Protecting leather furniture

I think the biggest worry would be *if* they like to sit on it (mine aren't
super fond of the couch unless there is a soft throw on it) is accidental
scratching by jumping off it. I would invest in a pretty throw (can be had
cheaply from target or walmart etc.) kept on it. Also, if they have a
favorite scratching pole or tree, if they would show signs of wanting to
scratch (leather isn't terribly attractive; no texture) put it nearby.


Try using a citrus scented spray on it as a deterrent as well. Worked
for my Christmas tree...

My wonder product for ceasing peeing on furniture! Haven't wanted to try it on
the leather though - may not be very good for it. I keep scat mats on the
leather. Scratching has never ben an issue on the leather (but it isn't on the
cloth either...)

Our cats hate the smell of cocoa butter body lotion so ive just got some
rubbed into the leather around the bottom and they won't even go near it

But would a scat mat keep a cat from clawing the side of the couch?
