Got a roll of this to do the whole house. Other than the labor involved in putting the screens into the frames, everything went quite well. Had to get a friend to help me do the big ones, but otherwise pretty easy to work with. You can definately tell the difference between this screening and the old stuff I replaced. This is darker and thicker, but its not noticable once you put it up. See through it just fine. I wont be able to cat test it until spring, but so far I am quite satisfied that it should do its job and not get damaged when the cat claws at it.
