We are a military couple and just recently got a kitten. We are using loner furniture and the kitten is clawing up the seats of the kitchen chairs. The seats are not plush but are not leather, it’s almost like a pleather.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix these scratches? I’ve seen things about using pigments to help but does that also work with non-leather materials?

My boyfriends dad is selling this old looking desk. It looks like an antique writing desk which has a black stamped leather top with gold pressed emblems on it in a pattern. It also has peg legs with very tiny wheels at the bottom and on the front has three drawers, two deep ones on the sides and one shallow long one in the middle. The wood is I think was you would call "dove tailed" or it is fitted like a puzzle piece and is solid wood.
I haven’t yet been able to take a picture of it but I did find a similar one online. It looks almost exactly as the one in the link except for there is no barred decoration below them.
What I’m wondering is around when it could have been made? I did find a serial number stamped on the bottom and also an inspector stamp but nothing else. I know the website says circa 1890 but I’m not sure.
He is willing to sell it to me for 0, I’m not so much interested in the real value but more in the look of it, but I would like to know maybe an estimate to see if I’m getting a deal or not. The condition is OK, a few scratches on the top from use and you can tell that someone tried to paint the edges in gold, and also the right drawer was very sticky but upon switching it with the other, it’s a bit smoother. Sorry for the long description, thank you (:
Here is the link to the similar one I found. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.elisabethjamesantiques.co.uk/new/productimages/victorian%2520walnut%2520writing%2520desk%2520by%2520jas%2520schoolbred%2520a_1163630426.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.elisabethjamesantiques.co.uk/Antique-Office-Furniture/antique-writing-desk-antique-19th-Century-ladies-writing-desk-by-JAS-Schoolbred.htm&usg=__6JQFfdWMI-N9OCwZH2Vas6Q5hNM=&h=375&w=500&sz=43&hl=en&start=11&tbnid=WJ9VtDhtgC60aM:&tbnh=98&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dvictorian%2Bstyle%2Bwriting%2Bdesk%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DX
I also found another that has the exact same top with the circular edges. http://ebayimages.goantiques.com/dbimages/JVR5449/JVR5449U02120801.jpg
