wrote: Hello, Does anyone have experience with imitation wood flooring (like Pergo) and cats? I'm really tired of this old carpet that traps litter, dirt, dust, and hair and am wondering if the immitation wood flooring works OK. Specifically, is it scratch resistant? Also, what happens if a cat pees on it? I don't know about the cost, but I thought I'd check out Lowes or Home Depot this weekend. I do like carpet in the winter because it feels warm, but the other aspects I mentioned above are really tiresome. Thanks! Dave I don't know anything about Pergo, but I talked my landlord into replacing awful old downstairs carpet a few years ago with vinyl flooring. Much, much better! Very easy to clean up, although as someone pointed out about laminate flooring, the cats do tend to skid on it. And if it is not "sealed", large volumes of liquids *are* a problem (though not one we have had). HTH GInger-lyn |

From: Sandra Loosemore
If you can afford it, hardwood is the way to go. I definitely agree. A hardwood floor will last more or less forever, and it's pretty much impervious to anything the cats can do to it. (Yes, I *have* had to deal with a couple of cat pee accidents over the years, but it's OK as long as you wipe it up promptly before it has a chance to soak in.) -Sandra Just curious, but what type of cleaner do you use on your hardwood floors, in general? ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecat.com/articles/claws.htm |

Sealed hardwoods should be cleaned with Windex. (Believe it or not!) -L. |
