advice on pet "safe" furniture?

[Uncle Wig]

First you must realize that your sofa will not remain pristine. Eventually kitty will scratch it and puke on it.

But I've heard microfiber holds up pretty well. I'm not crazy about the look, but I am considering for some reupholstery myself.

My cats love these flat cardboard scratchers I get at Trader Joe's. That has taken a lot of pressure off the furniture.
