Cat Scratches on leather

Cats are notorious for damaging leather furniture with their claws. Scratches leave light marks on dark leather and dark marks on light coloured leathers. They also leave the surface feeling rough. Repair products are available to camouflage the marks but the actual damage to the surface cannot be fully repaired.

Katzenkratzer bei gepägten Spaltledern

Bei manchen Glattlederarten ist unter der Farbschicht ein loses Fasergefüge. Insbesondere bei geprägten Spaltledern. Solche Lederarten werden oft für den Korpus verwendet, weil dort die Belastung geringer ist und somit weniger wertiges Leder verarbeitet werden kann. Katzenkratzer bewirken bei solchen Ledern, dass längere Lederfasern aus dem weniger dichten Fasergefüge des Spaltleders von hinten nach vorne gezogen werden und dann aus dem Kratzer heraushängen.

Dog scratches and stains on leather

Dogs cause considerably less damage on leather. Sometimes dog’s hair can leave grease stains on the leather. Occasionally dogs can cause scratch marks on leather when ‘digging’ before laying down, although their paws are not as sharp as cat’s claws.
