There are all type of products that cover scratches on wood in different shades. They are available at such stores as Wal Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. If those stores are not available in your area, check with your local hardware store. :)

there are things you can buy at a hardware store for that. But, if you have the same color crayon, that can also work!
you would need to sand it down and re-stain it
Get a grease pencil that is cherry color. Home Depot and others sell them. Furniture stores use that stuff all the time.
Nope... it's not like touching up a car... you do it with grease (wax). If you feel you must you can top coat it will a clear coat but furniture stores don't.
You mark it like a crayon and press it in hard. Then use your finger and body heat to help melt it down and level it. Gently wipe the sides with a cloth and you're done. Once it cools down below body temp, it is hard to wipe out.
If you go to your local Lowe's or Home Depot, they carry a couple of products that can help. In the paint section you will find these products. They usually look like a pencil, or large crayon. They are a colored wax type substance. You run this along the scratch and use your finger, or a soft cloth, and blend into the wood. I hope this helps!
They sell scratch repair stain in lots of different colors, some at supermarkets and home stores like home depot. My dog scratched my parents dark wood furniture and it worked well on it.
are the marks only in the finish or into the wood. if in the wood you will need to strip it and sand it if in the finish strip it and refinish it. these quick fixes offered in hardware stores do not blend well with older finishes and you will have discolored spots where the marks were.
Home Depot carries color stick filler. like a crayon.. lots of colors. located in the paint dept.
