wrote: I'm about to buy a leather sofa. Any advice about training/preventing cats from damaging it? TIA Stuart Reed My experience has been the opposite of those who have already replied. My cats ruined my leather chair. The problem is that when they jump down from the chair, they put out their claws. That puts holes in the seat of the chair. I do not know how they put the long scratches onto the seat, but it was typical cat scratch looking marks. Bottom line in my experience is that cats and leather did not mix well for me. I do have a scratching post, I do trim their back claws properly and they are front declawed. ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
