I have a cat and she immediately decided to use the rug as her new scatch post. We stopped her right away but she keeps going at it. Needless to say, the rug still look great weeks later.  It's extremely durable een with a cat trying to tear it apart. And even when I spilled some Boba tea on it, there's no stain and it cleaned up very easily. I love this rug! 

Pros: durable, cat-proof, stain-proof
