I actually ordered this rug for my rabbit since he is terrified of hardwood floors. I thought that he could use it as an island of safety where he didn't have to worry that his paws would slide on the floor. He hates it. You would have thought I put a snake at his feet. Tough for him though because I'm keeping it for me. It has bright color that stands out and I really like it. The only slight detraction that I can mention is that it shipped rather tightly rolled. It unwrapped easily, but it took a long time to flatten out and not have the ends want to curl up. I tripped a few times until gravity took over and flattened those bits.
