we FINALLY found a pressure-fit safety-gate for the kitchen, so now i can make cups of tea without closing the door and having a crying millie behind it, whom iv got to wait to get bored of crying and move away before i can open the door for fear of trapping her fingers beneath it- and i will no longer will on leaving the kitchen have to prop the door open enough to let the cat through but put a heavy chair there so millie cannot get in 
however, the cat hasnt mastered it yet
its only 75cm high, he can jump onto MUCH higher surfaces (obviously!)
but we put him in the kitchen, and he just miaows until we open the gate, or else he just sits there on the cold hard floor!
i kno it must be tricky to jump ON to, as its a thin surface it must be like jumping onto a tightrope- but cant cats leap straight over them like a hurdle? if so do they need a lot of running space to do this coz the kitchen isnt that big its only about 3 and a half metres across. and thats not including the units at the back he must only have about 3 metres to run up to it to get out can he do it?
or will we have to get up all the time for him
