HELP: Repairing carpet damaged by cat?
Hi DIY! So I'm looking to move out of my apartment soon. This is my first apartment so I'm not sure how strict the standards are for being able to keep your deposit. I'm worried about this corner of the carpet that my cat tore up by my bathroom door, I'm assuming it's severe enough to lose my deposit so I was curious if it may be possible to repair myself and hope that it isn't too noticeable?
It's a bit of a double whammy because I'd both like to get my security deposit back, but also relatively recently got this cat and did not disclose it to the apartment management (dumb decision, I know), so I'd like to do what I can to hide that fact as well if possible lol.
