Yeah, but if you get one with a pokerwork design, you just polish it with some bootpolish and the pin-pricks add to the complexity of the design

I have a leather pouffe with a curious pin prick effect all over!

aka cat claws!

You can get leather pouffes (those stuffed floor cushions) at shops that deal in morroccan goods. They are a nice alternative and would not provide 'sucking' options. But stuffed with something softer than the newspapers that used to be used, would be a nice furniture item as well as a comfy bed for you babes ...

If you hunt in charity shops you will find leather clothing you could make your own from

I fear you may be right

I had a shaggy rug once that was left alone, but don't remember what it was made of

Do they do steel or concrete rugs?

I think I'd better see if my handbags have been sucked

I thought I might cope with a bit of moderate clawing, but don't fancy sucking

but Trigger uses the wool rug currently there as an extra large scratching mat, and pulls strands out all the time

what is there that might be left alone?

Janeyk · « **Reply #10 on:** November 16, 2009, 15:22:27 PM »

I've not seen them, but it does look like those my gran used to make with material, can't remember what they called them

we had a leather rug, sort of looks like a shagpile rug but is strips of leather, is that what you mean ?

If it is, it lasted about 2 weeks, the cats sucked on the leather and it went all hard and sort of stuck together and I am sure it would have been a bit smelly if they had carried on sucking it.

no I've never heard of a leather rug either

Sounds sexy!

Ive never even heard of a leather rug!

Get an old leather coat from a second hand shop and try them out on that first!

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #1 on:** November 16, 2009, 12:38:16 PM »

as my cats have taken to lying on my leather handbags in the wardrobe, I am thinking of getting a leather rug to use by the hearth

does anyone have one, and if so, do their cats respect it, or trash it?
