Soft comfort meets practical elegance – also in a house where a cat lives. Whether you have a playful climber, a sun seeker, or a cuddler on four paws: the right rug brings balance. It softens your space, adds tranquility, and provides your cat with a nice spot to lounge, play, or watch unnoticed from their favorite corner.
What material suits your lifestyle?
Cats are sensitive to texture. They love soft surfaces, but also grip. At the same time, you want a rug that looks nice, is resistant to claws, and is easy to keep clean.
Think of natural materials as wol, sisal, houtvezel or a careful composed mix. Each material has unique properties that work well in a household with cats — from stain resistance to structural integrity.

Wool: soft, resilient, and naturally self-cleaning
-
For cats that love a soft surface and you love a stylish base. Wool feels warm underfoot and offers natural resilience. It is wear-resistant, easily restores its Shape, and is less likely to retain dirt.
- Wool contains lanolin – a natural material that repels moisture and dirt. Ideal for indoor cats that love to lie by the window or snuggle in warm spots.

For cats with an adventurous side. Sisal is a robust plant-based material with a visible structure. Some cats even prefer it over a scratching post — although it’s no guarantee that they will leave your furniture alone.

Maintenance is easy. Dirt and hair adhere less quickly to the fibers, and the dense structure keeps the rug looking beautiful for a long time. Regular vacuuming or shaking out is sufficient to keep the rug in top shape.
- A conscious choice. Sisal is completely biodegradable and is produced without harmful chemicals — safe for your cat, good for the planet.
