My cat took a flying leap right into my wet book press
Last Wednesday I was pressing a freshly glued text block and stepped away for 30 seconds to grab more paste. My cat Jasper decided that was the perfect moment to launch himself from the bookshelf onto the press lid. The whole thing tipped sideways and my nice 16th century manuscript replica ended up with a crooked spine and cat hair pressed into the endpaper. Has anyone else had pets destroy a project mid bind?

Wait, isn't that kind of the charm of bookbinding though? idk, I feel like the cat hair and crooked spine just add character to the object's history.
