Screened dining fly and cats?

[Wasillaguy]

We have a couple little enclosures, but thinking about a screened dining fly so the cats have a little room to move around and can get their paws on real ground.
I don't think they'd be likely to nose their way out the bottom as long as we're with them, but was wondering what others have experienced in this arena.

What's going to happen when they see something crawling up the screening? Claws out would make a mess.

Are your cats chipped?

Good point. We've had windows open here at home quite a bit and no screen damage, but I'm sure the material on a dining fly would be a lot more vulnerable.
They do like to go after the bugs, they're only 1.5 yrs old.

Yes, they're all chipped up.
Waiting for the app to come out so I can download movies on there and watch em boondocking!

There are cat tents that have a bottom on them. Do a search on Amazon on cat tents or cat playpens.

Yep, we're already geared up with the octagon tent thingy and the 6 ft long hoop tunnel. Both are pretty confining though.

BTW, on the subject of chipping-
When you bring your new pet for vaccines, spay/neuter, etc and they ask if you want them chipped-
If you say yes, they charge you.
If you say no, they still chip them but no charge. At least that's the way it works at our vet.
