Can cats' claws puncture this? Our cats have been able to puncture air mattresses with no problem.

I don't have cats, but with my experience, the durability of this product is highly suspect, since the first and also the replacement were both defective, so i wouldn't advise cats at all. Well... on any air mattress.

definitely yes. My cats have punctured my air mattresses before & this feels no stronger. I wouldn't use it with cats.

probably could happen, but it is pretty thick, I have a cat who tries to scratch at it here and there and it's fine so far.... FYI the couch does come with repair patches in case it happens, for the price it's worth the risk for me ... it's sort of a fabric topping on the surface so it's sturdier than I thought it would be

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! :)

My cat seems to jump to get up to a lot of places and she has not trouble getting anywhere. I think the recommendation is to just use them on the front claws that they scratch a lot with. They will still use scratching posts often.

Hmmm, that's not easy to know. Depends on how big your cat's claws are. I have a large male cat (now declawed) who's claws were so big they probably could have punctured a car tire. But my dainty little girl cat's claws are much smaller, and for a cat like that the quilted cover probably would be adequate protection.I can tell you that the cover is NOT very thick, not even as thick as an inexpensive mattress cover. But, it might be worth a try. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I don't think an animal could puncture it. It might get scratched and not look great. It is pretty strong.

I am not a vet, but from what I can tell the cats claws aren't truly extended. My cats have been wearing these for several months now, and they don't seem to cause any harm. The cats do try to pull at the covers for the first hour or so after the initial application, but then they forget about them. They run, play, climb, and claw at their scratching posts the same way as without the covers. I think that the claw may grow out a bit, allowing the claw to retract in, fairly rapidly. On my cats, the soft claw covers only the first 2/3 of the claw even when they are freshly applied.

It would probably work fine. But to be honest, I would rather just clip. My cats would not hold still for that. My male cat, I can clip all his claws in a minute flat without another person even holding him. Even if he tolerated the sound and feeling of the pedipaws, it would take longer.

I had a dog sleep with me just about every night I was concerned too but nothing happened although for a cat it would have to depend bcuz the fabric is surprisingly sturdy and tough but cats are more prone to dig their claws into things... Mmm it should be fine if there is a blanket over it when the cats on it

Your cat may try to and depending on how firm you have it around them and/or aggressive they are, they may eventually get to it by pushing onto something else but not with their paws. Always good to try as they do prefer this over the cone undoubtedly and you can always return it as amazon has awesome return policy

They can, but they may not. One of my 4 cats does and her little belly hangs down a bit but she is obviously comfy. My tower has held up well and has been really flexible. Sometimes we split it up and put different sections in different rooms.

Yes it can but it honestly depends on if the cat has nails and how good of a climber he or she is. I hope this was able to answer your question.

I dont know for sure, our cat is an indoor kitty. I would be almost certain that these Soft Claws would hinder any emergency climbing quite a bit.

If your cat has claws, I don't think it will hold up. I have had mine for a long time now, but I am also ensuring there is nothing sharp coming in contact with it.

No def not. Very fragile and tempremental.Although a good idea to find your cat, this product actually is bad, and I would not reccomend 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

Claws or no claws I don't see it being an issue. When my cats are chasing each other and one darts up the tree, momentum's getting her up there. Also, the tree has tiers so the cats can jump from one base to the other. Keep in mind, if a cat wants to get somewhere they will make it happen, claws or no claws:) If you're too hesitant you could always email the company or call a vet, but I think you would be fine.

Cats can climb pretty much anything. My cat uses it. He loves the middle perch the most. The dangling mouse actually lasted longer than I thought. But overall very durable, def worth the buy!!
