Check auto motive section or store for a leather repair kit.
I can think of two possible options to offer.
You might consider leather/vinyl repair kit. Commonly found in automotive sections. You will be supplied with several colors in tiny pots to custom mix your patch and sample textures to stamp over your repair to match your appearance of damaged leather project.
Im not sure the degree of restoration, could touch up paint work? That what my son did on his sofa with this product.
You need to check over reviews Q&A and see if your correct color is available. Hope this helps.

You can paint it but it will still look scratchy

What color is your leather Karen? If it is brown, I would use the brown furniture markers. I used those all the time on our scratched up leather and it worked great to mask any scratches that my kids made. If you match and blend the colors and dab with your finger, they will disappear. If your leather is a color, that can get more tricky. I would get a sample of some good paint that matches and use a very tiny paint brush to fill in with paint. I have a couch I need to do this too so I will write a post on it:)

Our dogs scratched our leather. I figured shoe polish was made for leather and tried it. It worked! The key is to find an exact color. Ours is dark brown and it works perfectly! I used the polish with the applicator on the top that you push on to get the right amount to come out. Hope this helps. Some people redid their whole couch and used a colored furniture wax on theirs for the faded leather.
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.
