Hardwood or laminate, it's definitely better and so much easier to clean!

I used to have carpets everywhere in my old apartment, and when I moved, I first was a bit concerned about the laminate because I was afraid Luna might have problems to walk and could hurt herself when she slips. But it worked great, and even now that I have Lily and the two cats chase each other, they have learned very well to deal with the laminate.
