I really love this rug. I got it at an incredibly good price and so I bought the biggest size I could. The colours are gorgeous and it seems to be ideal for someone with 2 cats - the nap is short and hairballs clean up fast and easy. I think that's because of the polypropylene. I wanted something natural but I think this will work better with animals in the house. It does, however, have a very strong smell for the first 2 weeks or so.
