We had new leather sofas for christmas and the b****y cats have scratched them.

Has anyone got any tips on how to either keep moggies off or repair scratches.

I've tried some shoe polish along the scratces which has helped but they are still visible.

Any bright ideas welcome please

My friend has cats and uses Throws over her leather sofas to protect them.

I found this on google (type cat scratchs on leather sofa)

Well......I always tell my five cats , in a very firm but positive way not to do...what ever they may be doing; e.g molting or scratching or even infesting our house with mice......If that doesn't work,.....go on the rant thread, and if all else fails I sell the new furniture, get an old sofa from the Oxfam shop.......and when it arrives I just say......In a firm but positive voice......"It's your own fault,you should have looked after it."......Hope this helps.

Blessings

Throws with layers of old bedding underneath as claws will still go through as cats do what cats do, failing that banish the cats from the living room. Kids and pets not a great combo for NICE !
