Comments (7)I will think it over, it has to be one easily opened and one that allows even tempeture in the house. The real under gravel issue is, I think Bindi is going through his Social puberty, read about it in feline behavioral books ( not sexual, social. It happens later then sexual in gen hits between age of 2 and 4) and the move with the new cat happened right in the thick of it. Bindi isn't even 3 yet. Leopalorn is almost 2 (I do think the purebred in him will tone it down) but I told dad don't expect Leopalorn to always be nice. He'll probably play longer but I'm sure it still happens....See Morebest carpet for pet owners
Comments (13)I learned this the hard way, but it is good to.know. I purchased a 100% wool 10 x 13 rug for my living room. One of my cats did not like the.other using the litter box so she started going on the rug. I found a recipe online to remove the odor. It helped a lot but didn't stop.the cat. Each time I saw a,wet place I blotted.it, then literally poured whire vinegar and hydrogen peroxide on the spots. I had to put something under afterwards to.dry the floor and absorb liwuid from the rug. Then when I had my upholstery cleaned, I had them clean the rug. Only after I paid them did I ask how they clean wool.rugs (my sister pays souch to.have hers picked up, cleaned and returned.in place. WELL, I was completely shocked to.learn the carpet cleaners WASH WOOL.CARPETS. So after that did what they said they do. My husband took ut out to the drive way, and I washed it front and back. It has to be turned to dry thoroughly, but don't leave the top with direct sun for several days like I did. I had a bit of fading. So, you do have this option if you really like the warmth and feel of carpet under your feet. Not all wool rugs are as expensive as some pay for the orientals. Mine was 900. compared to almost 4000. ,my sister paid. Hers has to be a lifetime.purchase. Mine does not, thankfully. Also,.in.my bedrooms, I bought the padding that has the liquid barrier layer. Also, another tip I got :, If you do decide on carpet, before installing, wash your subflooring (if not particle board) with white vinegar and hydrogeox peroxide,,When dry sprinkle combo of baby powder and baking soda. Sweep that up so to leave sime in the wood grain. Then again sprinkle a light layer.all.over and install carpet over it with.the pet type padding or the fur babies will.smell where they went before. It will be chore with 4 of them, but u k buy baby diapers and cut a hole for the tail. Then u should take all if them.out together removing the duapers at the doggie door and coax them out with a treat. When u take off the diapers, note which.one already wet their diaper. Then as each goes you should praise them by name and give another treat. You can reuse the dry diapers using painters tape wrapped as round. The orig tape wint endure. You may find by checkin who.used the diaper that all 4 ate not the culprits. I.have two dogs, two cats and all but the newest puppy rings a bell hanging.on the door to.let me know. Then they all go out together. But that puppy comes running to.me to see if I am coming, so she's om her way. I do also have a doggie door, but.only..one cat uses it. I also.keep a pee pad on the bath floor for when I am gone. I.learned a long tome ago, you have to use some of your not really free time to train puppies /dogs. Skip.one tome taking them out on a schedule (for a while) and you are causing the problem. The become accustomed.to going at certain times. You have to.gradually extend it from every hour until a couple of times a day. Hope ALL this helps some....See MorePet friendly stair carpet
Comments (8)I'm Jordan and I work for Mohawk and Karastan. Since your carpet was NOT Karastan, you might consider a Karastan style; we have patterned loop carpets in wool, nylon and SmartStrand. Options linked below if you're interested in checking any out or getting samples. Whatever brand you choose, though, be sure to ask whether the warranty will cover a stair installation: standard carpet warranties typically do not include stairs. (If you install Karastan carpet on a KaraStep cushion, the warranty DOES cover stairs). Best of luck with your flooring search! https://www.karastan.com/carpet?page=1&specifications.Texture%20Style.keyword=Berbers%20%2F%20Loop%20Pile...See MoreJill_NC
