While you love your cat like a family member, you know that owning pets can be tough on your home, especially your carpeting. If you’re planning to install a new carpet soon, select one that will work well with your cat. Here is a simple guideline to follow.

A Guide to Choosing Carpeting for Cats

Type of Carpeting

When shopping for a carpet, consider the fiber style. Try to stay away from looped carpeting, as cats can easily rip out the fibers with their claws and cause it to unravel. Instead, opt for carpeting with cut fibers. They are trimmed down to remove loops, so your cat will be less likely to damage it or get their claws stuck.

It’s also a good idea to consider the density of the carpeting. A denser carpet makes it more difficult for liquid to seep into the fibers and leave permanent stains. If your cat has an accident or spills a liquid on your carpeting, there’s a lower risk of sustaining permanent damage.

Color of Carpeting

If you one or more cats, it’s best to stay away from light-colored carpets. If they have an accident or knock over food or drinks, the stains will likely be noticeable. Installing dark-colored carpeting is a much better option, as it can hide stains and discoloration well.
