Disown him and caste him out. Leave everything to the cat.
you are probably SOL. Unless it is just small areas that you can dye and match exactly to the original color.
Buy a new one. And hit him before you do.
check with some of your local dry cleaners - one of them may do leather work and can dye it for you
Not wear a leather suite in 2007
Bleach his hair whilst he sleeps
Get a leather repair kit. The leather is bleached and dyed anyway. The kits are cheaper from car spares shops than from furniture shops. I had an old Range Rover with leather seats, which were "painted" cream. It wasn't that difficult to repair. Much easier than repairing a tear.
Or you could bleach it in blotches to create an exciting leopard skin effect. This would also be a talking point and make you many friends, I am sure.
Seriously, google "leather repair kit car upholstery" or similar (no quotes) and you'll get loads of suppliers. There's an American website where they show you how to do it, but you'd be waiting for ages to get their super kit.
PS If the area is small, try a colour matched touch up car paint or even a felt tip. The old tip is that a darker colour blend s in easier than lighter (as you've found with bleach). Good luck
Its a lost cause if bleach was used, I am very sorry!
This should be repairable by a specialist leather technician depending on the type of leather you have.
A leather technician would be able to recolour the area.
Please do not try DIY kits as they rarely work and the colour matching needs to be perfect
If you are in the UK call 01423 881027 for a qualified technician in your area.

use a well placed cushion or a throw or else get a new one or live with it kids eh!
