Notes from a parish cat and his author Julie Mackenzie

My photo
I am Father Tom Fish, esteemed member of the religious team at Temptation of Christ Parish in the novels by author Julie Mackenzie. As to my background, I was invited into the rectory as a stray, laid on the charm, and was invited to stay, even honorarily ordained and no less spiritual than my sidekick Father Will. He dotes on me to high heaven and forgives all of my street cat proclivities, whatever the hell that means.

Is Beauty Only Floof Deep?




First we want to thank everyone bunches for coming to our Gotcha Day Party last weekend! We're still recuperating, but we had a great time, even if Anastasia ate all the hot dogs..hehe


We like to pick on her and I'm not really sure why. She's just sort of regal, stuffy fluffy and elegant, and not a little intimidating. I get all tongue-tied when I'm around her, so if I do make a wisecrack, I wisely do it from a distance.

Hey, guys, look at this pose, willya?



"The Taj Majal is my second home, thank you very much."





Besides her beauty, what I find amazing about her is her furs..she has Tinker beat and he has some pretty awesome floofs, too.





"Whaasmmmsffmmmmmmmsfmmmrr?"



 Kinda like beach surf in a way, and we are definitely at high tide!






And, me? Well, I don't have as much floof, I guess, but that's okay. Mitty doesn't have any at all and he's fine without it.



Mitty says: "I may not have floof, but I have hand-painted furs!"


Handsome and no floof needed.

To all you kitties with or without floof, have a great weekend!

--Tom

Wow - that is a LOT of floof. But, mom has to admit that while she loves some floof, those stripes on Mitty are pretty awesome. :)

Anastasia is a real beauty. She should be queen of something and have her own kingdom somewhere. Her pictures are always gorgeous!

Anastasia is even floofier than Boodie! Boodie is the only cat here who isn't inclined to lie by the floor heater when it gets cold!

Anastasia is a beauty to be sure, but we think Mitty has fantastic markings!!!

Cathy Keisha said...

She is a pretty cat. I'm glad Mitty will be slinky off into the sunset now that the election is over and I'm not talking about your Mitty.

GLOGIRLY said...

Andrea and the Celestial Kitties said...

I see she's got her winter floof! What a fuzzy princess! LOVE the crossed paws!

Sage said...

We have a floof and a no-floof kitty that I live with (note who lives with whom). I must say Anastasia's floof is quite remarkable, but I really love Mitt's artistic fur. Quite handsome!

Katnip Lounge said...

That is some SERIOUS floof! Johnny wonders if she'll have to get nekkid with him in the spring! He loves being shaved.

Kjelle Bus aka Charlie Rascal said...

and I thought I was fluffy *mol*
I think all cat´s are beutiful with lots of floof , little floof or no floof at all <3

Mary said...

You are ALL absolutely gorgeous in your thick, bountiful furs! And Mitty is equally beautiful in her short do. Short fur is very chic and Parisian, i must say. Hope you're having an excellent weekend!

Unknown said...

Beautiful kitties!You offer great proof that furs belong on cats and not people. People can have some floofs, but not the fur kind.

Every kitty is beautiful in his own way..... maybe one day I'll figure out June Buggie's way. *snicker* Happy belated Gotcha Day!

Lisa said...

Oh my goodness - so many cat lovers hang out here! Tom is a very handsome fellow.

Fr. Tom Fish said...

Pouffy furpeople always look like they're pampered, but truth of the matter is, Mom Julie brushes only when she feels like it, during the news or some TV show, but, hey, we'll take it..and we love it.

Thanks for the kind words. Between you and me, Anastasia needs extra help with her posterior pouf which tends to un-glam things!

Beauty, Mumsy tells us, is in our eyes on account of what we are beholding. And with all you guys, we are beholding a lot of beauty :-)
