I have a small kitty rescue with on average 140 kittens per year coming through my home, plus three cats of my own. They have NEVER attacked a blanket or curtain. Toys? they love the toys, sometimes they will run like bats out of hell over the top of the couch to chase a toy/air/another kitty but even my couches are not scratched up. Cat climber, they climb and scratch that. I also trim their nails. Like the little doggies that get to jump up on the couch.. they rarely destroy it either. Exceptions to all rules. Cats can destroy things if left alone and ignored and a dog can eat your couch if its in a "mood" frustrated or lonely. I know, one of my goldens ATE my couch (like Turner and hootch) and I came home to a sea of fluff. So.. cats are not going to eat your quilts or couch. I say.. your safe. So are the quilts. those fringes on your lamp? fair game, fringes on the afghan? gotta get them...
