    That is a SUPER idea, Jen!! It will be so easy to clean!
    What I was wondering: is it thick enough to resist cat-claws?

    Gosh, I was too busy thinking about how nice it is for the kitties to have their own room! Do they like to look out the window?

    I am hoping that it is. The temporary tarp that I placed over the rug withstood A LOT of abuse from the cats. That tarp was on the floor for at least a year and some (Since the time Lucas had the bad diarrhea) without a hole or a tear.

    If it does not......on to the next plan. (but I think it will last a while)

    YUP. I have 2 taller carriers placed in front of the window and on top a plywood board with a carpet.......the perfect cat perch.

    This is the room they go into to eat. 11 cats in their own cages, 2 not in cages and the other cats are in a couple other rooms. They also love the cat trees and even just laying in their open cages to catch a nap.

    Jen, it looks great and hopefully it'll be tough enough to last a long time. What do the cats think of it?

    Personally, I love it! I talked to Melissa about doing this in my kitty room, because of my pottiers! I would have NEVER thought to staple to the walls though!

    And I think it looks ok, no worse than stained carpet from cat pooh

    I bet it will also be cool on the cats too!

    Hope this works for you. Please keep us updated, I would like to know how it works out!


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    Please be responsible, spay and neuter your pets!


    I've been BOO'd!!! Thanks Lori!

    Sounds like (and looks like) a great idea! At first I thought you had painted the floor, but the tarp idea is even better. And, even if it gets abused, it can be easily replaced. And, no smell, either. The best of all worlds!

    Good thinking, Jen!
