We have a cat that likes to climb on the screens. Does this screen hold up to cats? Also, we live in the south and tiny insects (i.e. no-see-ums) are also a concern. Is this screen small enough to keep them out?

The size holes are standard. As the reg screen. The mesh is thicker. This may be hard to understand. The result is less light bec there's more obstruction blocking the light. This is the trade off, but this screen is very strong

Not At all,I have my cats go thru it all the time.If you were to nail/screw it to the wood tight maybe but then its not a screen door.

Cats can climb pretty much anything. My cat uses it. He loves the middle perch the most. The dangling mouse actually lasted longer than I thought. But overall very durable, def worth the buy!!

I have cats too. It measures 2 inches. I have gotten so many compliments on this screen! Buy it by all means.

We have a red iguana that crawls all over inside ours. He uses the screen to climb on. We did reinforce the sides with plexiglass because the cage is not that sturdy. Once we did that it works great. He is almost 2 ft. long from nose to tail. He is very active including using his nails to climb up the screen.

We have cats and have had no problems. The strips work so good on bugs, as we have a log house and seems wasp are drawn to it, but when they come in they die. I also hang them on the porch which keeps it bug free. Hope this helps.

No idea how it stands up to small holes from cat toe nails. I use the pet screen to make beach totes for my grand children. The sand flows through the screening as well as anything wet. Screening is tough and stands up well to toddlers dragging it around with beach toys.

I had a difficult time installing it on my screen door since I have "pet screen" which is thicker than regular screen, so I needed to return it. It is made out of hard plastic. If you ordered the small size and you have a sturdy cat, I think they could push it open.

The rice paper is very fragile. On the other hand, I have moved it a handful of times trying to get the screen in an aesthetically pleasing position and it's held up pretty well. Cats have a mind of there own though. Hope this helps.

They are all screened. It's somewhat sturdy but I don't know how durable it would be if your cats decided to cling on. The cage itself is very lightweight so I'd be careful if you elevated it.

My cats love this climber too much too. They use it sooo much they have thrashed one of the bottom posts too. Im considering just buying some sisca rope to staple gun around the eye sore part of it.

A level surface like a hardwood floor would be a great place for the screen. Stability will be determined by how you fold the panels. If you bunch them closer together the screen is heavy enough to withstand a little wind; however, the more you stretch them out the more the more unstable it be comes. We purchased two and folded them closer together to make them more stable. They are better than we expected. Since the are heavier than most of the others that we tried, we believe that they are more stable and durable.

I have two and they work/balance very well on my carpeting. Love these screens!

I don't have a cat, but i would say yes it's durable enough. As long as you secure the screen properly in the window. Good luck!

I can't vouch for how well it will hold up against a big dog, but my cats have scratched at it and climbed on it and they haven't been able to even dent the screening. I would give it a try if I were you. I recommend that you go with narrow spline because this screening is thicker than standard screening, so you have to work a bit to get the spline into the frame. I installed mine 14 months ago and it looks as good as new.

I have 2 cats that have punctured my standard metal screens with their nails. These screens have been excellent in terms of not getting holes from the cat nails-and my cats sure try!

My cat, Gray tabby, is tall and weighs 12lbs. He has room to turn around and plenty of width. He does' t move that much in it. I think he enjoys looking out the 'Windows' and also feels secure. Hope this comment helps you.
