Well..I must be one very lucky cat owner. Both my boys haven't layed a single claw into my lovely leather sofa!! One of them will only sit on the sofa if his bed is on it....if it's not, he will sit patiently and wait for you to put it on there for him.

The other just lays on it any which way he pleases and doesn't get his claws out at all! Even when he was a kitten he never touched the sofa?
