I have four cats - ages 4-14 yr.s old - they are sharing my sewing room with me - put everything away at end of the day - I have problems with hair and litter dust - they are all declawed - all four paws and never go outdoors, and not allowed in our bedroom. All new quilts are washed dried and put into trash bags and stored in closet. They have never torn up anything. They are well taken care of and spend days and nights in their room.
