It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, what the rest of the family and I have been reading and watching, and what I’ve been writing. Some weeks I share what I am listening to.

A little update on my cats – one of which I wore more extensively about in my post yesterday.

The youngest is acting a lot better but is still not 100 percent, though I’m not sure what 100 percent is for him since he’s always looked a bit rough and bedraggled since someone dropped him off at our house in October. Something is up, or down really, with his tail but he’s eating normally again and being a general nuisance.

The really sick, Scout, one ate a lot more food today and was actually cleaning herself which I haven’t seen her do in several days. She also made it downstairs for a few hours of snoozing on the couch before we rudely had to move her when we put some cat food near her and it spilled on her and the couch. She and the couch had to be cleaned and she growled at us why we did it and once put back down she disappeared upstairs onto our daughter’s bed.

What is funny about her picking our daughter’s room as her sick room, so to speak, is that she doesn’t like our daughter that much. She’s always concerned our daughter is going to scoop her up and carry her around like she did when we first adopted her as a kitten so she growls at her a lot.

At night, though, she waits until Little Miss is asleep and curls up against her butt and then hisses and smacks Little Miss’s feet if she moves.

She’s doing it this morning which shows me she is perking up some but also baffles me. I keep telling her if she doesn’t want to get kicked by Little Miss stretching then she needs to stop picking that spot to lay. She’s being a typical cat and giving me dirty looks and ignoring me.

I’m encouraged that just before I finished this post, she wanted to go outside and lay in the sun on the back porch. So far, cat number three, our oldest cat is doing okay.

What The Family is Reading

Little Miss and I are still enjoying Heidi.

The Husband just finished First Blood by David Morrell.

What I/We’ve Been Watching

Last week I watched Vivacious Lady with Ginger Rogers and Jimmy Stewart and loved it. I couldn’t finish Dark Victory with Bette Davis because of the subject matter, but it was good as far as I watched it. I also watched Jezebel with Bette Davis. My son and I watched Office Space as well.

I started Now, Voyageur with Bette Davis last night and will finish it later today or tomorrow.

What I’ve Been Writing

Last week on the blog I shared:

• Saturday Evening Chat: Two sick cats. This is getting weird.
• Classic Movie Impressions. Spring of Bette: Dark Victory or the movie I couldn’t finish because it hit too close to home
• Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot May 1
• Book recommendation: A Caribbean Mystery by Agatha Christie
• Ten of the most relaxing books I have ever read (in no particular order)
• Spring of Bette (Davis): Another Man’s Poison

Some Housekeeping

Erin (Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs) and I host a monthly bookish link party called A Good Book and A Cup of Tea.  This link-up is for book and reading posts or anything related to books and reading (even movies based on books!). Each link party will be open for a month. You can find that link up for this month here.

Each week, I host the Weekend Traffic Jam Reboot with some great hosts. It goes live Thursday night, but you can share any kind of blog posts (family-friendly) there until Tuesday of each week. You can check my recent posts on the sidebar to the right for the most recent link party.
