good for cats? Mine have nails and go out only to the vets, one at a time, so not happy. How strong is netting on front and sides?

Great for taking a cat to the vet. Depending on how your cat feels about things and how the weather is, you can roll covers down over the windows, which is a nice option to give them a bit more shelter. Plenty sturdy. I've used it to take cats to our vet many times by now, only one cat at a time as it's rather small as strollers go (and my cats are large). Always get nice comments on the stroller when I'm at the vet and the cats seem to feel safer inside it than outside of it.

Absolutely good for cats.....now how your cat takes to it, that's separate item!! Netting is strong...

The netting is very strong. My ferrets have strong nails and like to scratch at the netting, they climb in it themselves. So far it has held up wonderfully.

The netting is pretty strong and sturdy. It should hold up just fine for the average unhappy cat. My cat is the type that will try to claw his way out of the carrier the entire way to the vet, but for some reason he does just fine in the stroller. If a cat clawed at the material over a long period of time it would probably begin to rip, but it really is pretty durable.

One of my cats bit most of them off. I think these are great for cats purely on a case by case basis. I think some cats are neurotic and won't allow their precious nails to be suffocated. . Others don't notice. But who knows? Maybe after a while of using the caps your cat will adjust to them and they will stop caring.

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

My cats both have front claws, but I don't believe it would be a problem if you're referring to possible difficulty getting to the top without them [front claws]. Both of my cats are 20 lbs and the can easily jump from tier to tier without having to use their claws. Hope this helps! :)

I would never underestimate the will of a cat- but I would suspect this would hold pretty well, its a wide cut of velcro and the angle of the pull would make it more difficult. My cat was under 10 lbs when I was using it- so there is that- but he was a very excitable maine coon- so thats gotta count for something:)

Right now I can't answer this, but I do intend to write a review and keep it updated. A friend helped screen in our front deck a couple of weeks ago, and a big part of the reason we did it was so that we could let the cats onto the deck for some fresh air. Oddly enough, though, they haven't attempted to climb it yet and they were absolute demons about wrecking the screen in the patio door. This stuff is incredibly strong and I don't really have a problem with the visibility either; it seems fine to me.

They are wonderful for cats! That's the only animal I use it on. :) I just make sure I don't cut close to the pink area and they're fine. They have a 'safe guard' on them so that helps when you're clipping. I really like this product.

The stuff is strong enough to hold up to kitty claws, but the support wires are weak and so if any cat or kitten jumps on it from the outside that part will collapse. The bottom is canvas but it is not zipped and it's held on by velcro tabs. My kitten was able to figure out how to get out of it after one day.

Hi, I can't answer that question, I don't know your cats condition. There is a ramp, but my cats always climb on the side and don't use it.

It varies. I've had some last longer than a month, and others not as much. It depends a lot of whether your cat tries to pull them off, their activity level, and their nail's growth rate. (Make sure to trim them first!)

I put them on all her front claws about 2 months ago and have had to replace 4 so far, they sporadically fall off while the nail grows and she tries to scratch. You just replace them as they come off. So far I would say they last about a month depending on your cats needing/scratching habits

Our cat is de-clawed on the front paws. I believe the mesh is strong enough. Our cat has learned to open the zipper with his teeth however,

It's pretty sturdy, but accidents can happen, especially if nails are not trimmed. Because I wasn't very diligent with the nail trimming, my cat ended up puncturing it, but he wore it for 4 months or so before that happened. His wounds wouldn't heal this time; plus he could reach the lower part of his hind legs. I'm thinking of combining this with the clear plastic cone. There's a picture of a cat wearing it, so it appears to fit well. I tried the soft cone, but it was too big for my poor cat. His peripheral vision was shot, and he was miserable. Didn't want to move at all. 'Hope this helps.

I did try a net of the same material to keep my cats in a certain perimeter, one of them figured out how to rip holes with her teeth. None of my cats have ever got stuck in it though, not even close.

It is a pretty good cover - it wraps all the way around. Both of my kitties fell over sideways when I put it on the first time. Lol. They figured out they could still walk pretty quick tho. I think it might work for excessive grooming, although when I remove it, he tries to lick his back and shoulders, so yours might groom more when it's off. Good luck!

I adopted a shelter cat, and which was 7 years old. I have had him 3 years and have just been able to lightly touch her feet. (she not declawed) He also bit for first year or two. So I will not judge a person for not trying the nail clipping on a old cat like mine. The vet is answer. I also have 4-5 scratchers around the house, which he tears up on regular basis. My cat is a 25 lb main coon. He gets what he wants...lol

Yes. I would say this is strong enough for small kittens. As I've mentioned in another post on this item, I recommend replacing the wooden door stops with latches if you really intend to KEEP something inside and not escape. I also added a wire mesh bottom to mine (comes open). I tried keeping my rabbits in it on dirt without the wire mesh, and they dug under and out the very first night.
