the cats dont intentionally scratch the furniture, its just wear from
their
rear claws when launching off the couches.


Ahh, I see! We have a great thick blend fabric on our couch that
does not show any holes at all. In fact, a natural fabric or blend
with a looser weave (not totally smooth) might be what you want.

my wife cant stand my left over bachelor looking black leather stuff,
and while the cats havent pierced it, its pretty scratched up. she's
wondering about microfiber, but the stuff im familiar with would
get destroyed in two seconds.
