Is this a good screen cover for hamsters in an aquarium? I also need to make sure my 13 lbs cat can't push it off.

It should be able to hold a hamster in an aquarium just fine provided you also have some type of clips to secure the screen. Without clips a cat would easily be able to open the lid in the aquarium. The screen in very sturdy but it simply sits on top the aquarium so without clips you will have a hard time keeping critters in the tank or keeping other critters out of the tank.

Yes it is. They will get to it over time but I installed the screen a year ago and it still looks like new. I have 5 cats.

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.

NO! This is not "secure" by any means, and the strength and quality of the product wouldn't even stop a curious hamster. That being said, it's worth the cheap price if it's used for its intended purpose, to stop bugs.tl;drThis product will not hold up to any cat.Best of luck to you!

The shelves are my one complaint about this cage so if you find others that fit please let me know. Sorry this isn't really an answer. Their plastic is super rinky and I really worry about my 13lb cat getting his toes caught between the plastic shelf and the metal shelf-attacher since the plastic bows under his weight. I ended up putting the tray on the shelves and he just uses the top half now.

I don't know about the comparison, but I will tell you that my cat easily destroyed one of the screens already. He just kept clawing at it until there were holes. It held up better than a regular screen, but eventually failed. I used a spray that I bought here on Amazon to deter scratching. That has seemed to do the trick. Hope this helps.

This is a very large cage. A hamster would be able to escape through the widely spaces bars. I'd look for something smaller with a tighter grid :)

Not At all,I have my cats go thru it all the time.If you were to nail/screw it to the wood tight maybe but then its not a screen door.

Yes, it's pretty cat-proof. I had that problem with our old tank - had to tape the top on to keep the cats out. They've never been able to get into this one.

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.

The cat would have to be pretty small or pretty persistent to wiggle through. My cat has never tried to squeeze through. The largest openings aren't that big and more towards the middle on my screen, so the cat doesn't even try. I'm sure a younger cat could try, but would probably knock it over before getting through.

Its not as big as it looks. My cat loves the carpet cover, but she is just a little too big to get inside. I kept it because I cannot carry it back to the post office and if she enjoys part of it, thats better than ignoring it. Im not sure how big your ferrets are, but they might like it. Im not really knowledgeable about them. The kitten on top tho, I missed that.

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!

Obvious answer, but I wanted to know if this top would fit over the flat top that came with the tank. If I'd have had more space, I would have added that my cats are drinking the water out of the aquarium because the flat top has a rather large opening where the water filter goes, I would like to put a cover over that so the cats couldn't get at the water.

if you're concerned about escape just place a board or anything to hold down the top screen. To be honest, most pet store tanks have a flimsy top.
