I LOVE THIS RUG!!!!  My cats also love this rug but I love it more.  Damage to my furniture has ended!!!!!!!!!   I'm not talking 1 or 2 cats - I own 20+ cats and 4 dogs.  The cats roll on it, scratch on it, play on it, sleep on it...they have decided the kitchen floor is the place to be.    This rug is a life saver, if you have pets.......BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
