How is this item for cats that do not have front claws?

I think it would be excellent because the platforms are spaced well for jumping. Kitties wouldn't need claws to get up on out and enjoy the perches.

My cats both have front claws, but I don't believe it would be a problem if you're referring to possible difficulty getting to the top without them [front claws]. Both of my cats are 20 lbs and the can easily jump from tier to tier without having to use their claws. Hope this helps! :)

Probably not good. My previous cat was also a persian whose previous owner had her front declawed. She wasn't a very good climber which I think was due to her not having front claws. I would not recommend this piece of furniture for her. I don't know if this answers this question for you but I hope it helps.

Even if they don't have front claws they should still be able to jump up on the different levels. They won't have any need for the scratching posts but should still love jumping,climbing and sitting on it.

Both of my cats are declawed and they do not have any issues. They love the stand

Probably fine. Clawless cats can still use the posts to stretch. Each tier is easy to access by jumping with minimal effort for many cats, barring age or physical limitations. If your cats are adventurous or daring and try to jump up two tiers instead of stair-stepping, they may get frustrated with their inability to claw their way to the top, but that would be the least of their upsets.

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

Unfortunately my cat is a rescue and he was declawed. He does use the top and crawls into the bottom. He is 15 lbs.

I use mine for my Bearded Dragon. He is huge (almost 2 lbs. 22 inches long) he has sharp claws and it has never torn, even though he climbs to the top sometimes. I don't know much about ferret claws, but I don't think a puppy or cat could claw through it. One thing I will say about this, I bought one that was less expensive and the zippers were terrible. The zippers on this one are fantastic. They don't stick and they have never come undone even with the amount of zipping I do.

This may not work well for your one cat since it is declawed. They need to grab onto the small platform and pull themselves up.

It's some sort of fabric that looks like it would shred eventually. It's not plastic or anything. If they have claws, they could claw it. Truthfully, it didn't last long enough for them to do any damage. A piece of junk.

It has held up well given that our two cats have all their claws. Just be aware the bottoms of the shelves are not covered. Also the directions were very vague and it took some time to figure out. You need to measure the length of the parts to figure what goes where. Other than that I would still purchase it again.

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.

My cat only has back claws but she just loves to be in it. So far no problems with the screens.

I would say that it is, but I am no feline orthopod... My cats don't seem to use their claws as much as the pads of their feet when they grab the kibbles out and eat. And you can fill it up with more food to make it a little easier to get, I suppose.

We have cats and their claws will scratch the leather I know. We cover them with blankets when not using them.

I agree with the others. If it is a kitten, get small. Medium size cats, medium and large for big kitties. All three of my cats claws use the medium even though there is a slight difference in their sizes. This item has been a furniture and wall saver in my house and my cats don't mind their nails trimmed and them (soft claws) being put on as it only takes just a few minutes.

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.

Not that I'm aware of. My cats haven't damaged the cover yet and they have full untrimmed sharp claws.

I had a declawed cat who could climb trees. Only the front claws are removed, they still keep their back claws and they can use those to climb.
