Has anyone done this before?
I saw it done in a place in town and quite liked the effect.

Also the cat has taken to clawing at some of the wallpaper in the bedroom, maybe this would act as a deterrent?

Don't think I've seen it done but I'd imagine that would look awful. Maybe try a small sample patch on a separate bit of wallpapered board before committing to an entire room.

Never seen that done before (although I am not entirely sure what you mean) and i have sold wallpaper from every "known" brand for years. Are you sure it wasn't a vinyl ? Some of the stuff we sell now is incredible, surface finishes in paper have come a long way in the last couple if years. Fabric backed vinyls with pearls and shell through to mother of pearl and vinyls that would pass for polished concrete.
