The only thing that comes to mind is to use a couple of spring-loaded curtain rods and a curtain the height you want the finished gate to be. I cannot imagine what the proper height might be, as a medium sized dog can also jump quite high. Can't you just put a cat door in the door to the bathroom, one large enough for the cat hut too small for the dog?

The door is made of a plastic-like material and I don't know if it can be cut cleanly. Since no people use that bathroom I could remove the door. It is the 24 inch opening that is the problem.

Frankly, your refusal to consider any options other than a baby or pet gate is the problem.

Not really, all handicaps aren't immediately obvious. I have Asperger Syndrome and often can't "see" what someone says. After ruminating a while I have decided to try several sturdy spring-loaded curtain rods, starting 7 inches above the floor. If the dog jumps the rods I can always add more to increase the height.

Oh!!!!! Did you mean a rod at the top and bottom and the curtain mounted on both? That might be enough to keep the dog from pushing through. I am going shopping for a small bottom café curtain and two rods. The dog is a 2 year old tiny Lab mix, 37 pounds, and she doesn't seem to be a jumper.

Mudlady, here's one from Amazon. I googled 24 inch pet gate. Hope this helps.

Here is a link that might be useful: Accordian 24 inch gate

I ordered this gate--thanks, wantoretire. I searched for a couple days, almost always with Google, and asked for a gate to fit a 24 inch wide-width-and span. Every reply came back for a 24 inch height. So much for Google. I have a wonderful handyman who will be working here for several days and I hope the new gate arrives in time for him to do the installation. I don't have the courage to put many screws or nails into this house.

Having the same problem and notice that the Accordian gate is 24 inches tall, not wide. In case you're still looking, I found this option https://www.chewy.com/s?rh=c%3A288%2Cc%3A364%2Cc%3A370%2Cc%3A1465&gclid=CjwKEAjwsLTJBRCvibaW9bGLtUESJAC4wKw1tNhZa7pN0ERHjjv3WZA_HMiGWYoyJDM0GYLaX-3KOhoCfr3w_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Evenflow makes one. Even with the hardware it fit a 24" door frame. It even swings.
