I don't know what the material is, it feels and looks like suede. I have ywo cats and have no problem (and they keep their claws exta sharp. Love the piece--my sister has one and that is where I got idea to purchase.

That is what we were concerned about as well. We have 3 cats and this type of fabric (synthetic suede?) is the only type that our cats show no interest in scratching. They jump around on it all the time and so far the sofa still looks new. We love it, it is big and comfortable!

We have 3 dogs, 2 of them jack russels, and the sound their claws make on the couch is horrible, but we don't have a scratch, rip or tear and they're on it everyday. We've had the couch since March is all and it's a very nice, easy to clean microfiber material. Can almost guarantee you'll love it!

The plastic seems pretty tough, but it has that brushed fabric feel to it. Cats claws may go through it, but I doubt a dog's claws will - unless they're really determined.

Hi...hope I am of SOME help. Have owned the sofa- love seat for a little over a year. For not being actual leather it is holding up decently, HOWEVER, I do not have children or pets. Don't think it is made for rough-housing. Cushions are holding up well. Use it everyday.

If you can purchase a Scatmat that is longer than your sofa you can drape it across both arms while placing it on the seat cushions. You would probably have to purchase one for the back if your cat can jump the depth of the sofa or jump up the back. We found the "medium" setting works for our dogs. Good luck!

Probably not. It's a heavy weave fabric, but any fabric is chewable to strong dog teeth.

The fabric is plush. We have had ours since the middle of December and we have 4 cats. It has held up great so far.

The bottom looks to be very durable, not sure of the fabric type, but the bed is very well made, thick and plush. I doubt it could be chewed through. It's made as a typical pet bed with thick padding on bottom and sides.

Hi there, its a thin black mesh material. Not ideal for floating the sofa in the room. Also the material faux leather smelled like motor oil (?) And it did not disapate even after airing. We ended up returning the sofa.

It's a heavy fabric. You should be able to repair it. I doubt it will tear though.

I don't know. I think it would depend on the sofa. Does it have a fabric finish? I have a leather sofa and I think it might work better on leather as it's a harder surface, but I'll sample it and get back to you. Thanks.

Not sure. My cat doesn't sxratch furniture but the fabric is not s stiff tight weave so it might not be

No. I'm using on a fake leather sofa material now and it doesn't stay put. No paw print backing.

Katherine, I think it would be. I only have dogs now, but remember my cat's behavior in the past. If you're worried about scratching and kneeding, the material is thick enough their little nails shouldn't destroy the product. Spraying is another problem because this item would need to be handwashed in a kitchen sink. Can't guarantee it, though. Good luck.

It's a good cloth covering for your furniture for protecting from pet fur, however, anything wet....saliva, throw-up, urine, etc. will go right through fabric and onto the upholstery or leather. For that reason I had to also buy puppy pads and put them on the sofa underneath the covers. Not an ideal solution for what I needed them for.

I will try to answer your question. I believe it is Sunbrella fabric. It appears to be a good quality. My cushions are put away for the winter but I believe they are 3". The assembly was very easy. Furniture is very light weight.

I have cats it holds up to the clawing they do but a dog does a different type of damage. A dog may be able to push it loose but that us more about how the door secures the screen. Works great for cats.

I think it will be tough enough for a semi feral cat. It's pretty heavy synthetic material. My cat has scratched at it and it hasn't been damaged - I've had the tent for about 9 months.
