Unless your cats have claws like daggers, I don't think it will be easy for your cat to puncture the mattress. However if he uses it like a scratching post then all bets are off.

I don't know...but I was airing it up (after owning a couple of months...with not much use) it got really big in one corner..than wouldn't pump up at all. Amazon gave me my money back...very nice about it too. I would not buy another of this brand.

My dogs have not caused damage, but my cats have sharpened their claws on the top (does cause damage). It has held up very well to the abuse that we (3 60 lb dogs, 3 active cats, 2 rowdy kids and friends, and 2 adults) put it through. I have had it 3? years?

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.

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

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

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.

The plastic seems pretty tough, but it has that brushed fabric feel to it. Cats claws may go through it, but I doubt a dog's claws will - unless they're really determined.

The construction is of rigid foam with a smooth synthetic material covering finish. Two cats should be no problem so long as they like close contact.

No. You have to hit it pretty hard. My cats are always running into the windows and they never set it off.

The netting is very sturdy and reinforced. I would assume that a cat would have a difficult time significantly puncturing it, if at all.

Yes. It has a collapsible frame, probably flexible nylon or a similar material. Mine was a bit squished from transport and is just starting to pop back into shape now. This doesn't seem to affect how well it functions with a cat in it though.

Yes. It comes apart rather easily. Sometimes too easily if your cats are too rough but it also goes right back together. I feel it was well worth the money.

Not that I'm aware of. My cats haven't damaged the cover yet and they have full untrimmed sharp claws.

I let my cat play with mine (supervised.) he loves it. The hard plastic doesn't appeal to him so he doesn't chew it but when it gets stuck in the heater vent he will pull it out gently by one of its legs with his teeth. The legs feel secure enough that I don't worry about him breaking one off.

i have three cats as well, and would never expose them to being hurt. that being said, i tested the scat-mat on myself when i opened it... it was a slight shock. not painful at all, just annoying enough to cats that they learn to stay away. lately, i dont even plug it in anymore, i just leave it laying there. they avoid it by sight alone. ive accidentally stepped on it barefoot plenty of times- you definitely notice it, but it definitely doesnt hurt. it just gets the cats attention and makes them associate that spot with something unpleasant.

Yes it's durable. A dog's claws probably wouldn't poke thru walking across. My cat does scratch and knead it and that does mess it up :)

Yes, just by stepping on it, which is why I couldn't use mine for awhile till my cat got adopted. Of course I would imagine once it went off and scared them they would stay away from it...but you know how cats are
