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.

Indeed!



This is supposed to be "Wordless Wednesday." Can't anybody read? Oops, wait a minute..

(just going through some old photos and came across this one..I remember Tom being highly insulted which meant, of course, that he could read..)

LOL! Actually, our mom says we could use that by our patio door, since we often come in from our back space with wet and/or muddy paws, dragging garden mulch, etc. She has a mat right there, but we like to carefully skirt around it as much as possible, and walk all along the bare floor, avoiding the area rug too. Heh heh.

Cats paws are always clean aren't they Tom?
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

That is true. All of our paws are always pristine clean. Why do we need to wipe our paws. But love the mat. Hope you have a great day.

Surely that wasn't meant for Tom!

We could use one of those! Kozmo and the hairy slobbery sisters always has dirty toeses!

Heh. It should say, "Lick your paws."

I'm afraid that my people are always wiping the highly cultivated mud off of my feet!

We can see how Tom would be insulted! :)

Fr. Tom Fish said...

Sparkle, you're right, that's what it should say! We didn't show you what it said on the other side.."If you're a cat, disregard this notice!" hehehe!

We're so silly!

Tom

LOL!! Of course Tom was insulted!! Kitties always clean paws so don't need such a rude mat!

The Island Cats said...

Our mom has a plaque by the back door that says the same thing. We think it's directed to visiting woofies, not us cats.

I think this is meant for the humans!

Your pal, Pip

I am sure they meant dogs, Father Tom. I know for sure that cats are always licking their paws and wiping their faces with it.

Fluffy and Heather said...

Eh, we interpret W.W. rather loosely! We should rename it "No longer than a sentence Wednesday"! It's a very cute mat though. Where did your mom buy it?

OKcats said...

We don't think that was meant for cats - surely not! Just for silly humans. A cat wipe its paws - as if!
