4986. arkymalarky - 9/7/2013 7:35:29 PM if I had it to do over again I would not put a spec of carpet in my house. Mose is very lucky that she and sil have a rent house that has 0 carpet, since they have 3 dogs. Their house is all tile and it looks great. 4987. iiibbb - 9/7/2013 7:40:12 PM Rugs are better than carpet for sure.
If I had any control over it we wouldn't have a cat, and it wouldn't have ever been upstairs. 4988. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:01:21 PM We have two cats and no carpet...just oriental rugs in 4 rooms.
Well, I take that back...we have indoor/outdoor carpet in the garden room but Keoni wants to have it ripped out. I'm leaning toward that myself. Get some nice faux slate vinyl and then get a small oriental rug for the main section.
Back to the cats...thus far, not pee problems, just the occasional regurgitation when one eats too quickly. 4989. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:05:18 PM And with 2 cats, and me being as OC with them as I am, the litter boxes are scooped out each time they use them...I collect the clumps in a heavy duty ziplock bag each time and we have ZERO cat smell in our house.
People come to visit and suddenly, a cat will stroll by and they are amazed we even HAVE cats...one person even blurted out "I can't believe you have cats...I didn't smell them!" and I just said "You won't."
4990. iiibbb - 9/7/2013 8:07:04 PM We had a robot scooper that did a great job... but when it broke the second time I didn't feel like getting it fixed again. 4991. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:09:14 PM Well, sometimes I fell like a robot scooper! 4992. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:09:41 PM Well, sometimes I fell like a robot scooper! 4993. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:10:05 PM Arrgh...I did not do that on purpose! 4994. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:02 PM But I might... 4995. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:14 PM do 4996. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:24 PM this 4997. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:39 PM on 4998. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:14:50 PM purpose 4999. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:15:00 PM If I 5000. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:15:07 PM can 5001. judithathome - 9/7/2013 8:15:22 PM get that!! 5002. arkymalarky - 9/7/2013 10:46:40 PM Yay! 5003. thoughtful - 9/9/2013 12:09:57 AM Try nature's miracle cat urine destroyer...it works really well...but don't be afraid to use enough to soak the carpet....it may take several days to dry, but it really does a great job of eliminating the odor... 5004. thoughtful - 9/9/2013 12:23:32 PM Down the road a tad, a fellow has created a "tonka tree". Every little boy's dream come true!
5005. iiibbb - 9/9/2013 8:01:23 PM Thoughful... the race for the millinial occluded the fact I did use it. For 2 weeks with much saturation. It did some... even a lot... but it didn't get rid of all of the smell. Luckily, the vinegar wash did seal the deal.
