Hello drmolly,

We're so sorry to hear about that! Although we absolutely love our pets, and strive to make their comfort and presence a huge consideration in our design, occasionally pets do cause damage to furnishings and carpets.

Depending on the kind of damage the cat has done, you may be able to get a professional to patch or repair any spots that are worn or torn out.

If repeated repair isn't an option, it's best to train your cat to scratch and claw at a scratching post or another safe destroyable object so it may be deterred from using this beautiful carpet to sharpen its claws. There are also many options, such as trimming the nails or using claw "caps" to prevent shredding by the cat simply running up and down the stairs, as well.

Hope this helps, and best of luck!
