How to protect rugs from cats.

And we just got used to our rugless life. Cats scratch by digging their front claws into a horizontal or vertical surface then pulling their feet down or back. They are also great for noise reduction. One by one romeo ruined them until we stopped putting any rugs on the floors at all.

All area rugs should have a carpet cushion. Patterned rugs are ideal since they forgive the odd smudge of dirt or drift of pet fur. To prevent your cat from urinating on carpets flip area rugs upside down to change their texture which your cat may not like. 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.

Protecting your carpet from cat pee can be so hard. In our old house we had all hardwood floors and area rugs. Just don t forget to clean them regularly as you would carpet. They come in handy for areas where you may have a lot of chairs or traffic.

Don t forget the area rug pads. Scratching is an important part of a cat s health and wellbeing. Try putting double sided sticky tape around the edges of the rug where your cat is urinating since cats don t like that sensation either. Always use a rug pad beneath your rugs to protect the floor.

Why cats scratch carpet upholstery and other surfaces. 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. Also area rugs help prevent dogs from sliding across the floors.
