Is there such a thing as a cat proof door seal?

[Sam Leon]

When I have tenants who have cats, the exterior door weather seals get ripped to shreds.

Like this:

or like this:

and being in Florida, this increases the electric bill because the air conditioning has to run more, and the tenants complain about the electric bill.

I can replace the weather seal, and three days later we are back to the same place.

Is there something I can do to cat proof this?

@Sam Leon The best way to cat-proof a property is not allowing them at all. We do not allow cats and scratching is just one of several reasons why. Cats also cause extreme allergies in some people, even more so than dogs, which can limit your tenant pool. And if you have ever had to remove cat urine from a property, you know what an uphill battle it is. Good luck.
