I have a friend with 3 dogs, & 3 cats. She has a room for the cats for all their stuff & to get away from the dogs, even the the dogs are friendly, they play "ruff" and the cats need a quiet place of their own. Could you put the baby gates across the door of cats' room (one leaving maybe 4-5 inches off the ground so the cats can run under it, and use the 2nd gate stacked on top to keep Madison from jumping it.) My friend does this and it works great, the dogs cannot crawl under the small space or 5 inches, nor can they jump the gate. Leaving all other doors in the house closed is perfect, no access no accidents. She will eventually learn as you continue taking her out to the same door. Crating would also help when you're not home
