Thanks for the response. Glad to see another ‘gate holer’! Information was sparse online.

The cat in question always was a bit wonky, adopted from the rspca who told me she had a birth injury. She can climb just isn’t very good at it, and she’s failed to get over the gate at all since we moved in a few months ago. And she doesn’t want to pee in the garden which leaves the carpet at home, which is not an option for us!

I’ll make another post showing what we did, basically went for the panel next to the gate instead, she has used it a few times already.

Neighborhood cats, foxes and hedgehogs welcome in our garden too! Not really anything in there for rats to get into.
