Cats scratch; it's part of their innate behavior. It's easier to prevent a cat from scratching your leather furniture in the first place than it is to train her to use the scratching post after she already started scratching your furniture. But it is possible to retrain a cat.
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.
Subsequently, one may also ask, are leather couches good with cats?
Splurge on Leather Hair doesn't stick, it's easy to wipe odor off, and there's nothing for cats to sink their claws into. As such, leather is a solid choice if you're trying to prevent your cat from going in on your furniture, simply because it won't enjoy it as a scratching post.
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.
