Does anyone think this might be cat-resistant? We've got a new pool cage and want to allow our cat in the outside area it surrounds. Thanks!

In terms of tear/rip resistance I would say yes, it should be more than strong enough to keep a cat from clawing through it. I'm not sure what you mean by "pool cage" but how well it would work to create an enclosure for a cat depends very much on how you use it and your cat.

Based on the material, I would think that it would hold up nicely with a cat. It is very difficult to rip or tear and the squares are rather small.

Yes your cat will be very safe and will not be able to escape, has a clip down on outside so you cat will be unable to open it from in side.

I love this fence! Have it around the pool. It's got a tight weave, but it has grommets on the bottom, so not use if it would keep pests out.

I wish they would answer this question. All of my outdoor houses have a second opening. I like this but would be worried if my cat was trapped so I will skip this product. We have racoons here and they can get into any space so be trapped by a predator is a real concern.

No - good cage for a cat, except we cannot figure how to take it apart. Either it was put together incorrectly or there is a serious design flaw. I would suggest putting something solid along any cage's sides (maybe 12 inches - just to be safe for the kittens tiny paws). Thankyou for helping with the babies . Pat

Hello Kevin, I just measured my Richell plastic paneled fence. The gaps are 1 1/2 inches wide. I bought it to use on my enclosed patio to protect my old cat from energetic dogs. The gaps are way too narrow to be any risk to my cat....I wouldn't think even a kitten could get their head through a 1 1/2 opening. Hope that was helpful? FYI? I have both the plastic fencing for outside, AND the very pretty, (also more spendy) wood & wire version inside the house. Fabulous product.

I just put pet screen on my new screened porch. This screen is pet proof and having your cat climb on it will not hurt it. The builders that installed this screen showed me a picture of his dog climbing up the screen and that was proof for me. As far as ( no-see-ums ) I am from the south also and I haven't had the screen up that long so can't answer that one for you. I do know that the holes are very small and may deter them from getting in but I guess we'll find out next summer.

My two Maine coons were fine in the tent and tunnel, especially the indoor female. The male who is allowed outside around our house tried for a while to find a way out. The enclosures were easy to store in our small trailer on a road trip and were so easy to set up and take down...However, our cats do NOT have front claws! Kittens with their energy and love of climbing might rip the netting. Our cats are older, too. (The female is 5 years old and the male 10.)

It depends on the cat. A real feral cat might want to see what might be approaching. Try facing the Tube away from the wind or putting it in a sheltered spot. I think as long as there is a good escape path the barrier would be fine. Good luck

I would not. Its thin glass. It already bends at the middle from the weight of the glass itself. So I would leave this for you to figure it out. And do yourself a favor and train your cat to stay off the aquarium lest your fish get electrocuted or eaten.

I let my cat play with mine (supervised.) he loves it. The hard plastic doesn't appeal to him so he doesn't chew it but when it gets stuck in the heater vent he will pull it out gently by one of its legs with his teeth. The legs feel secure enough that I don't worry about him breaking one off.

Not cat proof. I think a cat could easily perforate the plastic as it isn't very thick. Without plastic, they could easily climb and lay on it.

I'm in a rescue group and we got some "bird cage covers" -- they are washable cotton type with "ties" and you can put them around the cat condos. They come in different sizes so you may ck that out.

Yes, it's pretty cat-proof. I had that problem with our old tank - had to tape the top on to keep the cats out. They've never been able to get into this one.

The net is not that strong. I would not trust it to keep a cat inside. Cats could also use their paws to possibly climb the netting.

It's not. Gerbils can poke their noses through the slots, which can be potentially dangerous.I ziptied plastic mesh canvas to the unprotected areas which worked fine to protect against the cat, but the gerbils like to chew on it through the cage.

Had that problem with another one of these foldable cages. Did the plywood but it did not take cat claws long to get splinters :-( So, I went to Lowes and bought one plank of that plastic decking and cut to size. Screwed in metal L brackets and I was in business. I went one step further and made one big ledge that covered the whole cage in the middle and cut a hole big enough for them to jump through. The planking is that sturdy! This allows a much bigger lounging ledge.
