That comfort doesn\u2019t take away from its support, though. It feels high quality, and like it\u2019ll stand the test of time. The same goes for the fabric. It\u2019s soft enough against the skin while also being incredibly durable,\u201d she says. But the same can\u2019t be said for her Maine Coon\u2019s lounging. \u201cOliver isn\u2019t as much attracted to sitting on it, which is a major benefit for me (because less pet hair cleaning),\u201d Hanson says. Unlike Oliver, her Siamese cat, Coco, loves the new couch, but she finds it easy to remove the hair with her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/article\/chomchom-roller\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ChomChom roller;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;ChomChom roller&quot;}\" class=\"link \">ChomChom roller<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">With nearly 140 slipcover fabrics to choose from, there\u2019s an option for whatever your needs are. For particularly active cats who love to scratch, one of the performance or premium performance fabrics is likely your best choice, as it will prove the most durable. Chenille is tightly woven and can work with house cats, as can twill. We love boucle fabric, but it tends to attract kitty claws, so it\u2019s perhaps not the best fit for this purpose. Linen is less durable and tends to wrinkle; velvet will hold onto pet hair more than other options.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">While Pottery Barn furniture doesn\u2019t come cheap, Hanson believes that this couch is worth the price. Especially because she can easily remove, wash and replace the slipcovers as needed. \u201cIt\u2019s a big investment upfront, as many couches are, but there\u2019s a reason for it. Its quality construction makes me confident that it\u2019ll last for years to come,\u201d she says.

The modern-meets-mid-century home goods brand takes pride in designing family-friendly yet interior design-worthy pieces of furniture for everyone. They even offer several kid- and pet-friendly fabrics, including nine cat-friendly options. The Maxwell 3-Seat Sofa, one of its bestsellers, is an excellent option for anyone desiring a velvet couch, as the Performance Plush Velvet is the perfect intersection of luxury and functionality.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">The Maxwell can be completely customized to suit your needs and preferences. There are more than 150 upholstery options, more than 35 leg varieties, multiple lengths and depths for each piece, and various seat cushion fills to choose from. According to Derwin, having a vast array of choices can make it more difficult to make a decision. \u201cI knew I wanted performance velvet because of all of its cat-friendly benefits, but there were so many colors that I found it hard to decide,\u201d she writes in her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/article\/interior-define-sofa\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Interior Define Sofa review;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Interior Define Sofa review&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Interior Define Sofa review<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m only 5 feet tall, so choosing the standard depth was easy.

Since each couch is custom-made to order, the standard delivery window is 10 to 12 weeks. \u201cFrom the day I ordered my couch to the day it arrived was almost exactly 10 weeks,\u201d writes Derwin. She was pleasantly surprised when the couch arrived fully assembled, except for the legs, which the white-glove delivery team attached once they got the couch inside. Derwin was immediately impressed by its soft-to-the-touch feel, chic design and bright white color. She was delighted to find that the couch was as comfortable as it was beautiful. Zola seemed to agree and immediately curled up in a ball right in the center of the sofa\u2019s middle seat cushion. She hasn\u2019t strayed far from it since.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">After weeks of watching her cat lounge and knead at the new couch, Derwin believed it was only a matter of time before she sunk her claws into it. Thankfully, she was wrong. \u201cI am truly surprised, yet impressed, that the performance velvet is living up to all of the \u2018cat-proof\u2019 hype,\u201d she writes. \u201cIf she\u2019s tried it even once, I haven\u2019t noticed. There\u2019s not a claw mark on it, and I am optimistic it might stay that way for the foreseeable future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Derwin, who settled on a bright white couch, was also surprised by how easy it was to keep clean. \u201cAll of the visible cat hair comes off in just one swipe of my reusable lint roller or one pass with my Tineco pet hair-friendly vacuum cleaner,\u201d she explains. That\u2019s because the performance velvet material she chose has short threads and a minimal pile, which means it releases pet hair easily instead of trapping it the way many other materials do. Not only that, but it\u2019s also stain-resistant and liquid-resistant, making it easy to clean should there be any hairballs or accidents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px]

