What kind of leather is it? Is it very thick and hard? We have one
leather seat we inherited and the cats love to sit on it when there's a
human there.

No, it's soft leather and soft cushioning material underneath. We had
the idea that leather would be easier to keep clean than fabric, and
that has been the case so far. Our cats don't seem to scratch much so
that hasn't been a problem. But one of the dogs really likes to get up
on the back and sink into the cushion.

My leather is very heavy, but supple. It is nubuck, but lost it's
nap. Very soft to the touch. It has a matte appearance. The dog
liked it because it was cooler than the carpet.

Peaches
 

summer pruning wont stimulate new growth, it is for shaping the tree.

So, apparently pruning in Summer is not a bad thing.

I would qualify that statement to say small amounts of pruning are ok, but heavy

pruning will stimulate the tree to put out lots of new growth, usually in the
form
of water sprouts.
