I guess this could work for a cat also.

Here are the Top 5 Decorating Tips for living with pets:

1. Invest In Leather Furniture - It resists fur and dirt or you can also throw a pretty flat sheet over your furniture.

2. Choose The Right Paint - Use washable finishes and dark colors in areas where dogs or cats spend lots of time.

3. Stick With Sisal Rugs - They have a nice scratchy feel that dogs love and dirt just falls right through.

4. Remember The Wag Factor - Keep picture frames, plants and cherished collectables off coffee tables and low shelves and out of the way of happy tails!

5. Call In The Furminator - Reduce the amount of pet hair deposited on your furniture and rugs by using deshedding tools on your pets once or twice a week.

I actually found sisel rugs to be a nightmare with dog fur! Maybe it was the type/texture I had, but it was really hard to get the fur off of the sisel...never again!
