Animals Love/Hate Relationship With Hardwood Floors

I’ve lived in my current condo for only a few months now, and my cat is still getting used to the hardwood floors. His claws are freshly cut, and he’s used to romping around a place with carpet. Needless to say he’s having a hard time escaping my clutches which normally isn’t a hard things to do. I’m unfortunately short on a lovely little HD camera to capture those moments so I’ve wrangled up some goodies from Youtube. I hope the content makes up for the lack of writing I’ve been able to do.
I definitely won’t forget the first experience my once young and innocent cat first experienced a romp on some hardwood floors. This little guy isn’t sure at all on how to keep from slipping on this very glossy hardwood. It will take a bit before this kitten learns to grow some wound inducing claws to find its traction during a chase. I think I’ll let my cat grow his claws out a bit just so he doesn’t get too fat.
This next little bit will be familiar with some, so props to you, and the rest will come to know kitten mittens. There’s a little well known show called It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia in which they come up with this ingenious invention. Some of you may not find this too funny, but I assure you, no kitties were hurt in the making of this film. I still wouldn’t do this to my fat little fur ball, especially on a table! If you’re a cat lover you’ll enjoy Charlie Day from the show who has more than a few interesting battles with cats. The humor is quite a bit more on the 18-30 somethings male crowd with also more than enough potty humor, so be warned on that front.
Some dogs just adapt to their surroundings so well, and the next video is a prime example of supreme and fancy foot work. My friends always bring their dogs by which and they’re no where near as good running around hardwood like this white fluffball.
How many dog owners have swung their pooch around their hardwood floors, or at least I was pleased to know others do it as well. I have no idea how bad this is for the floors, I know for sure cheaper hardwood will eventually lose the battle to a decent sized dogs claws.
