Three baby gates does not equal one kitten gate.

So needing eventually to introduce the kittens to Dido (which you might have seen poking around and likely hissing) we decided that having the door closed all the time was prob not a great idea. So we bought three baby gates and have stacked them one above the other.

Now while we COULD create a toddler internment camp that would rival Alcatraz, you would think this would deter something smaller than my left foot from climbing all of them and jumping down the other side? Not Athena. So what we had to do is cut off a piece of screen and attach it to the top baby gate and use pushpins to secure it to the wall. Thats right, we now have an immobile baby gate covering one of the doors. On the bright side if we take out the middle one the door closes so we can thankfully close the door while we are sleeping.

Apollo and Hera will actually now sit laying against the bottom gate and sleep. Coco is there constantly also laying against the gate. Dido actually has started jumping into the room to investigate. She has been pretty brave and now that she is constantly seeing the kittens I think she will adjust just fine. Dido is never hostile only afraid-y-cat.
