According to 2024 data from the American Pet Products Association (APPA), 49 million U.S. households own a cat—a 23% increase from the year before.* As more families welcome feline companions into their homes, the need for durable, low-maintenance, and pet-conscious flooring continues to grow.
From playful zoomies to the occasional accident or sun-drenched nap spot, life with a cat requires flooring that can handle daily wear while maintaining style and comfort. While no flooring is completely cat-proof, Landmark Interiors offers premium solutions that strike the perfect balance between resilience and design.
Which Flooring is Best for Cats?
Each cat-friendly flooring type from Landmark Interiors offers unique benefits depending on your cat’s habits and where the flooring will be installed.
| Use Case | Recommended Flooring | Why It Works |
| Rooms your cat runs, naps, or lounges in | Luxury Vinyl Plank | Scratch-resistant and fade-resistant surface handles zoomies, sunbathing, and spills. |
| Stylish spaces with calm or older cats | Engineered Hardwood | Real wood look with anti-scratch finish—great for quiet cats and design-focused spaces. |
Explore Cat-Friendly Flooring from Landmark Interiors
Landmark Interiors flooring collections support real life—including the kind that includes paws, tails, and a bit of mischief. Below are three standout options for households with cats.
Luxury Vinyl Tile & Plank (LVT/LVP)
Ideal for high-traffic, high-moisture areas like kitchens and laundry rooms, our LVT and LVP collections—including Hilltop and Terrain—offer the durability cat owners need. These planks feature a scratch-resistant wear layer and a waterproof construction that’s easy to maintain, even after water bowl spills or litter box misses.
Fade-resistant technology helps keep floors vibrant in sunny windowsills, and the smooth surface makes it easy to clean up fur or tracked litter.
Engineered Hardwood
If you’re drawn to natural hardwood and live with more relaxed or older cats, our engineered hardwood collections—such as City of Oaks and Country Oaks—deliver warmth and timeless beauty. These floors are protected with a durable urethane wear layer to reduce minor scratches and fading. They’re an excellent choice for quieter spaces like bedrooms or formal dining rooms.
What to Look for in Cat-Friendly Flooring
When choosing flooring for a cat-filled home, scratch resistance should be a priority. Products with urethane or ceramic-enhanced wear layers, like those from Landmark Interiors, help protect against daily claw marks. Moisture resistance is also key. Look for tightly locked seams or sealed surfaces to guard against accidents or spills.
Many of our products come with long-term residential warranties for added peace of mind. And because indoor air quality matters for both pets and people, our flooring options are available with GREENGUARD and FloorScore® certifications.
Tips to Keep Your Floors Looking Their Best
Simple daily habits go a long way in preserving your floors:
- Keep claws trimmed to minimize scratching.
- Use mats under food and water bowls to contain messes.
- Add washable rugs in high-traffic areas to reduce wear and add traction.
- Clean with pet-safe products and follow our care guidelines to protect your finish and warranty.
With thoughtful maintenance and the right flooring solution, you can keep your home looking polished and comfortable for both you and your feline family members, day after day.
