My cat has poked holes in 2 pillows now. Will the quilted cover protect the pillow from cat claws?

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.

Oh boy! I have two cats and so far so good, BUT....I also have a quilted pillowcase over it. Are you using the pillow with the side where you pour in the water facing up? If so that would make a difference. That side has to be underside of your pillow. Naughty kitty.

Yes if you put the cat out of the bedroom and close the door. In all seriousness, it might help, but I don't have any animals so I really don't know. Maybe if you buy two quilted pillow protectors.

I don't think it's thick enough to prevent claw going thru. Maybe removing pillows from your bed when you get up so your cat is unable to claw it. Hope that helps

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.

There is a thick layer of padding that covers the top of the pillow so you should have zero problems. I have a cat, so I cover my pillow with the blankets and another pillow so there is never a chance of him puncturing the bag. Prevention is half the cure!

We have a cat and he hasn't punctured it. He sleeps on the bed with my son. Hope it helps.

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.

No its not a cover its part of the perch. Its stapled onto the frame over padding. I covered mine with a towel the same size as the perch and my cats do not notice the difference so I can just wash the towel.

I afraid I really can't answer that question for certain since I do not have cats. But I will say that the top of the pillow is well padded and as long as the pillow is laying with the top up, I would think that it would be ok. The pocket that hold the water is on the bottom of the pillow, and I suppose if the cat got to that part of the pillow it could possibly cause a problem -- just not sure.

Yes, it is a mesh type cover that ties at each post. It has kept neighborhood cats out of our sandbox, we tie it tauntly. But I guess something could crawl under the cover it is determined enough.

I would not say that this material is cat proof. It does seem pretty tough but it would not stand up to claws. It is like a tent material but if the cats are going to be climbing it on a regular basis I would definitely say that it would tear over time

I'm with Somanycats. Given that the pad is quilted, it probably would be compromised by cutting it down. You'd have to rebind it, which would be a bit tricky since I believe that there is a layer of water-proof material in the center.

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

Cat will be able to go under it and possibly scratch it to pieces. This is more for insect protection

It's a cover. So feathers may still come out of your pillow, but they would stay in the cover.

The netting is made of a thicker rubbery plastic (not sure EXACTLY what), but it does seem to be fairly claw proof. One of my 2 cats absolutely hates being in any kind of kennel, and has tried in the past to bite and claw his way out. His mouth started bleeding (!!!) before he could do barely any damage to the sleepypod netting. I would be most worried about your cat scratching/ruining the fluffy lining before I would worry about the net. The lining is a faux fur, with what I suspect to be a layer of hard foam on the inside. My cats don't scratch at it, but it depends on how much your cat is "clawing". I think damage could be done.

Depends on the cat. Otherwise not easily it will after a while tho. The cat will most likely get stuck in the material then rip it open when trying to claw at it.

Hi, don't have a cat but do know that the cover would not withstand the sharp claws of a kitty. I use a duvet cover and recommend that (which may help with active pets). In my opinion, no coverlet would fair well being clawed, I've seen the damage that happen. Otherwise a great value.

My guess is that it would not hold up well to cat claws. It is a bit silky on the top.
