Can kittens claw through the mesh, can they escape?

We have had many kittens residing in our two Precision pet units and no kittens have escaped or damaged the mesh sides. Of course they at times climb up the sides. We generally keep very small kittens 1-6 weeks old, and at times some older kittens, that we just received from our rescue group, to allow them to adjust to the day to day noises, etc.Thanks

I used it for my ferret. I think that kittens can tear the mesh up eventually. You might just have to keep an eye out on them while they are in it.

A determined cat could conceivably squirm out of the top between the latch down places. It would not be easy though.The side cage wiring is too small for a cat to get through.

I have use the carrier for my two kittens and they have not tried to get out. That's because I open the front flap and they can see everything going on. I would agree that it really depends on the cat. The air flow is sufficient with either both ends opened or the front flap open.

The only way they can escape is if they chew through the netting or the material. I use mine every day. I carry a Shih Tzu and a Papillion in it. I am very happy with it. Do not remember what the box looked like sorry

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 it would be very cramp and the animal would have no room to move. Even for a small kitten it would not be comfortable.

The tent is very sturdy and won't rip. The only issue I had was that my kitty was able to paw and push his little head through the place where the zipper closes and escape. The solution was easy, I tie the zipper (there is a hole at the end of it) to one of the loops on the enclosure so he can't do it. But it would be impossible for the cat to claw through the tent mesh. I've had them in it daily for several months without a rip.

Agreed - he can't pull forward and rip out, but he is a mellow guy. If he were to have a typical cat spaz attack, I could see that, if he were facing me, he could squirm out. That is a cat thing - they can get out of a straightjacket if they are scared enough. This is the most secure thing short of a barred cage, and is better than a nylon harness

It's a synthetic material with a mesh- like pattern. Very tiny holes in the material. A cat's claws might get caught and rip the material.

I don't let my cats in the room where my gerbils are but I can see a determined cat being able to break into it. Maybe even by jumping on top of it, Im sure that could make the sides of the cage press in or out.

I've had kittens that climbed up my drapes and got into everything. I think it depends on the activity level of the kittens. I think if a kitten wanted to, it would climb out. I've also had puppies climb out of these pens.

I suppose so unless they are extremely aggressive. It is made of whatseems to be a strong fabric. I expect if you locked a cat in it the cat would eventually rip a hole in it.

This is definitely not escape proof. It tells you in the instructions not to use this for a tie out situation. If you're holding a lead and you hold it straight up the cat can't get out. When they have leverage against the lead they can back out fairly easily. The best plan is to not let the cat pull against the lead. I've always been able to grab him before it became a problem.

It depends on the cat. A real feral cat might want to see what might be approaching. Try facing the Tube away from the wind or putting it in a sheltered spot. I think as long as there is a good escape path the barrier would be fine. Good luck

No mesh, and the top does not latch in a cat proof manner like my other. My cat can escape from this every time now even secured to the carriers best ability.

Yes. The coop would be strong enough to hold them in, however they will be a bit cramped. I guess it depends on how old (large) the kittens are.

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.
