Hi there >My question is, does anyone have any suggestions for something to put down >that is like paper, but not so smooth? Sure! At the grocery store, you can purchase bed or chair-sized incontinence pads. They're nice because they're plastic on the bottom and a soft cotton-like material on the top. If you don't want to let all the grocery store folks think that you have an incontinence problem, you can purchase the same sort of thing from a pet store, but they're labeled as puppy training pads and they're a bit more expensive usually.
