Simple as that we ve all been there but let s get real.
Cat scratch resistant fabric.
In addition to metal frames and scratch resistant upholstery providing other cat friendly items for your cat to climb and scratch on acts as an additional deterrent from abusing the furniture.
Some of them might surprise you but these are the fabrics.
When your sofa is clad in a tightly woven fabric like suede designer and fellow cat owner michael formica s pick or a synthetic indoor outdoor material your cat will have a harder time getting.
Not all cats scratch furniture.
Look for fully upholstered pieces with wood or metal recessed legs.
Cats naturally have to scratch and trim their claws in the process and while you can buy scratching posts from pet supply stores there are times when your cat would.
Even if you become the dog whisperer and are indeed successful in keeping him off the sofa it doesn t necessarily mean it will stay clean.
I rubbed the material with the pin briskly and then simulated my cat getting claw stuck in fabric.
The best fabrics are ultrasuede and leather because a cat.
When that luxurious velvet sofa catches your gaze for the first time it s easy to think i can totally do this fido will learn that he is not allowed up.
I just got the fabric swatches from joybird and did a pin test with the sunbrella swatches and it looks bad really bad.
In fact i just pin tested about 50 swatches and i would say bently daisy comes in first synergy pewter 2nd prime stone 3rd.
If the cat has been declawed or prefers a scratching post to furniture fur and dander may be more of a problem.
I ve only ever had one cat thus far and maybe if i had 5 6 for around a decade i d see a lot more of the material s true colours but i m pretty convinced if it isn t completely scratch proof it s at least one of the best or the outright best sofa material when it comes to weathering cat scratches.
There are plenty of fabrics that won t hold onto any weird odors your pup might leave behind or show scratches from your cat either.
