I absolutely love this area rug! I originally bought the 5x7, but it looked too small after seeing it in my space, so I exchanged it for the 7.5’x9.5’ and I’m so glad I did! But cat owners be careful Mine started clawing at it within minutes of laying it down and snagged it pretty good. I have other rugs and they haven’t scratched at them, so I’m not sure why. Thankfully I was able to fix it with scissors. Still looks brand new. Just need to be careful and keep their claws trimmed. I might look into getting a fabric spray that helps prevent cats from scratching.
