Depends on what she means by "cat-proof." My two kitties have their claws, and I've bought nearly every scratching post/surface made, and they don't use any of them much. They still like the furniture best. For just covering the furniture with something I can easily remove when guests arrive, I used a couple of cream colored fleecy throws I got at WM on clearance. The cats love laying on them, the cream color matches the belly of the biggest shedder, and it doesn't show snags (they both have their claws).
