What is “cat scratching skin”?
“Cat scratch leather” is a vivid nickname, not a specific material. It refers to sofa fabrics that have undergone special treatment and possess exceptional wear and scratch resistance. Common cat scratch hides on the market mainly include polyester fiber, polyurethane (PU), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC), each with its own unique performance characteristics.
Why can it be “caught and caught”?
Dense and wear-resistant surface layer
The surface is coated with a high-performance wear-resistant coating, and the PVC cat scratch hide uses a special surface treatment process to provide excellent scratch protection.
A robust base structure
High-quality cat scratch leather uses a multi-layer composite structure, with a base layer that has high elasticity and strong tear resistance, ensuring the surface is not easily deformed or damaged.
Stable physical performance
PVC cat scratch leather excels in weather resistance and stability, maintaining long-term stability in both appearance and performance.

What other advantages does cat scratching skin have?
Outstanding durability: PVC cat scratch leather has excellent abrasion resistance and is durable
Easy to clean and maintain: The surface is smooth and dense, and pet hair, footprints, and water stains are wiped away easily, making maintenance worry-free
Waterproof and stain-resistant: The natural waterproof properties of PVC material effectively prevent liquid penetration
Diverse aesthetics: It can mimic various genuine leather textures and colors, meeting the aesthetic needs of different home styles
How to choose the right cat scratch leather?
Check the surface treatment: Check whether the surface texture is clear and whether the texture feels delicate and smooth
Test abrasion resistance: The most direct method is to ask for a sample and use your own key or fingernail to scrape it hard to test its scratch resistance
Smell: High-quality PVC cat scratch leather should not have an irritating smell
Resilience test: Press the surface with your hand to test its resilience and recovery ability
The surface features a nano-level protective layer that resists liquid penetration and cleans easily with a wipe, easily handling all kinds of cat emergencies.
