Cat Safe Fabrics

  • Microfiber, also called microsuede, ultrasuede or faux suede, is one of the most popular materials used on sofas and chairs. The density of the material gives it the ability to stand up to a cat's abusive claws, which also tends to make it less appealing to scratch on 
  • Another good fabric option for those with cats is microfiber or microsuede. These fabrics are more budget-friendly than leather, and they use very fine, tightly woven threads that are hard for cats to dig into. However, it does tend to be a hair magnet, so pick an upholstery color that’s closest to your cat’s fluff. 
  • Hair doesn’t stick; it won't hold onto odors as easily as fabric; and there’s nothing for cats to sink their claws into. Leather is a solid choice if you’re trying to prevent your cat from going in on your furniture simply because it won't enjoy it as a scratching post. Of course, every cat is different so it may still enjoy the usual poke or nudge.
  • Choose one of the following fabrics, which look great and work well for cat parents:
    • Microfiber
    • Faux suede
    • Denim
    • Synthetic polyester, rayon, nylon or acrylic
  • Leather furniture is sleek, soft and durable, and doesn't really retain pet odors and hair, all of which make it a desirable furniture textile. But it's not the best couch material for cats: It's actually a prime target for cat claws. It's easily scratched and, once pet claws hit leather, the material is never the same again.
  • Cats won’t want to scratch furniture with full upholstery and recessed legs Sean Juneja, co-founder and CEO of Decor Aid, offers this tip: Look for fully upholstered pieces with wood or metal recessed legs. “The best fabrics are ultrasuede and leather, because a cat cannot claw into these,” Juneja said. Avoid fabrics that snag easily, such as tweeds. It’s also difficult to remove pet hair from these types of textured fabrics.
