Unfortunately they're near impossible to fix due to trying to match the colour. I have gorgeous leather dining chairs that are completely ruined. Initially it was from Stumpy jumping on them and falling and digging her claws in so she didn't fall off. Then we covered them with fabric chair covers to try and help, but she just treats them as a scratching post now. We've given up...

I just bought a leather couch and the leather looked like it was 200 years old. It was brand new and I paid extra to have it look so old. Now if I could only convince others that the rips in my other leather couch is cool, that it adds character.
BTW, I bought an extended warranty which had in the fine print that it did not cover cat scratches.

The barstools aren't even a week old
The seam of the cushion is opening. I went to an auto store and target and they didn't have repair kits. Next stop Walmart. Will keep on looking...thanks for your input.
