Re: advice on pet "safe" furniture? - ka jowct - 10-07-2012 Matt, consider getting a futon sofa. One of my friends has one and has never had a problem with her cats (foster cats and permanent residents) clawing the futon. Something about the futon cover and the futon itself just doesn't appeal to them the way more typical sofa fabrics do.

Maybe that's true where you live, but it doesn't seem to apply to apartment-dwelling humans in NYC. My friend's sofa is very comfortable, and it's unscathed by the cats. She's gone the futon route for quite a few years now, with the same positive result. It's far preferable to declawing a cat or replacing your sofa every couple of years because it's been shredded.
