My cat turned my color coded shelf into a giant pile and I fixed it with a $3 thing from Target

I spent 4 hours Sunday evening sorting my entire paperback shelf by color, reds to greens, and it actually looked like one of those dreamy bookstagram photos for about 20 minutes. Then my cat Peanut launched off the top of the bookcase, knocked over the whole left side, and I found her sitting in a mountain of books like she owned the place. I tried stacking them back the same way twice and she did it again the next night, so I gave up on color and grabbed a $3 wire basket from Target to hold the ones she keeps going after. Now the top shelf has the basket and she sleeps in it instead of bulldozing my stuff. Does anyone else have a pet that treats their shelf like a personal wrecking ball, and what did you actually do about it?
