Is it claw and/or chew proof? My escape artist cat does both?

It is not claw and/or chew proof, but this enclosure is surely made with very strong and durable material. Thanks!

The wire is absolutely secure for cats. I volunteer at a cat shelter and some cats, after months of play, will tear the mouse from the wire. Replacement mice are available and easy to attach. We have over 20 cats at the shelter and they LOVE this toy. Kittens especially go crazy for it. My cat is 13 years old and he doesn't like toys. After I tried this one he will play for a short time which is encouraging.

My cat walks on it (yes, she has claws, but they're clipped) and it doesn't seem to be a problem at least in the 3 weeks I've used it. Mostly she slides on it, so she really prefers to find another way around. I did have some concerns, but so far so good.

Haven't had a problem with that yet. My cat DOES have claws! I really like these!

I'm afraid I can't help with that, my cat has her claws. Hopefully someone else knows!

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.

The one I received was not breakaway, it is intended that you put it on loose enough that the cat can slip it off.

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,

The netting is made of a thicker rubbery plastic (not sure EXACTLY what), but it does seem to be fairly claw proof. One of my 2 cats absolutely hates being in any kind of kennel, and has tried in the past to bite and claw his way out. His mouth started bleeding (!!!) before he could do barely any damage to the sleepypod netting. I would be most worried about your cat scratching/ruining the fluffy lining before I would worry about the net. The lining is a faux fur, with what I suspect to be a layer of hard foam on the inside. My cats don't scratch at it, but it depends on how much your cat is "clawing". I think damage could be done.

Our cat has claws, so I am not sure. As a test, you could take an empty paper towel tube and cut a few holes in it, put in a treat or two, and see if your cat can get them. On the Cat Amazing Box, there is one hole where a cat just puts in his paw and slides the treat out level with the floor. The other holes (1 1/2 inches to 2 inches on average), the cat need to put in this paw and pull the treat up and out.

both! I have a LOT of cats anywhere from 6 months to 13 years.. and wish I had the knowledge to do a video, as they all lay with the paws stretched forth to the Turbo scratcher.......... and the "ball" in there lights up , when they EACH take a turn in making it go round the track It is hillarious, and I think this is the initiative to "sharpen" their claws, also. as when one does, they also take turns in this! Its a GREAT toy, play and also useful! OK, I see where you are also asking about the turbo track..... the turbo track I have it set up in such a way they take their naps inside the circle! otherwise, the turbo scratcher promotes more play! both!

It actually holds up pretty well as is. I haven't tried recovering it as I haven't needed to. My only issue with it, other than normal wear and tear (and it's holding up well to claws), is that my guy has started to bite it and rip pieces of it off on the side. I figure I have seven more ways to flip it until he's done destroying it.

Yes it is attached but unless the cats were declawed it would not be safe. The screen mesh is very soft and easily torn. I use it for animals outside but nothing I have has claws or chews. Otherwise is pretty much escape proof.

While I do believe the anti burst exercises ball is very sturdy, I really don't think there are any out there that would be able to withstand a puncture from a sharp object, i.e. cat claws, knife, etc. I used to have cats and could never imaging them getting anywhere near mine. If that's a potential issue you could always spray it with Febreze or something that the cats would not like to keep them away from it.

It has catnip in it and as soon as the cat barely paws it it squeaks causing them to play with it more. We got it for Tucker @ christmas and it is still working. He now will let it rest for a while but he still plays with it three or four times a day with gusto! Hope this answers ur question.

Agreed - he can't pull forward and rip out, but he is a mellow guy. If he were to have a typical cat spaz attack, I could see that, if he were facing me, he could squirm out. That is a cat thing - they can get out of a straightjacket if they are scared enough. This is the most secure thing short of a barred cage, and is better than a nylon harness

My cat chewed on the collar and it began to strangle her. By the time I found her she was cowering in the bathroom covered in blood and drool. She could not cry out for help. Thank God this happened while I was at home, otherwise she would have died. This collar does NOT breakaway as advertised.
