Wendy,I went with tile and I love it I have one with the colors of urine, poop, litter, hairballs, etc... all kind of intermingled. Nothing shows! It's not that cold either (but I live in Georgia). Still if it's cold I put on some socks or slippers or whatever.I like it because

Hi guys, Well, my husband and I have finally decided to remove the carpet in the living room, hallway, and kitty room due to them urinating on it. It has gotten so bad that it actually is showing stains, which usually only comes after MULTIPLE instances of urinating on it. The house does not

Wendy, I replaced the carpet in my hallway and living room two years ago with very expensive wood laminate and I have been miserable ever since. It looks great when you first put it down, but you can't let the kitties pee on it or mop it with soap and water. If the kitties do have an accident you

Wow Sheila, I am so glad you posted back to me. It looks like we are either going to have to go to real hard woods, or tile. My husband LOVES the tile, but I just don't like it. I guess I can learn to like it. What about urine on hard woods? Thanks, :) Wendy --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

I have asked the people at lowes about hard would. They said that real wood would buckle if you get it wet. If you find out anything different please let me know. I would love to have wood floors, but I would think that the kitties might use them for scratching and I have to mop with soap and

Hardwood floors + Cats + Dogs = VERY EXPENSIVE NIGHTMARE!!! Take my advice, save the $$$'s frustration, go with tile. You can always put down "washable" throw rugs.. Scratches, urine, forget it. You'll be heartbroken. (I had HORRENDOUS scratches, from the dogs, on FIRST DAY!!!)

I have hard wood, and it takes a LOT of water to make it buckle. It's got a finish on it, and yes, the claws racing around the house *does* scratch it up. It's superficial scratches, but then who wants to have their hard wood re-varnished (well finished) every couple of years. Wonder about

One thing I have found on the Internet is that you can coat the hardwoods with an epoxy. Sherwin Williams makes one that isn't too expensive. I am looking into the validity of this. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have asked the people at lowes about hard would. They said that real wood

I agree with Sheila. I had the same problem with actual hardwood. With multiple pets, tile is one of the better options. The problem is you must always clean up immediately. My previous dog withliver issues urinated on a cat toy. I didn't see the accident and had not idea it was there. The urine
