We have Pergo too. I think it has held very, very well. No scratches, etc. We had it installed about 7 years ago and it still looks new.

Our cat is an "indoor" cat, however she does have all of her claws, as we are opposed to declawing. We have had no problems at all with kitty and the Pergo!

Agree, please ever consider declawing a cat!

We don't have laminate, but have wood floors everywhere in the house, including kitchen!

Oak is great and no scratches!

Cherry has lots of scratche! Despite the beauty, it's a bad choice for those with large dogs! To the point that we'll be replacing cherry with oak pretty soon (except for in the dining room, where the scratches are not noticible, and if anything add to the character ..).

This is my first indoor cat. I've had him for 3 years and I've just never declawed him because he didn't scratch the furniture or anything. He used the support board under the basement stairs which was fine with us. I'll have to buy scratch posts for this house though.