Higley<\/a> is mom to Winona, a mostly white cat who lives to scratch.\u00a0Direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand Burrow takes making cat-proof couches so seriously that they even 3D-printed a claw and ran it against the fabric thousands of times to ensure it is both scratch- and stain-resistant. Higley had to see if it could stand up to Winona and ordered the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1594237&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fburrow.com%2Fnomad-fabric%2Fsofa-sectional\" data-i13n=\"elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Burrow Block Nomad sofa sectional;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;affiliate_link&quot;,&quot;yAffiliateService&quot;:&quot;premonetized&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Burrow Block Nomad sofa sectional&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" class=\"link \">Burrow Block Nomad sofa sectional<\/a> in dark gray fabric with walnut legs and square armrests. She notes that the chaise can be installed on the right or left side, or it can be removed altogether and replaced by a third standard cushioned seat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Higley found that assembly was straightforward, and this couch took between 60 and 90 minutes to build. However, she did struggle with the lever system that clamps together pieces like the backrests and armrests. \u201cIt\u2019s a good concept, in theory, but a remarkable amount of force is required to lock them in, and my boyfriend pinched himself a couple of times in the process,\u201d explains Higley.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Higley loves the way this couch looked in her home, especially since she had given up on her dream of owning a sectional due to the spatial constraints of her apartment. \u201cI would recommend this couch to other apartment dwellers, too, because it\u2019s incredibly reasonably sized for a sectional,\u201d she raves. And while she admits that this isn\u2019t a couch you can sink into, she insists that this couch is comfier than it looks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">\u201cThe cushions, albeit thin, have quite a bit of give to them, so they\u2019re pleasant, even for hours\u2019 worth of sitting, and the angled backrests and cushions offer a decent amount of low-back support,\u201d she explains. \u201cAdditionally, so much of why it\u2019s comfortable to my boyfriend and me is that it\u2019s spacious. We can comfortably lounge and laze on this couch together (with Winnie, too!), and there\u2019s still room to spare.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Cat sits calmly on gray sofa in a decorative basket, surrounded by pillows, a coffee table, and a patterned rug in a living room.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"fig-image-round\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/kUbhkJNRCNsXo6x5e3sFjQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/reader_s_digest_624\/2c9eb44d5e51b01bbbb4a2418aa32d53\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;expand&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;image-lightbox&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;lightbox-open&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"common.MODAL_DIALOG_A11Y_LABEL\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Speaking of Winona, who Higley affectionately refers to as a Certified Scratcher, it goes without saying that this Burrow couch was really put to the test. Winona religiously scratched the arms of this couch for months. While there was some wear and tear, Higley found that the damage was not nearly as noticeable of the damage that her last couch incurred.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">\u201cI think the darker fabric, with its corrugation, helped conceal the tears, but the fabric did also just generally seem a bit more scratch-resistant than a standard couch,\u201d she says. \u201cIt looks great still, especially after some sprucing, but a keen observer might notice the scratches on the arms and the sporadic cat hairs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Something you may want to consider before buying this couch is the fact that you\u2019ll likely have to invest in a good <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rd.com\/list\/pet-hair-removers-that-really-work\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:pet hair remover;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;pet hair remover&quot;}\" class=\"link \">pet hair remover<\/a>. Although Burrow recommends a vacuum and a lint roller, Higley found that she was only able to remove about 90% of Winona\u2019s white fur with her vacuum. \u201cWinnie marks the corners of this couch a lot, so there\u2019s a more significant buildup of hair on the corners and edges, and the fur is much harder to clean with the vacuum on those spots than, say, the cushions,\u201d she says. The lint roller was ineffective when it came to removing stray cat hairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Another thing that really impressed Higley was how easy this couch is to clean. Over the course of several months, Higley had to spot-clean some sour cream and a hairball. \u201cSuper pleased with how this cleaned up. I could see the spot scrubbing off pretty immediately with the towel,\u201d says Higley when describing the sour cream spill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Overall, Higley deems this pet-friendly couch a worthy addition to a home or apartment. \u201cWinnie was able to have her way with this couch a bit, but it still looks totally presentable, especially after I trimmed some of the frayed strands and used a fabric shaver over the area. And it still serves as an attractive statement piece in our living room,\u201d she raves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0

That said, Way notes that the velvet material does little to repel cat hair. \u201cMy cats delight in spreading their multicolored fur <em>all<\/em> over this couch,\u201d she quips.

