I was wondering, is this TV cat-proof? I do not want to invest my thousands into a TV if my 30 cats will just destroy it.

With the built in Wi-Fi you can download pictures of cats. Your felines will worship the gigantic Siamese displayed in crisp, vivid cat-vision color.

Your cats will be highly offended by the presence of this electronic monstrosity with which you have polluted their once-peaceful abode. The only ones who won't leave home are the ones who can't. In any mega-multi-cat household, there are always a few who are either being starved of who have been crushed by the others. When you discover who they are, get them some veterinary care. Then they will be able to freely make the decision to go or stay. Cats do not like to have to vie for your attention, and your new jumbo-tron will be too much for them.

This TV is certified to meet all cat-proof standards, including being chewed on by an extra-large tiger. In fact, it doubles as an indestructible scratching post and litter box.

It won't matter because you will need to find a hoarder free area of the house to actually fit the TV, which won't happen if you have 30 cats.

Just buy a very nasty dog to keep those cats in line. By day three your cats will have re-trained the nasty dog, but they will be far too interested in making sure he sticks to his training to worry about your new, awesome TV.If that doesn't work then you need to listen to Jackson Galaxy and build your herd a catio to keep them entertained. Why haven't you already built one? Do you not love your cats? You are obviously a bad pet parent. Shame on you!

Dont worry. I was told this beast will nuke cats/dogs with its watts produced once it is ON!

The only documented incident where a cat of any type attacked this TV was when it was in aquarium mode. The cat jumped at the screen. The TV, sensing the motion, immediately turned itself to the shark channel. The cat stopped in mid-air and was cat-a-pulted directly into the ceiling of the room, where it still holds onto the ceiling with it's claws and has it's head buried into the ceiling. This is how #AtticCat was created.

Yes! Love it!! It's exactly why I bought it. 2 pieces of advice: buy extra batteries. They are special batteries and you want a fresh one when the old dies. And don't forget and accidentally carry a cat in the room....110% buy it.

So do you think it's worth extra $$$? I don't know much about electronics so I wonder whether it's worth it for me or not to spend more and whether I would actually use the extra features. Does the extra cable card slot mean I would not have to use the cable box but rather be able to plug the cable wire straight to the TV and use it directly?Thank you.

I just mounted mine last week using the Cheetah bracket designed for 32-55-inch TVs -- available on Amazon for only $25 (http://www.amazon.com/Cheetah-APTMSB-Designed-Actually-Includes/dp/B001GTTEBK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1353967252&sr;=8-1&key;words=cheetah+mounts+32+-65).It worked fine and looks great. The only 'slight' issue I had was that, because the TV has such a slim profile, not being able to access the "safety screws" on the bottom with a standard screwdriver. I had to go to the hardware store and find a Phillips with a super-long shaft on it to reach the screws. You definitely want to be able to tighten those so as to prevent accidental liftoff from the mount (if you do end up using that Cheetah mount).

Yes. I can think of a reason. It's poor construction! I had that same TV fall to the floor due to the plastic piece that attaches to the tv a d holds the cable. I would stay away!!!

Thanks for your answer, JD! I thought so. Oh, I saw it at Best Buy--I was SO impressed with it. I wasn't even thinking Samsung until I saw it. Samsung has really outdone themselves with this one, I think! I haven't even read of any major problems with it yet, so that's encouraging! Keep me updated and let me know if there are any little bugs with the TV.

Hello Ashley!Thank you for your inquiry. We do apologize, it looks like this is not cat proof. The seating may tear if your cat gets its claws into it. We do apologize. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

Can you tell me what exactly worked? I just started looking into buying this television and am not following your blog. It would make me crazy if I had this problem because I've always had it with my Toshiba Plasma, which I'm replacing.

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.

Hi K. Davis, This is the toughest screen I have ever seen, better than anything in any of the big box stores... i.e., Menard's, Home Depot... However, I also have had cats and I cannot guarantee it will make it through your cats wrath. I also don't think it would block micro-bugs. It would block an ant though (if that helps).

Tv's just aren't made to run like computers. However, I use mine and I don't have any issues with its performance. It's runs just like I expected a tv should.

Laura K. I searched for an answer to no avail. I would steer clear of it. PS Cats don't really need fish.

My cat doesn't scratch on the carpet, so I'm not sure how it would hold up against a cat's claws. But it seems to be pretty decent; like cheap carpet you would find in an apartment. :) As others have said, the whole unit is so well made and sturdy, it would be worth re-carpeting it if the carpet wore out, in my opinion.

Mine's still intact because my cat's have no interest in it! The younger one batted at it a few times, then lost interest. What they do use is the cardboard cat scratcher that can be a bed. Very inexpensive and lasts a long time. One uses it all the time, takes naps in it, and doesn't scratch the furniture.The toys they like take human interaction, like the fishing pole with feathers on the end of the line, that you dangle in front of the cat. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful re: your query.

Depends on your cat. We have two, and as soon as they are on, they go to work at pulling them off. I try to replace them as soon as I find one is off (you'll find them all over the house so you can resuse them). My hope is they will get accustomed to them and leave them alone but so far no luck. Problem is, I am unaware of any other solution to stop cats from tearing up furniture.

Unfreaking believable! The UPS guy came this morning and I had to help him get the TV to my apt (second floor). I work midshifts so I had to get some sleep. I got up this evening and opened it all up...............The screen is completly destroyed! Not the outside glass, but the part behind that is destroyed and in pieces. I video taped the whole unwrapping process so I hope they don't give me any problems in returning it (remember, this is through 6ave). I have had the worst luck with this whole process. I swear it looks like someone threw the tv down the stairs. :( To add insult to injury, Amazon now has it for $150 less than I purchased it; on amazon. Unfreaking believable!

I have a set-up similar to yours. I currently have a 29" Vizio LCD and have had no problems. My only concern has been if the LCD can survive winter weather (I live in NC and have mild winters) so if the tempature gets below freezing for a few days I dismount the TV and take it inside to be safe. Suggest you check the operating tempature range on whatever you buy and be careful in the extremes. But after 2 years the Vizio is doing fine, as did the TV I replaced for 4 years. Go for it.
