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.

A Rest Nest



I love my toy basket

Such a good place to rest



With nip under tail

And bells under nail

Dreams here...


Are the absolute best!







Have a happy weekend, everybody!

My bro and I take turns sleeping in our toy basket, too! You just never know when you're going to wake up and need a toy right away.

Awww that is so sweet. I think I need a slightly larger toy basket so I can get into it.

You are precious, Tom. Cats here sleep better with toys in the box, too. Seems a little lumpy, but they know what they like!

Tom that basket looks like tight quarters. Maybe you should think about getting a new basket, make room for expansion.
