Can a cat claw through the screens of this pet stroller/carrier? Also is there sufficient amount of air that can flow freely thru the mesh screens?

I have use the carrier for my two kittens and they have not tried to get out. That's because I open the front flap and they can see everything going on. I would agree that it really depends on the cat. The air flow is sufficient with either both ends opened or the front flap open.

I've only used it once so far, my two are declawed, but it seems durable - I mainly purchased mine for taking them to the vet in the same carrier without too much grief (I live in an apartment without a garage, so it is not really feasible for me to put them into two separate carriers and make two trips to the car) - I love how it folds down when not in use so I can store it easily

I don't know I'd a cast can claw thru the mesh. . Guess it depends on the cat. I think that there is sufficient air flow if all the flaps are open. I haven't used it yet. . .so I'm just going by how it looks and my cats are declared so clawing isn't an issue.

The netting is pretty strong and sturdy. It should hold up just fine for the average unhappy cat. My cat is the type that will try to claw his way out of the carrier the entire way to the vet, but for some reason he does just fine in the stroller. If a cat clawed at the material over a long period of time it would probably begin to rip, but it really is pretty durable.

Probably not. I like it as it always my dogs to go in and out without any help. Do not have cats but see no problem with them getting around the screen door.

Yes the cat is very safe - it has a zipper screened area all around it. It's almost just like a cat carrier on wheelsMy cat does not like being outside due to an accident when he was little and he doesn't even try to get out - good buy for the money!!

I don't have cats, but our daughter has a small dog (10 lbs) and she is able to go through the door just fine. It just has a magnetic strip attached to the rubber/plastic door.

I have three cats that ride in the stroller (individually) and they have not escaped. I made sure they were very familiar with the stroller by letting them get in it and sleep. A few days later, we went for a stroll and there were no problems. They enjoy their rides. I also bought the wind/rain proof cover since it is rather windy in the spring where I live. They each take turns sleeping on the top during the day and night. One will be on top and one inside and the other looking wistfully on. In good weather I park it in the walled in backyard, and they jump in a sleep. I would buy this model again with no hesitation.

We have 2 cats and have had no problems at all. The unit weighs a ton so there is no way they can get under it. However, if they are scratchers you might be concerned about the screens as they go all the way to the floor.

We have four cats. We put our 16 pound and 7 pound in one and our 11 pound and 8 pound in another. The stroller hold the weight well.The only problem we had is that the big guy got anxious to get out one day (unusual - they usually remain calm when in it and sometimes take a nap in it when not riding.) and clawed through part of the thin material that makes up the solid cover part of the stroller compartments. That material needs to be thicker. I pieced it back together with duct tape, needle and thread and it still works fine.

The tent is very sturdy and won't rip. The only issue I had was that my kitty was able to paw and push his little head through the place where the zipper closes and escape. The solution was easy, I tie the zipper (there is a hole at the end of it) to one of the loops on the enclosure so he can't do it. But it would be impossible for the cat to claw through the tent mesh. I've had them in it daily for several months without a rip.

If your cats get carsick, they will likely get sick in the stroller. It doesn't seem hard to clean, but I recently spilled some water with juice mixed in onto the top...my container was leaky. It made the fabric sticky and it was not easy to rinse out the cleanser I used, so that might be awkward. Also, because the screen is kind of flimsy, your cats may claw it and get stuck in in. Are you sure you want a stroller for them?

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.

I have four cats and used my stroller for about a year. I live in the country so dirt roads and take my cats all the time. I've never had an issue with the wheels. The front wheels rotate and the back are fixed and have brakes. I love this stroller as it allows my cats to see out the front the top and I can cover the top with the flap and throw a blanket over the front if need be. I wouldn't recommend it for cats that are use their claws a lot as they will rip the mesh.

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.

There are no handles on the "carriers". My deaf cats (I have 5!) absolutely LOVE going for walks in this stroller and follow me around the house as I wheel it to the door. 2 of my cats are BIG( 16 pounds+) and it is a handful just to try and get the stroller down 3 steps out of my front door. Unless your kitties are itty bitty, I would recommend you start working out with weights and work on your balance!:-) Make no mistake, I love this stroller almost as much as my kitty krewe, but I wish the carriers came apart and came back together more easily like I imagine a human infant stroller might do.

We have 3 cats and the screen is amazing (no holes or stretching). It is well worth the extra cost!!!! We had a few gnats to come in but that might have been because of a small gap under the screen door. The companies clams are true.

We do not have pets and have no experience with cats. The material is similar to a high quality air mattress. It is hard to imagine that it can be punctured inadvertantly.
