My cat uses his teeth to grab the loops in the carpet and has torn them loose from the backing. Is there any way to fix this?

you will have to call a carpet installer and they will cut out the bad spot and replace it with another piece.hopefully you have saved some of the carpet from when it was originally installed because it is impossible to get an exact match for carpet that is already installed.if not they may be able to use a piece from a closet.but in either event i wouldnt expect any miracles

I have the same "issue". it is really impossible the re - attach the pulled loop back into the carpet without taking up the carpet. I have been cutting the loop , insert the scissors and cut the loop leaving the same amount of fiber in the two remaining pieces. I then knot the two ends down as far as I can get the knot, and snip the ends above the knot. I thought when I first tried this it would be noticeable, its really is not. I have to do this about once a month a find a snag , and if I do not knot it and cut it my vacuum will pull the snag , creating a very noticeable "run" in the carpet.
