how do they hold up to cats with claws?

Probably not so well if they do any clawing our scratching. That being said, we used one for years camping with our 60 lb dog walking across and sleeping on the bed with us. And we used it occasionally at home where our 3 cats laid on it. Ultimately it wore out (small tears at the seams) before the pets got to it. The mattress is well made...and keeping bedding on it may help protect it while in use.

My guess is that it would not hold up well to cat claws. It is a bit silky on the top.

My cat seems to jump to get up to a lot of places and she has not trouble getting anywhere. I think the recommendation is to just use them on the front claws that they scratch a lot with. They will still use scratching posts often.

Yes the claws work really well. I bot a new headboard and needed to attach it to my old king bed frame. No issues thanks

Claws or no claws I don't see it being an issue. When my cats are chasing each other and one darts up the tree, momentum's getting her up there. Also, the tree has tiers so the cats can jump from one base to the other. Keep in mind, if a cat wants to get somewhere they will make it happen, claws or no claws:) If you're too hesitant you could always email the company or call a vet, but I think you would be fine.

I have cats it holds up to the clawing they do but a dog does a different type of damage. A dog may be able to push it loose but that us more about how the door secures the screen. Works great for cats.

My cats don't use their claws. They jump from level to level. The levels are actually close together and work like stars, despite how it looks in the photo.

They are pretty durable unless you have a cat that likes to chew. Although I wouldn't buy from this seller after my last experience.

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.

No, the material is claw-proof. There is window screen material that is also scratch proof. It works the same way. I have 2 cats and they safely stay and play inside using their claws without any harm to the fabric.

It's possible. My cat isn't a clawer so we haven't had issues but I can imagine a cat could claw through it.

My cats are declawed in the front but have the rear claws. We never had an issue. Unless your cats' claws are long, it shouldn't be an issue.

Yes, I use them on my cats and on my rabbits who have thicker claws than the cats.

They are more for dogs with thick nails. I use them for my 65lb dog. But I dont see why you cant use them on your cat, this will probably last you forever.

Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts. I might cover the bottom with soft blankets or something just in case they fall from the top (if they are climbers.) Some cats prefer different materials, but any cat can be trained not to scratch things as long as they have something they can. They do make kitten claw covers (soft paws, I think.) You have to trim the nails, then you basically glue these caps onto their nails. They should last until the claw's sheath comes off, which is natural. The time that takes can vary. I heard they usually last about a month. Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts.

My cats love it. Maybe they need their claws trimmed. Make sure they have a place to really scratch like a rope covener cat scratcher that will help to keep them trimmed as well.
