Caporegime
Kinda pointless having a decent sofa if you are just gonna cover it up with a fleece. Id just keep the cat out of that room when I was out.
We got the sofa 2 years before the cat
He isn't allowed in there when we aren't in anyways, but he runs around like a mad thing in the evenings even if we are there and his claws catch.
We take the fleeces off if we have guests though.
