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.

Let's Play!

"Well, we've come to the final post on how we kitties are snoopervized when Mom Julie isn't here.

She's starting to ask Mitty to take some responsibility for us. Yeah, right!! Although, I must say, that's when we have the most fun (we know she can't be serious).

First thing he does is find somebody to wrassle with..




Uh-oh. Looks like it's the Big Puss and he was trying to sleep, hahaha!
Better look out Mitty, Tinker has little guys like you for lunch!

Oh, yeah, he comes after me, too, but I'm usually alert and ready.


Hello!


Yikes! That tickles!

The cutest thing Mitty does is show off by playing fetch.
Look at him with the mousie!





 The other thing he does is play house. I pretend I'm the big, bad wolf, watching from above.





So, you see, it's party time when Mitty's in charge and that's the way we like it.

I hope he never grows up!

Mitty looks as though he enjoys having fun - we think he will always enjoy himself especially with his mousie.

That Mitty is one cute guy! Thanks so much for visiting us. We're sorry it took so long for us to return the visit, we were without power most of last week.
