How tall is this gate? I'm looking for something free standing to put at the top of our stairs to keep the cats from going up there.

This is a short gate approximately 20 inches tall. I have cats and believe me, this gate will do nothing to deter cats. They can easily jump over it.

Beautiful gate, not nearly tall enough, my old beagle leapt it, I don't use any anymore, max height 14 inches

The only way I can see to keep the cat door open permanently would be to tie it - like with little zip ties. It's welded on, so removing it isn't an option. At least not on my gate.

Hi Leslie, the tallest part is 39 1/2inches and where the cat would take his catnap is @ 34" tall. Our cat uses it everyday and it's just the right height for them to look out the window. I would recommend this product and Thanks for your question, I hope this helps.

It's a pressure gate, so no. It wouldn't be safe. You need a gate specifically for the top of stairs which is connected to the post or wall.

The critters COULD knock it over if they tried, which they haven't. The dogs could even jump over it easily, but it hasn't occurred to them yet, either. The gate is going across a big double-door to my second bedroom, preventing the dogs from raiding the cat litter box (disgusting creatures that they are). Just to make sure, I sandwiched one side of the gate between the wall and a heavy object, in this case the bucket with the litter. On the other side, I just folded out the extra leg a bit to give it stability. Have had the gate for about 2 months now, no problem. The cats hop right over it.

The gate does not have to be installed on the floor. You can set the eyelets at any level you want. They suggest close to the floor so pets cant try to get under it and get stuck

My Extension is exactly 41 inch high, just measured it again. My gate is used for keeping cats in or out of a certain area. I have it in a wider door area, the whole gate is measuring 42 1/2 inches from floor to top of gate. The gate side suctions fit right above the baseboard and the extension fit perfect with my original gate. Hope this helps.

My husband put this gate up because we have a dog, and I liked the design. Also because I wusnted something that would swing open. The easy lach is a big plus. But we have it installed at the top of the stairs. We have a new grand baby, and my concern, is when she gets old enought to crawl/ walk. Is the latch going to be strong enought to keep the gate from breaking open ? I don't want it to be something I have to worry about, her falling doun the stairs. It's screwed into the studs of the doorway on both sides. But I need answeres. Thanks Tammy

this is the tallest gate I've found, I'm sure any dog could knock it down or a cat could possibly jump it but I don't think you'll find a taller gate

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.

My cats cannot go through the bars. They are more than 1.5 but less than 1.75. You do know that a cat can go o Eric any gate, even 2 stacked on top of each other (24 inches each) don't you? We like that it is easy for us to step over this 17 inch gate and our westie can't. Our 11 pounding legged maltipoo can jump it but only did it once. I caged her for punishment and she has never done it again. I use this when I am home or when we make quick trips. I plan to get a taller one for when we are gone longer. My dogs have never knocked it over. If they both pushed on it at the same time they probably could. A good gate for short dogs. My cats cannot go through the bars.

The gate is not that tall and I don't see why a healthy cat could not jump over this gate. I'm looking at it right now and I feel confident a normal cat will be able to jump it.

I have a very active Yorkshire terrier who is 8 pounds. I have had no problems with it withstanding his leaps up the stairs onto his cedar chest to look out a window. I have it at 13 inches high. It appears to be made out of studier recycled plastic, easy to put together and has carpet treads on the steps which are removable. the carpet allows them to get a grip on the steps as they go up and down. this will probably handle it for your cat. If you want a higher one they make it with an additional step added. It also supports more weight. I think the one I have goes to 25 lbs.

40 inches tall. it comes assembled with hinges which allow you to stand it up in a "V" shape. It can block a doorway if you train your dog not to touch it but a persistent dog can push it aside or knock it down. i have bought several and i like the style and convenience of moving it to different locations of the house depending on where i want my dogs to stay. I use a 4 piece gate for wider areas.

We have 2 cats which total close to yours and they both run and leap off of ours frequently. It would most certainly need to be anchored somewhere, either the floor or a wall, to prevent it from tipping. Each post has a 2" bolt which holds it to the post below or above, plastic wrapped in carpet/cord. The steps would not hold up however. They are only held by a single L bracket at the top. A screw through the bottom or an extra bracket on the top would help but you need to be careful that you don't leave anything exposed that would cut the cat.

I do love my gate. My cat can't get through, but I'd check the specs online. If you have a mini or teacup puppy, they may be able to squeeze through....though foubtful.
