A cat’s natural behaviour
For those who love cats, their energy, their presence, the way they interact with their environment and humans, there is one point that everyone agrees on: how to manage their natural need to do their claws at home while sparing our upholstery?
Cats can be cruel with our sofas as they represent for our furry pals the perfect match from their cat perspective. So to make them choose a dedicated station instead of a sofa they may need a bit of training and encouragement. And no need to fight them. On the contrary, all that it is likely to happen is they will wait to do it when you’re not around, to avoid being reprimanded.
Cats do their nails for certain natural puposes and they will look for stations offering specific characteristics. Find below some hints that may help you manage their natural needs.

By clawing, cats may want ...
Luwiss has tested many many fabrics in the last decade to find out if claw resistant fabrics exist. And the answer is… yes! Yet very few have manifested reliable resistance.
So far, only two fabric patterns did, and unfortunately, they were both discontinued in early 2023. Other fabrics are currently being tested and show good resistance potential.
But let’s be clear here however. No matter the fabric, it will necessarily wear out over time. Therefore, a cat scratch resistant fabric is not indestructible and is not exempt from wear and tear, but on the other hand, it will preserve a good appearance despite repeated clawings done by your feline companion.

Cat Claw Resistant Fabrics
Why we don't show these fabrics on our website?
The cat resistant fabrics LUWISS has identified over time are produced by other manufacturers and are not exclusive to LUWISS. But, we are the only one in our area that have put a lot of energy and time to find out these fabrics. Showing the samples here would let some other upholsterers find out without having done a single effort, which would be a bit cavalier on their part.
So, if you want to have more information about our findings, let us know you look for cat resistant fabrics and we will be please to show you our best options so far.
Go Fund Me
LUWISS is thinking of launching a Go Fund Me campaign to help us in producing our own cat resistant fabrics. We have found a laboratorie and a Quebec (Canada) fabric manufacturer that can replicate our best fabric that is now discontinued. But, producing such a fabric is expensive and we will need help to finance the project.
Would you be interested to know when that campaign will be launched? If so, check the box below and provide a valid email address and your first name*.
