Awww, poor little fella

I'm with ya on the carpet. My front room has light beige carpet with pink and blue spots all over it. I'd like to get a large area rug to cover it up, but I have a cat that thinks rugs are meant to be marked. That's even worse! lol
And I can't replace the carpet because said cat also likes to claw carpet and furniture. I'm not allowed anything new until I either get him declawed (shudder) or he kicks it.
