Would a cat ruin the wicker if he were to scratch on it?

Unfortunately, I have yet to find a hamper that is cat proof. it did, however, take my cat longer than normal to pull any strands out of this one. even with my dumb cat, it still looks good.

Absolutely not! scratching is "their thing". Cats scratch when they are happy. It's in their genes. It's natural. One of my rescue cats is declawed and he still scratches on the post.

Not sure that would work because it appears to be the pet's weight that triggers it, since as soon as they step on it the alarm sounds. Just scratching probably wouldn't be enough to trigger. As I think about it, however, you could place it on the floor beneath the end of the sofa so that the cat had to step on it to get to the scratching point. Just avoid stepping on it yourself because it will startle you. Good luck

I suppose so unless they are extremely aggressive. It is made of what seems to be a strong fabric. I expect if you locked a cat in it the cat would eventually rip a hole in it.

I'm not sure how you would do that. There is hardware provided for mounting it to a wall (screws etc) but I'm not sure how that would work on a couch. Also, seems like it would damage the couch as much/more than the cat scratching on it!

Cats scratch to mark their territory and relieve stress, so they still need a place to do that, claws or not. You at least want to keep one post. And you also don't want to find out that a claw cover has fallen off by having your furniture ruined.

If kitties like to scratch I believe they may damage this screen quite easily. Try a solid screen.

We do not have pets and have no experience with cats. The material is similar to a high quality air mattress. It is hard to imagine that it can be punctured inadvertantly.

Maybe a kitten's paw could slide in there but I doubt it could do any damage because the slots are too narrow. But a full grown cat wouldn't be able to slip a paw in there.

I'm not sure about that since I don't have a cat but I would think probably not if the cat claws it over and over.

Our cat walks on this all the time and we have had no problems. She does not scratch the furniture much so I don't know how affective it is against that. The material is a bit slippery (but stays in place due to the straps) so it may resist a scratching cat.

no, if the cat is outside it might get caught on something and the cat would be stuck there.

Hmmm... possibly, especially if the cat likes to stretch upwards to scratch. My experience has been that it's very hard to tell what a cat will do on any given day! Best wishes!

It would not be cat-scratch proof. It is covered in material that would be very easy to be picked by cat claws.

These screens are usually very light weight - a determined adult cat could push it over by deciding to scratch on it if the screen is open to a fairly flat angle (e.g., the angle shown in the picture). Speaking from experience, here...

I really don't think anything will keep cats from scratching on whatever is in the house, but Oliver seems to be using this scratching post more often and my chair and door facings a lot less. He uses this post a lot more than the cat tree covered in carpet. Since he totally destroyed the small patch of sisel on that tree I figured he like the texture so I purchased this post. Don't know about your cats, but he is choosing this post over other things in the house now. Good luck on whaterver you decide to do about your cats' scratching.

It's like microfiber/velvet. I haven't had any issues with my cat scratching the chair, but he's not big on scratching human furniture anyways.
