Anyone know the amount of space between the bars, in inches? (Trying to see if my kitten will be able to slip through or not)

a cat could definitely just jump over this thing without wiggling through. it's only 2 and a half feet tall.

My full grown cat can slip through. Although she is a slim cat, she is full grown and can easily slip through!

The space between the bars is 2 1/2 In., but the space between the end of the gate and the wall (door frame) will very according to the size of the opening. It is 3 in. on my doors. My grown cat goes through with ease on the end.

At the widest where the bars are bent at the gate, it's 2.5 " At the wall, there is a narrow space of 4 " before it angles down to the narrow width, with a great possibility of kitten getting head stuck. There a full grown cat might be able to wiggle through the 2.5, it would be a challenge with the danger of them getting stuck. I wouldn't recommend for cats, they are curious and will try anything.

It's about 2inches wide between each bar, and I also have a kitten and she slips through the bars constantly. She can also jump over them.

If your cat is able to jump over the gate. We are only using the gate to keep our dog in the laundry room when we are gone & are not using the extension part of the gate. A cat would not be able to fit through between the bars.

The bars are very narrowly spaced. We just got two baby rats after one of our girls died (we now have four females in the cage), and there is no way they can get skinny enough to squeeze through. The space between the bars is probably about 3/8 inch. The cage is very well designed and won't pinch them anywhere either (like in the door). We have been very happy with this cage!

no, the bars are 2 inchs width apart & 3inchs rectangle shape height. When I first put my Chihuahua in this she was 2.2 lbs and she never could think about getting out between the bars.She is now 4.5 lbs at 5 months and she still cant get out. Hope this helps ease your mind.

The spacing is 5/8 inch (I just measured it with a tape after seeing some of the other responses that are wrong) between the bars. My green cheek has never gotten out unless we leave one of the doors open. They are very smart though and he checks the doors to make sure they are shut. I have been very pleased with this cage. Good luck.

Sorry to get back with You so late . It is 5 inches. I had a fat cat and he can get in there easily. I love that and thinking about getting another one.

abotu 1/2 inch i Keep a sugar glider in it she can't get through the bars, you will have no problem if you use it for a ferret...

I don't know exactly how wide it is. But my kitten is 9 months old and still fits through it with no problem. She loves it.

I would assume less than half an inch (very small space between bars). At most, possibly 1/2 an inch.

It's about an inch between the bars. DO NOT buy this for any size hamsters. Hamsters can squeeze into spaces the size of their skull, which is why this is meant for guineas and rabbits. My hamster escaped this and he's a huge Syrian fancy bear hamster. Petco and petsmart sell rat cages that are almost the size of this with smaller bar spacing. I bought that for my hammy and it works perfectly. Good luck!

The widest gap is 2-3/4". A small cat could easily pass through. A larger cat would have to work at it.

I'm not quite sure if I understand your question, but the spaces between the horizontal bars on my cage are 3/4 of an inch and approximately 5 inches between vertical bars

I have not used the cage in this way. The wires are far enough apart to get feet stuck use newspaper or a towel to thread between the bars to prevent trapped feet. Keep the shelves close to the floor to prevent kitten mishaps. They can't escape

No, probably not. The bar spacing is about 3/4" - small rats are able to climb between them.

Just eyeballing it -- maybe a little over 2 inches between bars. I don't think a full-grown cat would be able to squeeze through; a small kitten maybe could. I think the height would be more of the question for using it to contain a cat. If your cat is like a kitten I had, it wouldn't be unrealistic for it to jump to the top of the gate, perch there, and then jump off to where ever it wants to go!! :) That's speculating -- I haven't actually used it with a cat...!!

The gap between the bars is about 3/4 inch. Seems it would have to be a very skinny and nimble rat to escape. Plenty of room; ours houses a chincilla

The width is 1" between bars, not enough for any grey to escape, that I know for sure as i have had two from 4 weeks. This cage is big not real big but not small or medium, excellent my girl loves it, climbs and explores it
