Leather is good if your cats claws are clipped often. If not, you'll have claw holes from them jumping on and off. Leather is too slippery and cold for me. However, the faux chenille is wonderful for pets and looks like suede. I used to take my Rooms to Go sofa cushions off and wash them in the washing machine. Plus, stains were easy to clean with a soft cloth and gentle cleaner or just water. Its been quite awhile since I purchased the sofa and I can't find the sofa on their website anymore but they have many styles and fabrics. The other recommendation is making sure your back cushions are sewn in and that you rotate your seat cushions often. Happy sofa hunting!

Pianogirl,
If you can't bare to part with the wedding dress, you can have a seamstress make a Christmas tree skirt out of it. If the same goes for the clothing, then do something similar with the Christmas theme. Make memory ornaments. In clear ornaments, that can be found at craft stores, place pieces of the dresses and personalize it with a picture of that family member wearing that piece. This way you wont feel like you are throwing the whole thing away and will be able to keep a piece of the memories, too.
