How can I prevent my boyfriend's cat from scratching up the kitchen sink rug. I bought a nice kitchen rug to put by the sink and she is scratching it. It is not like a rug it is made of a different material, the rug doesn't slide it sticks to the linoluem floor. Thanks in advance for your tips. BTW he doesn't like her doing it either. Secondly, I adore her.... and I named her so I don't hate her and I am not worried about my relationship. I will just buy another... it is just that the rug wasn't cheap and matter of fact it is very nice and he loves it... mainly b/c I went through the trouble to modernize his slumpy apt to look like an sophisicated bach. pad. And... I would never give her away or declaw her or do anything mean to my baby girl. She is my little possessive princess and I love spoiling my little Chelsea Jewel Great idea Fairminded

SERIOUS suggestions for what to do with a cat that has begun peeing on rugs? My cat has begun peeing on the kitchen and bathroom rugs.

Why does my cat always barf on my rugs instead of linoleum or the hardwood floor? My cat has a bad hairball problem, and whenever the seasons change she'll have barfing episodes almost every day for weeks. Okay here's the part that really boggles my mind: Our house is all hardwood floor, with linoleum in the kitchen and the bathrooms. We have a few throw rugs here and there. Now, out of all the places to puke, she ALWAYS chooses to puke on one of the various throw rugs in the house. One time I saw her retching and I picked her up and put her on the linoleum and she ran back to the throw rug and hurled, refusing to barf on bare floor. I really wish she would barf on the hardwood or the linoleum because then I could just quickly wipe it up instead of having to pre-treat and wash the rugs all the time. Does anyone know why cats prefer puking on carpet vs. bare floor surfaces?
Replacing my rugs for Laminate throughout entire house Including Kitchen? Would it be weird to have Natural cherry Laminate in my kitchen and Laundry room? My house is an open floor plan. Meaning that the living room runs into the kitchen ., I spoke to a flooring man yesterday and he said that i could run the flooring straight to the garage door which is through the Kit &LR. I wanted Tile in the Bath's and Kit. But it is very pricey and the up keep is lengthy. The reason why I ask is because my House is currently on the market. (no one is looking) This is a FL home. The reason for the upgrade is that the rug is stained. It can't be fixed. Needs to be replaced. Ive thought bout more rug. But being that it is FL it is so HOT here that wood flooring would be cooler.& easier to clean! Any idea's on if a laminate would be good in a kitchen or is it totally weird?

anyone use Lowe's/Home Depot for kitchen installation? hubby and i will be inheriting a house from grandma and, well, it's stuck in 1953. everything is original to the house, including the appliances, rugs, etc. since we will be lucky enough to not worry about rehab costs on top of a mortgage, we will be able to spend a decent amount of money on the house. however, it will also require dormers being added to the attic, and all that fun stuff. i figure we will spend about 20k-25K on a kitchen, not including demo. is that a reasonable price to get a kitchen at lowes/home depot? we want wood cabinets, stone tile floors and natural stone counters. the kitchen is a moderate size, and a dining room table will have to fit, so we won't be doing an island. just your typical L-shape. have you bought from lowes/home depot and had them install? how did you feel about the materials and the service? is this a reasonable budget? it would also include appliances of a low to mid-range price. is that too much money budgeted? thanks!

What can I buy to protect my linoleum floors from being damaged from the kitchen chairs and table? I have heard of some sort of little plastic things, but I don't know what they're called and where to find them. Basically, I am about to move my dinette set in the kitchen on the linoleum. There are four parsons chairs and each of the chair legs have a little hard black thing on the bottom. I think it's a little black circle. The base of the table is stone (or that heavy material) and I want to make sure the floor doesn't get damaged. What can I buy and where do I get it from? Also, are there any other alternatives other than buying a 5x8 rug?
What kind of cleaning product should I use when I mop my kitchen floor?

When we pick up the throw rugs, it is a lighter color where the rug laid.
Puppy suddenly pooping on kitchen rugs rather than wee wee pad? We have a new puppy for a week now. He's a 16 wk old Lhasa. We gated off the kitchen and put down a wee wee pad and he's been great at using it. He does lay on it sometimes which I hate because it's not a sleeping pad. Suddenly he has pooped two times in a row on 2 different kitchen carpets rather than on the wee wee pad. Also last night he walked into his crate (which we really haven't used much) and pooped. Are these normal puppy accidents or a problem? I will start crating more after his diarrhea stops.... Vet has him on 3 medications for that. Fecal results will be on Monday. Also, we have the gated kitchen with wee wee pads for when we'll be out for more than 3 hours because puppies that age can't hold it that long. Anyway, any ideas why he would start doing that? Also, he suddenly started missing the wee wee pad somewhat, getting in on the floor and stepping in it... he used to get right in the middle and they are fairly large wee wee pads. Thanks

Why is 2 year old cat urinating on carpet? Here is the situation. I have both brother and sister. Both are really great cats. Never had any issues with them not using the cat box from day one when I brought them home. Even with a move they still used the cat box. I recently had a baby who is now almost 8 months. I also rescued two female kittens. One of the kittens didn't know how to use the cat box and had a couple of accidents but we broke that habbit quickly. Didn't have another problem from them. But now all of a sudden I noticed my 2 year old female cat is now peeing on the carpet. I just don't know what to do. I've tried every thing. I've used vinegar. I've used Urine OUt! and I've even used alcohol. But she keeps going in random spots. I've seen her use the cat box. Her diet is the same. Water in take is the same. It;s driving me crazy. I'm about to steam clean.. but I know what happens when you do that.. it usually makes it worse. Does anyone know why she would do this? She has also peeed on my kitchen rugs too!