Robicelli<\/a>, has been through <em>a lot<\/em> of couches. She decided that it was finally time to invest in a couch that could meet the demands of her family and opted to test the <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1594237&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2F7thavenue.co%2Fcollections%2Fsectionals%2Fproducts%2F4-seat-modular-corner-sectional%3Fvariant%3D43732272218355\" data-i13n=\"elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:7th Avenue 4-seat modular corner sectional;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;affiliate_link&quot;,&quot;yAffiliateService&quot;:&quot;premonetized&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;7th Avenue 4-seat modular corner sectional&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" class=\"link \">7th Avenue 4-seat modular corner sectional<\/a>. And while this couch costs a pretty penny, Robicelli feels that it\u2019s worth it. It\u2019s often referred to as the best RH Cloud Couch dupe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">She was impressed by this couch immediately after it was delivered, noting that in spite of its size, it was much easier to assemble than any couch she had ever purchased from Ikea or Wayfair. She and her son were able to assemble it themselves in an hour, though she adds that 7th Avenue will also coordinate assembly for an additional charge. Right away, she also appreciated the couch\u2019s simple, utilitarian design, which makes it especially easy to style with blankets or throw pillows.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">But what really delighted Robicelli was how comfortable this couch is. \u201cThis is the most comfortable couch I\u2019ve ever owned,\u201d she raves. \u201cThe seats are not too hard, not too soft. I opted for extra-firm for the pillows, which meant the company sent me a bag of extra fill I could add myself as I saw fit. I used all of it, since I have large teenage boys and knew this couch would take a beating. Even with the fill, it feels durable, but not \u2018hard.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">This couch comes in three fabrics\u2014textured weave, crossweave and performance velvet\u2014and 10 colors. Robicelli opted for the performance velvet in cobalt blue. And while she admits that the couch is covered in cat hair thanks to one cat in particular, she is able to remove it quickly and easily, thanks to an inexpensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Upunroot-Cleaner-Remover-Fabric-Carpet\/dp\/B0BGS9MCT1?tag=readerwp-20\" data-i13n=\"elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized\" rel=\"sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Amazon pet hair remover;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;affiliate_link&quot;,&quot;yAffiliateService&quot;:&quot;premonetized&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Amazon pet hair remover&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" class=\"link \">Amazon pet hair remover<\/a>. Moreover, her cats sleep, play and scratch all over this couch, and after months of use and abuse, it shows no signs of wear. \u201cThere\u2019s no trace of any damage\u2014yet. You can\u2019t see a single scratch mark or even pilling on the fabric where they\u2019re trying to grab,\u201d says Robicelli. \u201cIt\u2019s been about two months, and it looks brand new.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"A cat explores a blue couch in a living room, decorated with framed wall art and a window showing a cityscape.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"fig-image-round\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/jYlDRbw5iPq_OpFVFgnDbg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTY0MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/reader_s_digest_624\/218061d0dd921cb0ff4ae1197b3c3f50\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;expand&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;image-lightbox&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;lightbox-open&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"common.MODAL_DIALOG_A11Y_LABEL\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Robicelli\u2019s cats aren\u2019t the only ones who are rough on her couch.

