You can come shake on my rug, it's ok! It'll wash. ^^ I pretty much refuse to buy anything (clothes, rugs, blankets, etc) that I can't chuck into the washing machine at will.
^this times 100
I refuse to buy anything that can't be easily washed or easily replaced without feeling super sad about it. I have a cat that occasionally decides items should be knocked down, rugs should be clawed (or furniture >.>, we are working on this), or he should play in the wet shower and then walk tiny wet paw prints over everything. then there is the hair....seriously a short-haired cat should not shed so much.
This is why I can't have nice things :p
Plus I tend to drop things, clumsy with dishes or coffee cups...you bet. :p
