| None of my cats bother the leather chairs we have. However, none
of them are real furniture scratchers, either, since they much prefer
their scratching post.
The only problem we have with the leather is when Sly (a real
chunk of a cat) decides to play astronaut kitty, and blasts off
from the top of one of the leather chairs. That usually leaves little
pinprick marks, but they are barely noticeable.

| Aja regularly does the claw act on anything handy. While I don't
have any leather furniture, I do have a couple leather jackets.
Occasionally she'll jump up on my shoulder and, thought not clawing
at it, will leave a little mark just from holding on. I'd suspect
it would be the same for leather furniture.
I don't think she'd ever harm leather. She just loves it. Methinks
she has a fetish....

I hate to say this, after hearing all of the good stories about
cats and leather, but my Fiance's cat loves leather. She completely
ruined his leather jacket. There are claw marks all down the back
where she tried to "do her nails". Well, as the say, No two cats
are alike. Good luck with your furniture.

| as with the first three our cats do not touch the leather furniture
even though they go nuts on anything with a cloth covering.

| Robin,
Wanna come by and see my leather chair and otterman?? The boys
all love it. While they don't openly claw it (the scratching posts
are much better for that!), they do use it as a launching pad and
as a result, it's pretty scratched up. At least it's easy to get
the cat fur off!!
Maybe it depends on the leather....mine is covered with alleged
"glove leather"...easily marked, perhaps. I think that when they
jump on it, the smooth surface tends to make the "landing gear"
slide. I dunno...I wouldn't buy another one myself.
