We have a cat.

Any slick fabric like damask, polished cotton, leather or if it has a high polyester, man-made fiber content. Micro-fiber, chenille, and nubby fabrics will be difficult to get the hair off of.
To keep the couch from attracting the fur in the first place, spray it with anti-static, like Static Guard. I keep lint rollers in every room in which I have upholstered furniture to roll off the air that floats through the air inevitably landing on my furniture.

I have several cats and have no problem. Instead of worrying about the couch, try the FURminator pet groomer at this website and you won't have any hair problems to contend with. You can purchase them at any pet store for both dogs and cats. I was shocked at the amount of hair that came out and still does and the difference in my cats' coats. Also, switch to a good clumping litter that is odor and dust free and it won't track anywhere either. Then get the Bissell Healthy Home vaccuum cleaner from WalMart and it will virtually pick up every single cat hair that is left as well as make the house virtually alergy and dust free It has a beater bar upholestry tool that is awesome.

Daisy's right on Leather! Distressed not Italian. Especailly because of possible "drool" factors. I have Bassett Hounds & drool & hair are my worst factors.
It will have to be "cleaned" about once a year. Great work out, usually use Saddle Soap or Leather Cleaner & Conditioner if I can find it cheap.
Your issues will be, is kitty de-clawed? It is not a good designer detail that any furniture can take!

Leather, I use a slightly damp wash cloth and wipe it over the fabric in a down ward motion, it tends to remove cat hair fairly well.

No-brainer for me. Leather, leather, leather. Get good quality and it almost maintains itself. Our four dogs spend more time in our thousand dollar huge leather recliner than we do. But it's top grain leather and you just can't damage it. Dog hairs don't stick to it either.
But these days you can get some great bargains in leather furniture, so you don't have to get that pricey. We just went with it because it was the color we wanted, and the size. That highly stain-resistant microfiber upholstery is pretty good too. We've got a furniture item in that, which the dogs are all over, and we don't have a problem getting their hairs off it.

Leather or fau leather is very good for pet hair. However, not so good if the cat has claws.

Leather. Or a man made smooth fibre. Anything with a "pile" or that is soft or fluffy will hold the hair.

I got leather settee's. It worked as far a cat fur goes, but it makes a great scratching post, so don't spend a fortune on them.

i found that the best way to keep the sofa hair free was to cover it with a throw and just wash the throw when ever it gets to harry, i have a couple of afghans that i made and i change them out
