So yeah, you'll have "kitty" covers, because the protagonists are felines, and only one human is in the books. What other kind of cover would you expect?

The covers also implies fluffiness or lightness but that is also a true description of the books. And I think that was a problem with the books. They did not feel as solid as the rest of her books.
