Cats vs my furniture...cats 1, furniture 0?

While any piece of upholstery can be re-upholstered, it is always more expensive than buying new. I have always had cats with claws but made sure they have plenty of scratching pads to do their thing and they have never ruined a single piece of furniture. You can also buy clear sticky pads to put on furniture pieces from any pet store to deter them if necessary but I have never had to use those. When having pieces re-upholstered the entire piece has to be done. You cannot just re-do a corner or an area. The fabric will never match. Fabrics go in and out of style and wouldn't be available. So again, what it would cost you to recover the piece will far exceed just buying new. Train your cats. It's easier and less expensive.
