Is there a way to stop my 2 kittens from scratching my new leather sofas?

The kittens are 3 months old, I do have a scratching post, they are only scratching the sofas when they are running and jumping around playing together. My son will take them both (one is actually his), but he lives in the apt above me and they get loose from him and want to live here and run in everytime the door opens. They are even trying to figure out how to open the door to get in. They are sweet kittens, I don't really want to get rid of them, we are very attached to them. But, I can't stop them from playing and there is no way to keep them out of this room. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It seems like they are not scratching the sofa on purpose - there is something called SOFT PAWS that you can get at vet's offices. They are little caps (in the shape of the kitten's claws) that you glue over the kittens' claws, so the kittens cannot harm material, but retain thier claws and normal kitten like behaviour.

There was mention of declawing - which is an option, but you need to know that declawing is like removing part of the finger (from the last knuckle down on your finger, not just the nail). If you choose to declaw, you can never let the cats outside because they will be beaten up by other cats. And some cats tend to start to bite more once they are declawed. But, if you think this is the best option, consider asking the vet if you can just have the tendons in the paw cut - that way the kittens will retain all the parts of the paw and the claws, but the cats will be unable to stick their claws out to scratch things.

There may be a "problem" with the scratching post that you have - the scratching post should be taller than the cats are when they are streched out with their forelimbs above their head. If the scratching post is tall enough, it may be in a bad spot for them to use - don't have it near the litter box, have it out in the open, and you may want to change the type of material on the scatching post to encourage them to use the scratching post more often.
Good Luck!

where can I buy plastic or vinyl furniture sofa covers?

Are you trying to do this because of children or animals? Covering your furniture in vinyl is a really big decorating faux pas. Try the new washable fabric slip covers. They are much more comfortable & look so much better. Try surefit.com

i was thinking of getting a nice deep red throw blanket i saw to accent the futon, this is what i need help on:
1) what color area rug should i get, soemthing to take away from the ugly brown carpeting and to match my theme.
2) should i get little arm pillows and what color?
3) and should i get curtains- and also what color?
i'm good at cleaning, but no so much at decoarting– i tend to be too matchy-matchy and sometimes it looks tacky.

I am considering buying a futon day bed, because I have a bad back, is there a bar like there is in sofa beds?

I will be sleeping on it often and I need to know if it has bars or wooden rods that will hinder my being comfortable

Yes it has tonz of bars! At least the one i had did…. that's what held the bed up is just a row of bars!
So i am telling you - DO NOT USE A FUTON FOR YOUR BAD BACK! They made me get a bad back!
look for something else!

Are futons better for your back than conventional mattresses?

It's a matter of opinion, and equal quality of the materials. Futons can range from barely a pillow for 100.00, to a finely sewn, handemade quality, heavy duty futon mat weighing in excess of 75lbs, for hundreds of dollars, if not thousands. Conventinal mattresses are comfortable, my preference of the two. Mine is a firm mattress, but has pillowtop construction, along with my own way of storing excess blankets, or sleeping bags, makes it soft/firm, with the blankets surrounding you. The foam mattresses, I find them to feel weird. I don't know that I like how they feel, and would want to just try it out, for thirty days, before I made a purchase.
