Are Air-Beds Cat Proof

[wolf63]

I'm not sure that I need/want an AirBed but I was just wondering if they are easily punctured?

Does anybody know?

[bednobs]

normal cats - no
your cats - yes

My cats destroyed ours within the first 30 seconds :/

I wouldn’t let princess merlin near one

One good padding session, you have a flat rubber mat

[corylus]

Never trust a cat, they have serious claws

[wolf63]

Thanks all - ☺☺☺☺

It would be great to be a cat - you just do what you want to do, destroy what you want to destroy, sleep all day, do no work but demand food when you want it ... and you are still loved.

Cats and men have similar lives :-)

Oi madam, pack that in ;-)

[tonyav]

Susan you should know that there is nothing ( thats not armour plated ) that is cat proof.

I wouldn't place complete confidence in the armour-plating either, Tony ;-)

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, your right Chris. Those claws seem to be able to get through anything.

Earlier this year Merlin was trying to get my attention by taking chunks out of the side of my mattress. She managed to snag one and demanded that I rescue her, I took a matter of seconds to reach her and untangle her and she thanked me by biting me. If dog acted like that you would angry and horrified but cats get off with, literally, murder.

Snag a claw !!!!!!

Probably declawed cat proof.

When my four cats were still young kittens (just a few weeks old) I blocked up the cat gap (which should have been a cat flap but the actual flap was missing) with some very stout cardboard. However their mother was determined to show them what lay outside and managed to rip it open.

So I got a sheet of extra thick cardboard and layered it on both sides with double-strength cloth tape (which normal scissors wouldn't cut through - I had to use extra big ones). Then I repeated the job, so that I'd got two heavily reinforced pieces of really thick cardboard, which I put one on top of the other, joining them with yet more of the cloth tape. I then fixed the doubled-up (and super-strengthened) cardboard over the gap, securing it with several layers of the strong tape.

Knowing that I'd created an obstruction that it would be hard to penetrate with a power drill, I then went out to the pub. When I came home there where four tiny kittens in the street, being carefully shepherded around by their proud mum. She'd totally shredded the 'impenetrable' obstruction in her path!

Is anything cat proof?

[tonyav]

Gawd blimey, she must have Freddie Kruger claws Chris.

[anneasquith]

Chris, do you ever wonder where mum went ? Really cheeky leaving her kids with you ? ;-)

[tonyav]

I took a matter of seconds to reach her and untangle her and she thanked me by biting me.

A love bite, Susan ;-)

Do you have cats Tony ?
