The cat in question takes great delight in sharpening her claws on the corner of our sofa and on the piano stool's fabric top. She occasionally attacks the carpet, but never wood and (apparently) never vinyl.<br> <br> We're considering changing the fabric sofa for a leather one since the old one is dying of old age, but we're worried about pest's claws. Will she shred it or will she ignore it? The sofa salesman seems to think it's unlikely due to the comparative smoothness of the leather, but he <i>does</i> have an interest in us buying a leather sofa.<br> <br> Any opinions? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.34613 Sat, 18 Mar 2006 11:49:14 -0800 cat leather leathersofa scratching scratchpost sofa twine42