According to Bree Steele, Interior Designer &amp; Trade Accounts Manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=131817X1594237&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rjliving.com.au%2F&amp;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rd.com%2Flist%2Fcat-proof-couches%2F\" rel=\"sponsored\" data-i13n=\"elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:RJ Living;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;affiliate_link&quot;,&quot;yAffiliateService&quot;:&quot;premonetized&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;RJ Living&quot;,&quot;yHasCommerce&quot;:false}\" class=\"link \">RJ Living<\/a>, \u201cMore homeowners are investing in pet-friendly performance fabrics like Crypton and high-density woven materials that resist scratching. Tightly woven linen blends, tweed and structured fabrics deter claws, making them perfect for cat owners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">This shift aligns with a larger movement toward investing in high-quality, long-lasting furniture rather than constantly replacing worn-out pieces. With sustainability and practicality in mind, cat-proof couches are not just about function\u2014they\u2019re also stylish, comfortable, and built to last.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">What to look for when buying a cat-proof couch<\/h2>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Couches are an investment, so there are a few things you should consider before making your purchase, especially when you have a pet in the home:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"col-body mb-4\">\n<li class=\"list-mb ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-[[fullbleed-start_body-start]_auto_[body-end_fullbleed-end]]\">\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\"><strong>Price:<\/strong> Start by figuring out your budget for a new couch. The couches on our list range from under $500 to several thousand dollars.

Consider a performance fabric or leather sofa that\u2019s easy to clean. You can also look for couches with removable cushion covers or slipcovers that you can toss in the wash as needed. Additionally, consider buying a couch made of velvet, microfiber, or some performance fabric. These fabrics don\u2019t have pullable fibers, which makes them better for cats who like to scratch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-mb ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-[[fullbleed-start_body-start]_auto_[body-end_fullbleed-end]]\">\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\"><strong>Size and configurations:<\/strong> Measure your space before ordering a couch to ensure it\u2019ll fit. Not sure exactly what you\u2019re looking for? Opt for a couch with multiple configuration options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"list-mb ml-4 list-disc\">\n<div class=\"grid grid-cols-[[fullbleed-start_body-start]_auto_[body-end_fullbleed-end]]\">\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\"><strong>Ease of cleaning:<\/strong> Couches get dirty from daily use, especially when they\u2019re the favorite napping spot for cats (or kids). If you don\u2019t want to have to pay for regular professional upholstery cleaning, ensure that the fabric you choose can stand up to lint rollers (for pet hair) and spot cleaning for accidents.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">How we chose the best cat-proof furniture<\/h2>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">As shopping experts, our only job is to help you find a winning product. For this article, we selected couches from reputable brands and sent them to the homes of our cat-loving editors and testers. Our testers assessed everything from the ordering process and delivery to assembly and comfort. They paid special attention to how well each couch fared when used as a bed and scratching post by their feline companions and how easy each couch was to clean.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">After several months of testing, each tester provided detailed feedback on their experience.

Finally, it serves as an important means of communication for cats by leaving a visual and scented mark everywhere that they scratch.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-mb col-body text-[1.125rem]\/[1.375rem] font-bold charcoal-color\">How can you keep cats from scratching furniture?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">O\u2019Callaghan recommends providing cats with appropriate alternatives, such as scratching posts or pads near the furniture they usually target. You can also make the furniture less appealing by using covers, double-sided tape or sprays that deter scratching. She adds that keeping your cat\u2019s claws trimmed and offering regular enrichment and play can reduce their need to scratch furniture.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">McCarthy says that plastic nail caps can blunt a cat\u2019s scratching capability. \u201cThese caps, which are non-toxic if swallowed by your cat, typically need to be replaced every four to six weeks and may also require a trip to a groomer or veterinarian to be applied,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading-mb col-body text-[1.125rem]\/[1.375rem] font-bold charcoal-color\">What type of couch fabric is best for cat owners?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Some fabrics are more resistant to cat scratches. According to O\u2019Callaghan, microfiber, microsuede and leather are generally better choices because they are less likely to snag or show damage. \u201cFabrics with a tight weave are also less appealing for cats to scratch. Avoid loose-weave fabrics like linen or tweed, which are easier for cats to sink their claws into,\u201d she advises.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">Why you should trust us<\/h2>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Here at\u00a0<em>Reader\u2019s Digest<\/em>, we love our cats.
