Know why I love hardwood floors?

The short answer is because they are easy to clean.

The long answer is because when your hunter kitty slips past you with his maimed bunny rabbit catch who is dripping blood and who hops from the back door, through the living room, through the dining room, through the kitchen, to the back hallway and back to the kitchen, the blood splatters are easy to remove with your handy-dandy Shark steam mop!
