I have no idea what sort of finish is on the floor. I think I'll take a pic of it and take it with me to Home Depot and see if they have any ideas. Unfortunately because of where it's located a rug won't work. But trust me, I've got rugs everywhere else! LOL I'm not too upset about it, really. I mean, it was a accident and I swear the little orange kitty just askes to be chased.
