How wide are the gaps between the slats? Could a cat get their head stuck between slats?

The gaps are about 2 inches. My 8 pound yorkiepoo cannot get much more than her nose through. There is no way a cat could get their head in.

They are 1 1/4" apart. We have a cat and got this when he was still a kitten, only 7 weeks old, and we have had no issues with him getting stuck. Now that he's older though he can get in and out as he pleases to play with our puppies.

Hello Kevin, I just measured my Richell plastic paneled fence. The gaps are 1 1/2 inches wide. I bought it to use on my enclosed patio to protect my old cat from energetic dogs. The gaps are way too narrow to be any risk to my cat....I wouldn't think even a kitten could get their head through a 1 1/2 opening. Hope that was helpful? FYI? I have both the plastic fencing for outside, AND the very pretty, (also more spendy) wood & wire version inside the house. Fabulous product.

17" wide by 10 1/2" deep. All 3 other platforms are the same size, you can position them however you want, any direction. The pole takes up some space though, so this is good for kittens or smaller cats. My 20 lb. cat plays on it but it's too small to lounge. Also, it was very close, but it fits fine with my standard ceiling height of about 8 ft. I had to pull tension down as far as it would go, then tapped it into place with a hammer. You need a tall ladder or stepstool to easily reach the ceiling. So mine is on full- tension and doesn't budge when the cats are playing/ scratching on it. It creaks a little but the tension is strong enough so it won't move out of place. 17" wide by 10 1/2" deep.

I used a memory foam (not sure of thickness... But I'm sure it's close to 8") and I don't see a gap. Did have to modify and screw a solid piece of plywood across the top half of the bed because the slats kept slamming to the ground. No gap at the headboard though. Just be warned about the slats!

that seems to be the outside size of the frame. but as far as a cat getting in/out I have one cat that must weigh least 20 lbs and he goes in an out.. as far as depth .. have it mounted on outside 2x4 entry wall and then made a frame to go inside to make it weather proof and "clean" looking. (the lock section on the inside wall ) works great.. don't even seem to have any extra bugs or flies coming in.

The platforms are not that big. The top one is approx. 10x10. My cat is about 14 lbs and will not go in the cubby hole or lay on any of the platforms. I think she's just too big. I might take it apart and make bigger platforms for her to lay on. Sorry, but I really cannot recommend this item until its been re-designed.

It may depending on the size of your cat. There is about 2 inches of space at the bottom. Also, if your cat climbs, he may be able to slip under the tarp at the top and get out.

I'm not positive, but I think about 2 inches. I wouldn't think it's enough room for cats to crawl under but they can be quite nimble! I would be afraid they would knock it over if they were able to crawl under it. Hope that helps.

I think most cats would be able to sneak through the bottom corners. The opening on the bottom corners is a little bit wider. Also, all cats I've ever owned could probably jump over this gate.

I do not believe they would be comfortable in there. My cat weighs 11-12# and he has enough room to turn around; but I do not believe 2 kitties could turn around at the same time.

I don't have a cat, but I suspect so. There are no large gaps when installed.

Well it depends of the distance between slats. If they are about 3 inch apart you are ok. If the gap is bigger then I would not recommend it.

We recommend as per the assembly instructions that the gap between the slats are less than 4mm.

There's maybe 2 inches clearance between the feet, cats won't be able to squeeze.

I have a 21 pound male and he makes it through. It's close but he doesn't have trouble getting thru. He's just a big cat not fat so that might make a difference. Of course I'm not saying you have a fat kitty, but if it's more round than tall it might be tight.difference

Near as I can tell (my cat being in my face) the slats on my twin bed are about 6" apart.

The widest opening is about 4.5in wide and 2in high. I have 2 cats and neither of them slip through...even though it was funny to watch one of them try

The measurements inside the wood sides and ends are roughly (cat was *helping* me) 78" x 81"...you'd have to check the measurements of your frame. (If you need more exact than that, just ask and I'll toss the cat in the bathroom.) There is a support down the center which supports the original wood slats and may or may not help the bed stay true, but I suspect not. My mattress which is a deep queen butts right up against the wooden sides.
