I'm with @jemmoma for baby proofing. Here are basic notes
-buy the outlet covers that are the entire plate not just the plug cover because later on your toddler can easily figure out how to remove the plug.
-we did a baby gate over the stairs at the top and bottom of stairs. We also baby proofed the banister rails at the top.
Everything else we just moved out of reach. It was easier then locking cabinets.
Making sure if there are blinds in the house that the cords aren't in reach. Securing the flat screen TV to the wall and making sure furniture is braced to the wall. Removing any lightweight tables that can topple over when they start pulling up to stand and cruising.
I'm trying to remember if there is anything else...we didn't do too much baby proofing. Only the basics.
Thank you for the suggestions carrots and ashbash. I think either one of those items could work well for us. Carrots- do you think a baby could fit through the door part of that gate? Where does one purchase a cat tunnel?
Anyone have any thoughts on how to baby proof a litter box area? Our box is currently in our laundry room, and as much as I would like to relocate it, there really isn't another place for it to be. I would use a baby gate, but one of our cats is elderly/quite far, and I am sure couldn't jump over the gate. I have no idea what I should do- aside from just putting B in a large pen
ETA: large pen is not ideal- I really want him to be able to explore
Tongue in cheek here, but my first thought was "google lamb creep, or creep gate." Think verticle bars too narrow for kid, but cat can squeeze thru...
