Pet's, sofas and holidays,

[dizzypop]

Hello all,
This is my first time posting hear but I have been reading on mums net for years lol
I have seen some grate idea's hear in the past so I'm wondering can anyone think of an idea I haven't?
The problem is I stupidly got 2 cream leather sofas, and 3 cats and 3 kids (duh me!)
Anyway its not been to much of a problem but I am going away for 10 days next month I have a lady who will be coming to feed the cats but I am worried about my sofas, when I'm away I KNOW MY CATS PLAY!
Can anyone think of anything I can do to protect them ? I have thought about putting them in the kitchen and keeping door shut but the only issue with this is that's where the cats food and litter is if I move the food and litter to the front room I'm not sure that would go down well with the carpet,but it could be done if I had to, or is there a better way? Can anyone think of something? Or what have you done when u have been away ?

can you not just shut the living room door?

hi nannyL
not rally the way my house is you come through the frount door theres the stairs and to the side is living room, inside living room is the door to the kitchen ,so if i was to shut them out of living room i would have to put there cat tray in a bed room the bathroom isnt big enough for floor space,

oh ok

thought is must be too obviosue to be a practicle solution!
