# Clawed Welcome Rugs The 'Beware of Cat' Doormat Prevents a Hairy Situation By Meghan Young | Published 2010-08-23 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beware-of-cat-doormat References: [bookofjoe](http://www.bookofjoe.com/2010/08/beware-of-cat-doormat.html) & [hometerritory](http://www.hometerritory.com/d/Doormats/Beware-Of-Cat-Doormat-B002TI0Q50.htm) Just as females can be more vicious than men, cats can be scarier than dogs and this is captured quite succinctly in the Beware of Cat Doormat. I've been clawed by a cat before (albeit, by accident), and it wasn't a pleasant experience to say the least, so a little warning would have been nice. Sold for $13, the Beware of Cat Doormat could prevent a hairy situation, if you get my drift. At the very least, your guests will have a good chuckle over it as they enter your relatively safe home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 24% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/pets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Pet-themed Doormats:** Opportunity for businesses to create doormats with witty and humorous pet-related messages that cater to pet owners' unique humor and experiences. - **Novelty Entryway Decor:** Businesses can explore opportunities to create unconventional entryway decor that adds personality and humor to homes and businesses alike. - **Humorous Warning Signs:** Opportunity for businesses to create humorous warning signs that combine safety and humor, catering to customers that fearlessly embrace the quirky side of life. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** The home decor industry can capitalize on creating unique and humorous entryway decor to add a touch of personality and humor to customers' homes. - **Pet Industry:** The pet industry can explore opportunities to create humorous pet-themed doormats that cater to pet owners' sense of humor and experiences. - **Safety Industry:** The safety industry can create humorous warning signs that combine safety and humor, catering to customers that embrace the quirky side of life while ensuring their safety. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Halloween-Themed Cat Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raw-emotions-2.md) - [Washable Pet Carpets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dayspring-mat.md) - [Prey-Detecting Smart Cat Doors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-door-with-prey-detection.md) - [Patterned Luxe Progressive Doormats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-outlier.md) - [Subscription-Based Pet Doors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onlycat.md) - [AI-Powered Cat Doors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flappie.md) - [L-Shaped Pet Scratching Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/catvas.md) - [Autonomous Cat-Grooming Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pawswing-purrring.md) - [Cat-Friendly Air Purifiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wisesky-wcat-air-purifier.md)
