Cats and leather sofas....
Moving house and as the cats have torn lumps out of the old fabric sofa I need to get a new one.
They have not touched a leather stool type thing we have... My question - we've never had a leather sofa - are the cats less likely to scratch this as it's leather? The sofa's not cheap and it'll do my head in if they tear this one up as well! Any thoughts? Thanks |

only kittens head to the leather in my experience, the other ones aren't remotely interested, we are thinking about a new sofa and will be getting leather again, they wrecked an old fabric one

Our cats never meddled with the leather sofa--they really like the scratching pole thingy. Made a real mess of the rattan-type linen box, though.

my evil (and I mean evil) cat has scratched the living daylights out of the leather sofa- she is however a very angry cat and tries to kill everything and everyone- shes about 3-4 years old so not a kitten just the devil reincarnated.

What is up with that? When I got a new scratch pole, the cats went mad for it, now it's a little worse for wear they're tearing up the sofa.

Use nail-clippers to trim off their claws?
