Cat Proof...Ok, Cat Resistant Furniture - 08/13/10 04:06 PM
 After spending so much time indoors recently because of the heat,  I realize my living room chairs are TIRED, real tired. 
    Before looking for replacements, I decided to investigate what fabrics are least appealing to cats.  My sweet tabby is part of the family, but her manicures can be brutal on the furniture.
   My intereior design pal tells me the following are their favorites (alas mine, too):
Favorites: silk; leather, chenille, textured fabrics.  They also love thick looped carpeting and rugs.
What are they more likely to leave alone?  Chintz, smooth cotton, Ultrasuede, and velvet.
