I could cry

Time to teach the feline some music appreciation. May I suggest for some heavy rotation, at 110 db SPL: Cat Scratch Fever

I am not a fan of cats! I could care less what happens to them. It's a good thing house cats don't weigh 80 lbs, because they could, and would kill you given the chance. Personally I don't think they are fit for cohabitation with humans.....

With all that being said, I think it's clearly not the animal's fault, and the vinyl is perfectly fine. You lost your album covers. I'd be pissed too, mostly at myself.

Maybe buy all one color LP covers for the collection, and display them proudly. I just saw a home design show where they said take the jackets off your books, so they look more cohesive sitting on a shelf.

Many worse things in life than this one.

I should add that years ago on a few occasions, my girlfriends doberman had pee'd on my Quad 63's Arcici stands. I believe he did it simply for spite, probably not just to mark his territory. The stands were usable but rusted a bit. At least he didn't pee higher, directly into the panels. If he did he would have gotten a hell of a shock to a sensitive area, and rightly so.

Your lucky you didn't get arrested for animal abuse, I'm sure PETA is monitoring this website as well.

Why wasn't this on CNN? Such a drama! Worse than the fires in Australia! Those people have lost more than just a vinyl collection, believe me! Come on, get serious! The cat had to do something while being locked up in there, just be lucky she didn't wet your records. At least the cat has manners! Yes, I'm in defense of your cat. I'm her lawyer! NOT GUILTY!
