What is the space between the bars? Trying to find something to keep Mr. Kitty down stairs.

There is a gap of 2.5 inches (6.35cm) between the bars. Our cat jumps over the gate with ease.

The gaps are about 2.5 inches at any given point. The widest one is slightly more, the thinnest is slightly less. So it depends how rotund or inventive Mr. Kitty is! You could maybe screw some garden wire-mesh stuff into the gate if he's a very little guy.

I measure it as being just a hair over 2.5 inches of space between the bars.

the two lower condos are 12" measured from the inside. The upper of the two, is only half a shelf. If your cats like to snuggle in tight spaces, then the lower condo will work. My 18lb cat uses it all the time, my smaller 7lb never. Both cats love to lounge on the shelves and stretch using the posts. But Beware, I have two of these cat condos, and both of them have one shelf, that is not carpeted both top and bottom and The condo walls are not carpeted inside.

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

Go to the pet store and buy 2 bags of aquarium rock and pour it into the rails (they have caps to close it) fill as much as you could and this will prevent the stairs from moving.

Agree with Paul on spacing. My biggest issue was base did not seat securely and I had to run string to be sure the rambuncuous kittens I put in it did not knock it off! You possibly could also run some wire to secure the top better.

The spacing is 3" on center. The bars are 3/8" wide so the opening is 2 5/8" between

The bars have 1 cm/approx. 1/2 inch spacing. That will keep a cat's paws out, but if you have quite large or determined cats it may be better to look at a more solidly built cage.

The top of the platform is 12 inches off the ground, and you can slide an object about 10.5 inches tall under the frame. The bars are spaced 6 inches apart, leaving about 5.5 inches of empty space between them.

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.

I have a medium size hooded litterbox in mine. It takes up almost half the bottom. So kitty has another platform to climb on. Sorry, at work and can't measure but will do so tonight and get back to you.

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

I think kittens would be safe. The bars are about 2 inches apart. Our local private cat shelter has safely used it for many kittens. There is not a lot of room for them to run around in the bottom. The shelves can be taken out or adjusted for their safely when they are very young.

not enough space for tall shot glasses. maybe 2 1/2 - 3 inches between shelves

I don't have a measuring tape at the moment.. But I know it's not more than 2.5 to 3 inches in between bars, my personal opinion is that no dog couldn't walk through it. But I can't guarantee it because I don't know How tiny a dog can be :) I put a coca-cola can up against the gate and you can get it from the other side at all. Not even close ... Sorry if I find my measuring tape I'll come back and type the exact measurements

It doesn't need to be set between walls, but it needs to fold somewhat to stand. If your staircase isn't too wide, you could use this to block the staircase quite effectively unless there is an opening at the side of the stairs that would allow the cat to bypass the gate. The upright rods on the gate are 1-5/8 inches apart, in case that's relevant.

The bars are about three inches apart. A kitten could probably squeeze through, but a full grown cat would have a hard time.
