We do have a cat but she is old and for the most part stays out of my

carpet itself is a 5'x10' area rug that has my desk chair on it as well as
one of the legs from my desk. The carpet doesn't move, but the layout sure
does. I was just looking at it again, it was probably moved three to four
inches in a two week period of time.
