Hey folks! My partner and I are looking to get a new couch, ideally a sectional and one that is cat friendly. Any recommendations?

I have a Lovesac modular couch (and a cat). They have specific fabrics you can choose that are more cat claw resistant!

Highly recommend Basset! Their products are made in NC and they deliver wherever. I can’t say enough good things about my experience. My couch has held up great and the pullout mattress is 10/10! I think they told me it was a minimum 6-8 week delivery time and I received mine in less than 4.

Pet parents, as we continue to thaw from the snow, let me know if any of your four legged creatures need an indoor play date. My little one is tired of staring at me and my laptop. I can host.
