yeah, it'll take a whole lot more than a baby gate to keep a cat out. I will say that my cat almost never went into the kitchen at my old apartment, I think because there was a trace of some kind of unpleasant pee smell on the cabinets by the entrace to the kitchen. (Yuck, I know.) So there may be a scent option to keep the cat *mostly* out, but only if the cat's not sufficiently motivated to enter.

Yeah, I tried those sprays you get, and my cat almost scratched his fur off, the chemicals were soooooo strong. Thanks- I thought it wouldn't work!
