Just get an audio recording of a cat purring, easier on the furniture.
Ah, but then you only get partial and very limited therapy! An actual cat (or cats) is/are fully therapeutic, and a pair of claw clippers keeps the furniture safe.
I recommend at least 4. They are so much more fun when they have others to interact with!
