Anyone know how to repair leather? My other half's cat keeps sitting on my seat and because it doesn't have a center stand, anything you put on the seat slides off, except the cat - because the little f-cker is sticking its claws in. veryangry.gif It's put some small tiny holes in the side of the seat but I wanna try to seal them to stop the rain soaking into the seat.

Gaffer tape? Tape the cat to the floor.
Beyond that I couldn't really say...

Can't think of how to repair it but a good cover should prevent further damage.

if its a leather seat, then surely its not really waterproof anyway? So some tiny little holes shouldn't make much difference? Though I don't really know...

Put a cover on it, one that can be pulled tightish so there is no convenient flat areas for it to sit on...

Lie some gaffer tape sticky side up on the seat and wait? lbhh.gif

Rub a candle over the area. The wax goes into the holes and seals them. The wax can also be rubbed into the sewn seams. It protects the threads and stops them drying out. Also good for jackets and zips!
