Need a nice tightly woven area rug that cats cannot tear up!

9 years ago

Hello,

Any guidance would greatly appreciated ! Bought a beautiful Pottery Barn ( I believe '"hand tied?") area rug for my living room which despite trying many suggested remedies, my cats continued to scratch on it, tearing out gobs ofcarpet fibers daily .

I give up and it's time to buy a differently constructed rug. I want something beautiful of course but I guess something tightly woven or low pile or any other description or style that would be a lot tougher for cats or anything else to tear the fibers from. ( I've tried sprays, vertical and horizontal scratching devices, plastic sheeting etc, frequent nail trims, etc)

After almost a year all I have are piles of messy loose fibers and its so ugly .

I do not know much at all about the types, styles , construction or where to start looking.

I'm grateful for any information or suggestions!

Thanks so much!

Deb
