Default Flooring recommendations requested when carpet and tile share same space

Our new spec home has an L shape living-dining area with carpet in the larger living area (ugh!) and porcelain tile in the dining and adjacent kitchen area. Two cats and carpet don't mix even if I did like it but I'm not sure if I want cold tile all the way through. Putting in a nice hardwood or quality laminate would work and match our furniture if it was in the mid brown tones but I'm concerned about a chopped up look and don't like the washed out woods that would match the tile.

I was informed that they put down a cement layer under the dining area tile that would be very expensive to rip up if I chose to replace that area with something else but it is an option albeit expensive.

What have others done?
