:) They will climb it in 2 seconds flat. :) What I did was cover the
plastic mesh with duct tape and put the gate up so the bar is on the
outside. They tried a few times and lost interest. It works great for
me. Of course, Keesa found that if she got on top of the endtable and
*leaped* out, she could just manage to hook her two front paws on the
top of the gate ... :) So we moved the endtable. I should put up a sign:
"House Arranged by Ferret" !!!
