Just as i had set up my tent she came in, was raining outside. We've been hanging out here for half an hour already. I hope she won't spike my sleeping pad. Necklace says her name is Kyra. Love it ๐ฅน

We bought a brand new queen sized air mattress for guests and our cat poked holes in it within 5 minutes of us setting it up. Good luck to you!
After you patch or replace it, a quilted mattress pad is helpful for this, and maybe draping a duvet over as well, before letting the cat in the room. My husband has an alternating-pressure mattress overlay to prevent bedsores (he's quadriplegic) and we've had to protect it from our cat, who loves the purr of the motor and cuddling with him.
Trimming the cat's front claws helps too. Not too short, just the needle-sharp tips.
Well......thats your fault. You didn't ask your cats permission before setting up a new thing. It's your cats house. You just live there to serve them! Silly human....
She was laying on it with us, enjoying it. Then she decided she had enough of that and took off like a bat out of hell, fully extending all of her claws for traction.
