When I was a little girl, my parents had a gate that blocked me and my little sister from getting into the laundry room. The gate was mounted to the wall on one side of the doorway, and it opend/closed by expanding/contracting like an accordion. It was a wooden gate, and when open, the gate had diamond-shaped "holes" in it.
I've tried searching for accorion gates online, and all I come up with are sites talking about how they're dangerous for children and shouldn't be used any more. Well, I don't HAVE any children, so that doesn't matter to me. What I need is a gate that will allow my cat to get into the bathroom to access her litter box but will keep my roommate's dog OUT of the bathroom because he does his business in there on my floor and I'm sick of cleaning it up.
The accordian gate is the perfect solution because alothough the dog won't fit through the openings, the cat will. Does anyone know where I can find one of these?

These gates were popular back in the 50's and 60's. I guess if you were to find one now it would be considered an antique. I haven't seen them for sale anywhere for quite a long time. They now have the up dated more fancy ones for sale. You might find one at a garage sale or a flea market.

I got mine at Walmart, they were $29.95. Look in the baby department usually under where the strollers and things like that are kept... good Luck
