I got it made and it turned out awesome. If someone can tell me how to post pics via mobile settings I will gladly post a picture. I figured out I can not just link to my photobucket which is my go to for picture sharing on forums.
Oddly enough not one of my five furry hooligans bothered to even give the runner a courtesy sniff let alone lay on it. Even my old man cat hasn't bothered it and he always manages to find a soft spot to lay. Lol he's the first one to fur up a new blanket or heaven forbid sneaks into the clean clothes all stacked and folded.
Next will be a Christmas runner now that I know I can have them without clumps of fur everywhere. Lol
