Catproof Office Chair?
I'm looking at replacing my main office chair for my home office and would
like to find a replacement made of materials that are cat-proof. Just to be clear, I'm not looking for a chair that will _repel_ cats; I'm perfectly fine with them sleeping on that chair. I just want a chair that they won't destroy with their claws. One of my cat often gets on my guest chair and digs his claws into the seat; it's pretty badly damaged. He also shredded the back of my previous main chair. He just loves to stretch up to the top of the chair back and rake his claws downward. (And yes, I have both a scratching post and a scratching pad nearby.) There must be materials that they simply don't like and will leave alone but I'm not sure what to look for. It would really help me to find out which materials they will leave alone so that I can get a chair made (mostly) of that product. Any suggestions? What has worked for you? -- Rhino |

Catproof Office Chair?
Micro fiber and a good set of often used clippers.

Tightly-woven materials might also help, but in my experience are no guarantee that some cat won't love them. I tend to use double-sided tape (which someone here suggestsed) in the most vulnerable spots, but that won't help if they scratch the seat. Materials other than wood are good for the main structure of the chair, too. My cats love wood even more than their scratching posts. -- Cheryl |

microfiber, tolerates cats well, but is as nonfireproof as it gets, soft

Pit2nya and her predecessor Dyna (RB) were fine with the living room
recliners AND the 2 office chairs, all leather. An occasional clawprick when getting up into the recliner, but we've had them for 10 years and they are going strong (The chairs that is).
