Cats and carpets
I'm moving next month. (I posted about this recently in the context of
pet moving services.) I'm leaving a house which has all hardwood floors, which have been very convenient for cleanup when one of my cats goes whoops, as cats are prone to do. I'm traveling to Chicago to find an apartment soon, and I'm in a quandary about hardwood floors vs. carpets. Insisting on hardwood floors would guarantee easy cleaning, but it would pretty much limit me to older buildings, which would greatly reduce my choices and impose other disadvantages on me. How difficult is it to preserve the appearance of a carpet if you have cats? What coping strategies have you evolved? My mail address is jsachs177 at earthlink dot net. |
