We do have 2 of the sweetest cats EVER, but I make EVERY effort to keep my books separate from my fur babies! We also have a rescued rabbit, a tarantula, & 3 rescued turtles, but don't worry, my other furred, scaled, and hairy babies don't have book access! ;) (& yes, the cats were rescues too.) My friends call us the Wowchuck Zoo! On a side note, occasionally I get a book without a dust jacket, so if it is a MUST for you, just let me know, & i'll be sure to notify you if it's one of them.
