Are these screens durable enough to stop a cat(declawed) cat from knocking them out of place?

I don't have a cat, but i would say yes it's durable enough. As long as you secure the screen properly in the window. Good luck!

As long as the screen is secured in the window it is hard to knock it out of place. The cat would have to use a lot of force for that to happen.

If positioned within the window slide frame. They are bilt as strong as the ones you'd get from your local hardware store!

They are pretty lightweight. I bought them for my son who is renting an apartment in an older house that doesn't have screens. He seems satisfied. If you were to secure them in place somehow, it should withstand a kitty!

It has been sturdy enough to keep out squirrels. As for a cat, it will depend on how firmly it is fixed into its frame. If the fit is strong, it will take a fierce and tough cat to displace!

Just tested it and yes it will withstand the cats it is very sturdy, not like some cheap aluminum cans.

Very much so. I use mine to top an outside enclosure for my cats. I've had them there for literally years and they're still so strong I can't tear them with my bare hands and my cats can't break them either. They haven't rotted at all. Just gotten dusty.

Yes, it is sturdy enough that a cat would not tip it over, unless it's a really huge cat dropping onto it from above. If you're just talking about a cat hopping onto it from the desktop, no problem.

yes its no problem for a cat. just be careful they aren't the strongest, couple trips over them and they'll break.

No, not at all. We have 6 very active cats, two of them over 15 lbs. They all scratch and jump up on it and it's never toppled once, even when they are all running around playing together. It's a very sturdy item.

Yes, but with a caveat; the Velcro adhesive strips that are provided as one of the possible attachment methods (I have found using 2 of these seats) will more than likely fail and come loose. The cats that were using them when the strips came loose, were around 8lbs. I ended up having to use the other method of attachment with the provided 3 screws. This method is VERY secure as opposed to the Velcro strips, as long as you don't mind putting some small holes in your window sill.Regards,Kelly

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.

I would say she would pull it out of the frame itself before she would scratch through it. The way screens are held in place is not terribly secure. As for the screening itself... I would not trust it. I wish I had a better answer but my pets are cats.

More pet resistant than say a fiberglass screen, but definitely not as heavy as Pet-D-fence. If your cat is already a screen enthusiast, look for something heavier and use the largest diameter spline that will fit your frame.

I don't currently have a cat and don't know anything about Pet D-fence, but I think it is fairly certain that a cat would be able to climb up this stuff as the small squared openings in the screen fabric would make it easy for most cats to 'claw' their way up, and maybe even pull it down using their strength and/or weight.

I only have cats, they scratch the screen constantly but there is no evidence of that with this screen. Previous regular screens had holes with a couple of days. The weight of the dog may have a different effect.

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.

It's possible that an animal can get out through the bottom of this item. The bottom is sewn in such a way that it comes with rounded pipes. The pipes are ment to slide in this area to keep the screen in place at the bottom. A strong enough wind would allow the bottom to be lifted to provide an opening for your cat.

I have not traveled with cats but the front and side screens would easily tear under a cat's nails.

I am sorry, but I haven't used the screening as it is too small for my screen door. But I do think that cats nails won't tear the screening material since it is very thick and heavy "pet" screening.

No, the material is claw-proof. There is window screen material that is also scratch proof. It works the same way. I have 2 cats and they safely stay and play inside using their claws without any harm to the fabric.
