the claws from cats cut into the leather then turn it inwards so the flap of leather is still their it just needs coaxing out with a steel toothpick, then a hint of glue, no recolour needed.

well this is the case normally :-\ :-\     but from those pictures there are too many of them....... so sand-fill-recolour-re-grain(?) send a sample of the leather to Judy to make up the pigment.

this is from my limited knowledge so might not be 100% correct ;)

Looking at the photos... I wouldn't attempt it personally!  But that's just me, maybe Judy can advise better she's the expert

Gone? if it was mine you could be 100% sure it would be gone  ;D, that's been an ongoing assault on that sofa for some time.
I'd simply get the colourant and with a fine paint brush fill in the scratches.

Looked at this job last Thursday and thought leave it alone but the client is keen to have it done
and willing to pay well oh and the cat is no longer with us.
Thanks again for all the replys will be talking to Judy today.
