Question comes up all the time. What fabrics hold up best against cat claws?

Real answer, no upholstery is cat claw-proof, but some are better. Performance fabrics with a light, flat weave like Crypton resist snags better than looser textured fabrics.

Real top-grain leather resists claws better than fabric because there's nothing for the claw to hook onto.

What cats destroy fastest is chenille, bouclé, and any fabric with loops. Straight polyester with a flat weave is the smartest fabric.

Better answer, get a scratching post and keep the sofa in a different room but if she's going to be on that sofa, get performance fabric or top-grain leather from Gallery Furniture.
