Protecting your carpet from cat pee can be so hard.
Scratching is an important part of a cat s health and wellbeing.
And we just got used to our rugless life.
Always use a rug pad beneath your rugs to protect the floor.
Patterned rugs are ideal since they forgive the odd smudge of dirt or drift of pet fur.
Just don t forget to clean them regularly as you would carpet.
While this often damages the item being scratched it provides a benefit to the cat.
Over the years my husband and i completely adapted our home based on romeo s pee problems.

Area rugs are a good way to keep your carpet clean especially if you have pets that like to come and go and may track in mud and dirt.
They come in handy for areas where you may have a lot of chairs or traffic.
Plus they prevent scratches and add to style and decor for the room.
Even if they already have a pad an extra will help to keep the rug from sliding around and keep any accidents from making its way to the wood or tile below.
