2. I had a heather green leather couch once

and 2 cats. 'nuff said.

What I did was head to the Hobby Lobby (craft store) and bought a fine/medium tip felt pen that was the same shade (or very, very close). You need to be careful, but trace the pen over the scratches and lines, following immediately with a soft cloth to buff the wet ink.

Once dry, you can use leather cleaner/polish to finish it off.

My mother (who can see a single black cat hair on a black coat from 50 yards) couldn't see what I had done, even after I pointed it out.

Not handy, I was rather proud of myself over that one. It was an EXPENSIVE couch and I didn't have the money to replace it, even with a cheaper one.
