would you recommend this for a large cat..like a main coon or a ragdoll? I am worried about the nails getting stuck in the mesh.....

It has plenty of room and it's very sturdy. The mesh netting is pretty thick, but cats can jump so it might wind up jumping out of it. It is collapsible and folds down and can fit in a carrying case or under a bed/sofa so the cat could push on it and get over the top. There is a covering you can zip on it, but I haven't used that yet so I don't know how well is will work.

Hello, I very much like this pen, but my pups do get their nails caught in the mesh of the door, I clipped the nails and it solved the problem for the most part.

we have kept our puppy in it since we got her she was eight weeks old and is now nine months old. she loves it and we have never had a problem but she is not a cat and does not claw or scratch. we have her bed and poddy pad and toys in there with lots of room

We took our 2 cats on a trip to a rental cabin and had one of these for each cat. There was room for their litter box, food and water bowls. They didn't mind staying in them at all. My oldest cat weighs 18 lbs. It depends on the personality of your cat.

My cat did get her nails stuck in the mesh a couple times. After two or three times getting stuck (and being able to release herself) she learned not to scratch it anymore. I would recommend putting a towel or something for her/him to claw at instead of the mesh, once they learn better.

I would not use this for any animal except a dog that does not dig or scratch. Yes, the nails will get caught in the mesh and the floor is not zippered, it is held in place with several small velcro strips.

Hi! My cat is also 10lbs but I don't consider her fat lol! She's a perfect size. Maybe your kitty is a little bigger :) I just used my carrier last week to take my cat to get her nails clipped and it worked perfect for the short ride we needed to take. It's great because the cat can see out on 3 sides. It's perfect for us:)

I use mine for my Westie (probably larger than your cat) and for my chahuahua (the only way I can trim her nails). If you cat falls somewhere between these two size dogs, you can probably us it. Good luck -- my cat would freak out!

I imagine that a cat who is stressed and wants to get out might eventually rip through the mesh. I have never experienced any damage to it. But I must say that I generally remain in the vicinity of the 'funhouse', especially so while the cat gets used to it.

Hi, I respectfully disagree that this particular model is large enough for an 18 lb. cat. I mentioned in my review that I had a previous (much larger) tunnel and when I ordered this one I didn't think about the diameter of it. My 12 pound kitty wants so badly to play in it but is just too big. I would go up to a larger size (depending on the size of your cat). Hope this helps. Good luck!

Yes, absolutely. My cat was nine pounds with her claws and there was no problems at all. This thing is genius.

Maybe a small dog that isn't too rough. My largest cat is 15 pounds and he has no problem using it.

I would not recommend this product for cutting your dogs large claws. Its very difficult to cut cats thin claws with let alone a dogs!! I would suggest you use proper dogs nail cutters. You may wish to ask your vet for the best ones to use or you could ask your vet to cut them for you.

It's way too big for a cat - I would check and see if they have a smaller version. I would be worried they would hurt themselves trying to get the food out.

you need the large. My daughter's cat's weigh around 10 pounds and use the large; it is easier to put them on after trimming the cat's nails and the glue holds better with a larger surface to glue.

Honestly no. My cats are 8 pounders, and the pedastal is a little wobbly. Also 12 gug is going to be a little taller and longer, SK the scratch post rope is going to be narrow, it is for my cats. The other one j looked at and wish I would have bought was armakat b5701 57 inch cat tree. Notice that the rope on the posts runs full length. And on the pic it looks like a big cat can stretch out fully on the right and use either of the levels of scratch posts....

I don't think you can go wrong with size. I buy the large cat furminator and use it on all 4 of my cats ranging from small to large and I use it on my extra large dog (over 100lbs), they all have different hair types and it works Great on all of them. If it is just for your small tabby than maybe go with the small, you really can't go wrong. You will love this!

The size would be good for your cat. My cat is declawed but I would say that if your cat is temperamental he could eventually claw through the net but I doubt that anyone would be that close to get hurt if it was just a random paw swipe.

That cat is big. I have a 20lb cat that has no issues. I would leave out the inner wall so you can put a large littler box in there.

I have a cat that likes to climb and I have put a drape cloth over my chair, just to be safe, but I haven't found any where her claws have penetrated yet. Not saying it won't happen, but I did put the old blanket over to be safe

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.

I adopted a shelter cat, and which was 7 years old. I have had him 3 years and have just been able to lightly touch her feet. (she not declawed) He also bit for first year or two. So I will not judge a person for not trying the nail clipping on a old cat like mine. The vet is answer. I also have 4-5 scratchers around the house, which he tears up on regular basis. My cat is a 25 lb main coon. He gets what he wants...lol
