Why Does My Cat Always Barf On My Rugs Instead Of Linoleum Or The Hardwood Floor?

My cat has a bad hairball problem, and whenever the seasons change she’ll have barfing episodes almost every day for weeks. Okay here’s the part that really boggles my mind:
Our house is all hardwood floor, with linoleum in the kitchen and the bathrooms. We have a few throw rugs here and there. Now, out of all the places to puke, she ALWAYS chooses to puke on one of the various throw rugs in the house. One time I saw her retching and I picked her up and put her on the linoleum and she ran back to the throw rug and hurled, refusing to barf on bare floor. I really wish she would barf on the hardwood or the linoleum because then I could just quickly wipe it up instead of having to pre-treat and wash the rugs all the time. Does anyone know why cats prefer puking on carpet vs. bare floor surfaces?
