I have a Room and Board sofa with their pet friendly Sumner fabric (this is a custom option so it takes a while for them to send it to you). We are very happy we went with this because our cat claws up everything he can but he hasn’t been able cause any marks or pills yet in the fabric for our new sofa.

The style we went with was Cade which we find comfortable, but I recommend going to a showroom as height differences can affect what sofa you find comfortable.

I'm not sure but old owners of the house left a leather couch. The daughter of them said they had it since before she was born (in early 90s). Not sure about it but the tag that said leather was left on. It's pretty torn up but also very very old. Look for a darker couch color. We have a light grey fabric loveseat next to the real couch but no dogs or cats allowed on that one. Sectionals/sofa doesn't really matter just based off of style. Don't go too bold like bright red but a maroon shade would be okay. Also don't buy a sleeper sofa specifically. Unless you know you'll use it, otherwise it'll sit unused and get funky inside. Take proper care of your couch and vacuum regularly. Don't get too heavy of a one if it's close to the floor make sure you can lift and move it slightly in order to clean. It's a far enough away from the floor it's not as much or a problem.

You're welcome. Vanquest and 5.11 both make lines that don't look tactical (ie the MOLLE webbing). But if he also uses a small set of tools (maybe to gain access to a server or unscrew a case), a smaller sling with a MOLLE tool pouch might do well also. As a size reference, I have a 5.11 Moab 6 sling and an I-pad Air 2 in a full case fits perfectly in the larger pocket with room for additional items.
