That voyager looks like a nice chair but I couldn't find the price.

As to everyone having problems with cats scratching I have a couple of suggestions.

Throws work well, buy some good, hard-wearing and attractive material, enough to drape over the entire chair, including the sides; then ask someone with a sewing machine to hem it. Drape this over the chair so that it hangs over the side areas where cats scratch but fits snugly into the seat to accommodate your bum. The cats can't get a grip on the chair to scratch and it gives you time to shout NO if you see them heading underneath to get at the chair.

When I moved, I knew I was going to keep the cats in for 2 months, so I bought them a cat-tree. I've discovered that they'd rather scratch this than the furniture. On the odd occasion when they start upon the furniture, I just say, sharply: "No, skritchy-scratch post!" (pointing at the tree) and they go and scratch the cat-tree instead. Right now, my largest cat, Fred, is asleep in the bed at the top of the tree.
Hope this helps. Doesn't get rid of fur though!
