Don't Do It

When my two-year old isn't trying to stick his hands in the kitty litter, he's taking the cat's dry cat food out of her dish and putting it in her water bowl. Or maybe he's eating it, it's hard to tell what's going on over in that corner of the kitchen. Well, he shouldn't get any hairballs at least.
I try to dissuade this behavior by putting the baby gates up and raising them six inches from the floor so the cat can get under them but the children can't. This means that instead of running his hands through kitty litter, my son is down on his belly trying to squeeze under the gate; consequently dragging himself all over the filthy kitchen floor. In comparison that makes playing with kitty litter look like a relatively clean activity.
