try rubbing a bit a of coconut oil in it, let it sit for an hour or two and then polish. Good luck!

Thanks everyone!

Felt pens...come in many colors. Choose a shade lighter than the color of the leather , because you can always go darker if needed. Try just making tiny dots rather than a long stroke.

Thanks, I had tried on an older chair with wood touch up markers. Big mistake it didn't work it just made them stand out more.

I've had good luck over the years with paste type shoe polish...just put additional layers on till the color matches and buff it well. Even if the scratch isn't invisible, it looks better and the leather is in better condition. This also works to put a protective layer on (just like taking care of a good pair of shoes).

Check out a farm/feed supply store that has horse supplies. Lots of leather products there - Riders want to keep their leather saddles and reins clean & soft . Leather New is one product - saddle soap another. Get someone who works there assist you in picking out a product that'll help with scratches.

know the stuff well, thanks.

Liquid rit dye worked wonderful on our red leather furniture. Use use damp paper towel, choose color of due that's matches your leather, rub on, that's it. The wetter your paper towel, or the more you dilute the dye with water the lighter your color will be.

I saw one website that really improved the scratches on her leather couch with olive oil. Google it and see what you think

That probably would work BUT I know it can go rancid with time. I think we decided to go with Leather luv cream products. Thanks.

Sorry for chiming in to this thread so late, but I just had to share this in case it helps someone out. I wish I had gotten this advice years ago as a cat owner.

My best advice?

Give the book " Ultimate Cat Secrets" a read.

It really is the only long-term solution to discipline your cat, OP.

This might come as a surprise to you, but your cat actually wants to obey you.

It’s kitty’s independent, sassy nature that makes you fall in love with him, but it’s this very attitude that makes it frustrating to train fun behaviours into your favourite feline.

Cats respond best to positive reinforcement – yelling, punishing or disciplining your cat just won’t work.

In my opinion, Ultimate Cat Secrets is a must-have for all cat lovers. It's not just a cat training manual – it’s one of the quickest and most comprehensive guides to living with a cat that I’ve ever seen.

The easy access audio format makes it a breeze to digest from your computer or your mobile device and the lessons inside are easy to implement. And if that’s not enough for you, ordering now will score you FIVE great bonuses:

1) How to toilet train your cat and get rid of that stinky litter box forever.

2) Extra tips audio program which includes basic first aid and tips on my favourite kitty calming remedy.

3) Pet medical recorder – an absolute essential for parents of asthma cats or any kitty with a chronic medical condition.

4) Downloadable transcripts of the entire program and all the bonus materials.

5) 100 recipes to pamper your feline friend.

I HIGHLY recommend it.

I’ve had pretty good results just wiping down with white vinegar. Use generous amount of vinegar.
