My mother is worried about my cat puncturing it with her claws. Would that be something to worry about or no? Is that something that would happen?

Yes - this is a real possibility because it's made of plastic. It does come with a patch, but anything that is plastic can be punctured.

It's a very thick rubber. Of course a scratching post nearby might solve the issue.

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

You are correct about the glue and the cat's fur. We had our vet put on the claws for our cat. We did not want to mess it up and make it uncomfortable for our cat. Our cat's claws stayed on for a while and they became a little uncomfortable for her. We ended up having the vet take them off. Good luck.hope this helps.

This is an open weave fabric, which leads me to believe that the cat's claws may get caught in it. It would probably also look unsightly after the first use. I would recommend using a carpet remnant pie e or wrap the pole with thick sisal rope. That would be more durable and cat friendly.

I would say cats with claws would ruin this chair. If I were you I would look for the faux-leather type chair.

Our cat has attempted to use the mesh as a scratching post several times and, he launches himself off the top (to jump over it frequently). Although both things annoy me greatly, I have yet to see any damage as a result.

I've had this cat for only 10 days or so. cannot advise specifically. clipping can be dangerous if not done properly. amazon has these rubber tips to put on the nails. I provide the scratch lounger to file them down. if you really think clipping is necessary, maybe a visit to vet.

Maybe catnip? I don't know and took it off so they could play with on the floor. I was concerned they might get a claw stuck on it when playing and I might not be there to help them.

Probably not. It's just sturdy rubber. If your cats claws make it to the back of your hand you are screwed. And you really give your cat a bath?

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

No problem here. We love it. Ours, only if someone hits it, our cat does sometimes.

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.

I would guess cat claws would tear it, but that is only a guess. I use it for my 35 pound dog, and it works great for him, but I'm not sure about cats, since I don't have any.

I personally don't have any animals in my home but it seems to me that a cat could tear the material with their claws.

Not likely. Mine has some cat claw marks in it that are there to stay, it appears.

Yes. Absolutely. I trimmed my cat's front claws and we have had no problems though. I think the rabbit likes it now actually.

I did 2 things - first I rubbed it on all 4 sides with my cats favorite catnip & second my cat is very possessive of things she thinks are hers so anytime she was close by I scratched the post. I started making the scratching noise & she couldn't resist joining in and swatting at my hand. Hope this helps - good luck

I wouldn't think so. My cat has his claws but simply jumps from level to level, never using his claws except when he wants to scratch them on the posts.
