How about just ripping it out and putting in indoor outdoor sisal
carpet of your choice of color? Cats love it. It's one big
scratching post.

Never underestimate the power of a Cone Head family. (consume mass
quantities of (paint)).

In FL they're called Florida rooms. In the penitentiary they're called
rubber rooms.

To be honest, no, I've had no experience with this, but it sounds pretty
crazy to me. Suggestion: if you really want to find out, get yourself a
scrap of carpet and try painting it to see what happens. My guess is you
won't be pleased with the result.

the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and
doodle. It is balder and dash."

Dumb idea. You don't paint carpet, you dye it.
Your wife doesn't want to paint your old clothes, does she?
