Cats are very cute creatures, however, devastating to some furniture. In this guide, the repair of minor cat scratches made on a leather couch will be documented in a detailed process with visuals and explanations.
The repair process is fairly simple, however, be sure to allow ample time for the products to dry. Not doing so could prolong the repair and/or damage items that come in contact with the repair area.
This guide is intended for minor damage to a leather couch and does not cover repairing major holes and/or restuffing the furniture.
