How Do You Keep Cats From Marking Or Urinating On A New Carpet?
February 23rd, 2010 | 
Author: Our old carpet had many urine stains, esp. the closet. We don;t want to have this carpet soiled w/cat urine. We have 3 indoor/outdoor and 1 indoor cat. All are healthy w/no urinary infections or problrems. 2 of them have slept with us for years. They have spent the last 2 days since installation crying and scratching at the door (which has just been painted) and keeping us awake most of the night. I admit I miss them too, but I dont want to ruin a new expensive carpet!

Will Cats Urinate On Vinyl Flooring?
I’m having my carpet took up and replaced with vinyl flooring because the odor is such that nothing will work anymore my cat has urinated so much in the carpet.Am I correct in thinking that they won’t urinate on flooring?She never has urinated in the kitchen were the vinyl flooring is so I’m putting it in the bedroom,hall and her room.The places I can’t afford to replace the carpet I will shut those rooms off when I’m at work.
Is Bamboo Flooring Compatible With Dogs And Cats, Compared To Traditional Hardwoods Like Oak?
it will definitely scratch some. Keep your dogs’ nails clipped. Cats don’t walk on their nails so it won’t cause as much damage, but dogs do. Dog nails should be clipped weekly, to just shy of the vein which is usually visible through the nail as a pink section.
The woven (strandwoven) bamboo is the hardest, and will hold up better than a lot of hardwoods, but if you don’t clip your dogs’ nails, it will wear just like any wooden floor.
Even with clipping there will be some wear, but you can minimise it. The darker carbonised, sometimes called coffee bamboo is the softest, and it’s similar to a Tassie Oak. The natural blond colour is significantly harder, closer to a Jarrah. The strandwoven stuff is about as hard a floor as you can get in a wood-style product (bamboo’s grass, not wood, but it looks and feels like wood).
Good luck! We’re thinking about getting some ourselves, so that’s why I’ve done all the research recently and it’s fresh in my head.
