Certainly are better. Wooden floors are a big help in the flea deterrent, plus cat poop is easier to clean off of a wooden floor.

It is impossible to breakdance on carpetted floors , hence wooden floors are clearly superior.

if you really need a pee but ur gamin hardcore you can peee on laminate floor and wipe it so this is better imo......

carpets are for squares roflmao!

I hate rug burns. Also, have you ever looked under a rug or replaced carpeting? Having said all that, I prefer travertine.

We like to make nice big sloppy messes in our household.

Rugs are down only where people are expected to be walking barefoot, or where sound needs dampening, such as the bedrooms and the living room.

Living in Italy... I don't even know if people have carpet in this country. All the floors are marble or tile with rugs wherever. It makes cleaning a cinch.

more efficient? yes

but definitely not cooler (cooler as in awesome, sweet, etc.)

Carpets are the way to go , when it comes to noise dampening and harshness on foot.

Some of you may say "aw hes a hippie" but I have say I do prefer a fur, or woolen carpet to synthetic. of cause If it is a high traffic area you should have hard flooring, but you can't meet the sleekness and comfort of carpet
