    Go to your local hardware store find the Plastic Wood Filler (you can either buy in neutral colour then stain it to match or you can by it coloured)

    Sand the table where the scratches (to smooth it out a bit) are or all of it depending on size and how much work you want to do

    Clean it after you sand

    Apply Plastic Wood Filler don't worry if you make a mess with it, the stuff does shrink a bit when it dries

    Allow it to completely dry, sand to smooth using a very fine sand paper - any mess you made easily sands off

    Clean again stain to match your table (if you bought neutral) Apply Varathane protective coating if you wish

    Have fun =)

    fill it in with a furniture stick that matches the color of your table and sand it down and put clear stain over. It will look as good as new. You can stop the cat from scratching by rubbing some strawberry vinegar on it. Your cat will stay away since the smell is not familiar.

    Find a wood filler color matched to your wood.Then you need to lightly sand out any rough spots and follow the directions on the filler.

    Fill in with a furniture stick close the the color of your furniture.

    When dry, try to find a stain that matches the color of your furniture, if the stick doesn't quite match.

    I use Old English furniture polish. It works really well.
