Yes, I have two siberian cats (large like Maine Coon cats). I have a pet door that allows them to go out to the screened lanai any time. They do damage the screening, to the point of tearing it and creating rips that could be large enough for them to get out.
Recently I had the conventional screening replaced with "super-strong" screening. It was costly but so far they have not torn it.
An additional alternative is specially designed pet screening. It is even heavier. My local store only carries that in 4 foot widths, though, so they would have to reframe the lanai if I chose that.
