It's made of Velcro. Velcro around the neck and 2 velcros around the stomach.

The velcro is very wide and secure. My cat weighs about 10 pounds and there's no way he can wiggle out of it. That being said, I still haven't taken him for a walk outside because he becomes very docile when he has it on and he just lies down.

Its like a canvas material. The cats claws could snag the mesh. Go to your Petsmart Or Petco they have the fame type just more money. Good Luck

I am not sure I can answer that. The material this is made of is canvas like and feels like foam inside the canvas. It wouldn't let air in but there is an opening on both ends to allow kitty to escape. The house is very light weight and put together with Velcro. I put mine up next to the wall because I have mine in a screened porch and not worried about predictors. My cat uses it all winter but I live in north Florida. Hope this helps. Patsy

I purchased S/M but did not use it; my long hair cat wouldn't tolerate the very strong velcro closing which caught a lot of hair as we closed velcro straps, then when removing it, the force needed to actually pull the straps apart made it very difficult to comfortably remove. We purchased the standard harness; no problem.

I've had the other type with zips for years and the cats slowly tear holes in the mesh and I eventually replace them when's there is too much duct tape on the stroller--but I can't image a cat who could tear a hole in one in a single effort, large enough to get out. The mesh is plasticized and doesn't readily tear, it requires concerted, long-term effort (which one of my cats is willing to expend.)

There appears to be an extra rubber tip connecting the stick to the fleece. Now that I am looking at it, my cat has been biting that rubber piece, but it is still secure.

Our cat is de-clawed on the front paws. I believe the mesh is strong enough. Our cat has learned to open the zipper with his teeth however,

I have two of these and my cat loves it. Make sure that the legs are in the right slot. This is based on the width of the widow sill. but you will find out that the Velcro does not last very long.

It is velcro, but I cannot recommend it. It is made without tapering and consequently slips down no matter how tightly fastened.

Yes the closure is with velcro but I've filled mine a few times and it still opens and shuts fine. Hope this helps.

My cat has already figured out how to get the lid off. I now have to use a few pieces of duct tape to secure it.

I would think kittens, or a declared cat. Our Morkies is 4 months old (puppy ) and I believe we are close to having to find another place for nights. She knows how to take the velcro vinyl bottom up and can almost get free.

no this would not stop if cat. the Velcro is not solid from top to bottom. It I just 2 or 3places along the edges. A cat could push threw if they wanted to.

Is your kitty done growing? If so, I'd get the S/M. You have plenty of Velcro to work with and you want it to be snug.
