Love the overall look and soft feel of this rug, but it sheds like a living creature. You cannot use a beater bar on this rug, so you’ll need a vacuum with great suction to reduce shedding over time. 

Also, the way the weave is constructed is very loose - this means some pieces of the rug may stick up and you’ll have to manually re-incorporate those pieces back into the rug. I’m absolutely terrified of what my cat will do to it, too. 

This may end up being an expensive mistake in the long-run.
