Notes from a parish cat and his author Julie Mackenzie
- Fr. Tom Fish
- 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.

World Cat Day: Love You!
This is why I know I’m gonna make it
Charm and affection and they don’t fake it
They’ll purr and trill right to the end
Heart and soul always to mend
Life’s scratches, growls and haunting nights.
All my life they've been adorable and filled my heart with joy.
HAPPY WORLD CAT DAY TO EVERYONE!
Mom Julie, Tinker (above), Mitty, Tom, and Anastasia
