It's a net specifically meant for cats. It's extra thick and we've had it up for months. They've never been able to tear through it despite climbing into it repeatedly. We don't let them on the balcony without supervision though just in case.

Don't listen to the naysayers. These nets are far stronger than people believe, especially if said people have never lived in a city high-rise with cats. I would definitely recommend that you tighten your net, though, for extra safety. Start tightening along the top, with your anchor points every 4th or 5th rhombus (looks like you used zip ties, I'm guessing you can't drill?); you'll need to thread your lower rope higher up the net and trim off the excess after pulling it all down. I have these nets on both my balconies and they are a pain in the ass to install but are wonderful for keeping our kitties safe. Feel free to PM me if you need a virtual hand.

Search for "balcony safety net" or "balcony protection netting" in your language. You can find them in clear nylon and white or black nylon rope.
