Anyone got cats and a wool sofa?

[bluehorizon]

I am tempted to get a wool covered sofa but wondered if it's going to be a nightmare with cat hairs? Anyone got advice. Our other sofas are cotton coveres and they don't really collect the hair at all.

covered that should say

Hmm... not sure I'd go for it. My MIL has linen sofas, but she has to keep them covered permanently with throws because of her 2 cats.

Thanks. Because of the claws or the hair?

[CaptainNancy]

Good question!

I think mainly because of the hair actually- one of her cats never scratches things, and the other does so very rarely. Lucky lady

Also because of muddy paw-prints though, as the linen is pale, and one of her cats in particular likes to run straight in from the garden and leap onto the arms of the sofa, walk all the way round 3 sides then run off upstairs.

Ha ha. Our cats like to lay on their backs on the floor boards, grab the edge of the sofa seat with their claws and scoot like trains up and down - it's very funny to watch but I don't hold out much hope for the new sofa :-)

I suppose i can get cat coloured sofas - that would help

Heheh- cat-coloured furry sofas might just do it!
