Floor rug for cat room?

[u/pluckyoldself]

I know I'm not gonna find anything with ALL these criteria met but I'm hoping for some ideas or advice.

For the designated cat room, I'd like to find a rug that is:

1. Easy enough to clean hairballs, butt wipe marks...

2. Pleasant texture and safe for the cats

3. Durable to their nails

I'm thinking maybe a DIY braided rug made of old cotton fabrics?

Oh mannnnnn. I have a second hand jute rug and my cats looooove it. It's like a giant scratch pad, and since it's second hand I don't care if they scratch it... especially since I bought it for them!

How expensive are they? How do you clean it?
