But I thought of another friend it would be perfect for, so I returned Friday to look for it.  But I didn&#8217;t find it.  Instead, I picked up this book, which is also cat-themed and would be a good gift for either of the aforementioned friends.  But in a stunning turn of events, I decided to keep it because I also like cats.<\/p>\n<p>The book is a picture book of classic through the middle 1980s stars with cats, and there&#8217;s a caption telling you who it is.  Most cats appear only once, although Morris the Cat and Orangey, who appeared in several movies, appear more than once.  We&#8217;ve got the cover woman Carole Lombard, we&#8217;ve got Marlon Brando, we&#8217;ve got Sigourney Weaver with the cat from <em>Alien<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an interesting book to browse mostly if you&#8217;re in the intersection of old movies and cats like I am, and, in retrospect, only one of the friends to whom I thought to give this book.  So perhaps it&#8217;s for the best that I kept it after all.  <\/p>\n<p>Although I could, I know, give it away now that I have read it.  But that would be most unlike me of all.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been haunting the antique malls the last couple of weeks, looking for gifts for different people, and I&#8217;d seen something I thought I would pick up last Sunday at Ozark Treasures, a cat-themed game, and I thought it would be good for a friend, but we&#8217;ve already taken care of that particular friend this [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3334,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-report","category-books"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3334"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24038"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24039,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24038\/revisions\/24039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brianjnoggle.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
