This will be in an area with cats. Are they durable enough that they should withstand a reasonable amount of clawing? I get it won't be perfect but don't want it to end up only lasting a night.
Our 8mm Strong Rubber Tiles are very durable and would be able to withstand a cat clawing on the tiles without being destroyed. These tiles are used in areas where heavy abuse is expected. Some of the places these tiles have been in baseball dugouts, in sports locker rooms, and much more.
