Also question is, how can I protect my leather couch from my cat?
Cover up the Sofa or Chair - One way to prevent damage to your leather furniture from a cat is to cover it up. The cover must be fairly thick so the cat's claws will not penetrate the leather underneath. Furthermore, it must be tight fitting so it won't be pulled off by kitty's claws.
Also, what is the best material for a couch with cats? Puncture-Resistant Upholstery Microfiber, also called microsuede, ultrasuede or faux suede, is one of the most popular materials used on sofas and chairs. The density of the material gives it the ability to stand up to a cat's abusive claws, which also tends to make it less appealing to scratch on.

Will Cat's Claw leather furniture?
The leather used in leather couches is made of fine and densely packed fibers. This means cats can really sink their claws into the material and slough off the dead outer layer of the claw in one dragging motion. So, cats scratching leather may be able to remove the outer sheath of their claws more efficiently.
