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.

Inspiration for Cat Transport?

Okay, here's a question for you:



Do you know what a DDPTU is?



You have thirty seconds to answer.



Da-da-da-da-da-da-da...da-di-da-di-dup-de-da-da-da...
(I borrowed the Jeopardy theme)



Give up?



It stands for Double Decker Pet Transport Unit!




Have a great weekend, everybody!

We have a feeling that it's going to be difficult to do any transporting in that configuration.... (maybe that was the plan?)

Fuzzy Tales said...

Hmmm, we hate to admit this, but that actually looks like a cosy spot (both in and on top) to curl up!

Cindy said...

That's so cute! But I hope they both don't get to the vet like that. :)

Hannah and Lucy said...

We knew immediately the PTU part but we didn't know the DD part until we saw your picture! Mum says she doesn't think that would go too well for her!!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

The Florida Furkids said...

Are you kittehs sure that's a PTU? It's looking more like a super comfy bunk bed, if you ask us. :)

Hugs to you all, sweet friends. Hope the storm doesn't dump too much of the white stuff on you!

Julia Williams said...

PTU has been part of my vernacular for awhile now but the DD part stumped me!! I think it's great that you two kitties like to lounge in and on yours. Perhaps that makes it easier on you when it's time to take that PTU on the road?

The Furries of Whisppy said...

Haha! That's very clever!

Sparkle said...

You two look very happy! Probably because you are not going anywhere!

Just Ducky said...

Hopefully not headed for a double appointment at the VET!

Random Felines said...

you both look very comfy. stay safe and warm this weekend!!

CATachresis said...

You two don't look stressed!! Unlike me when I go anywhere near a PTU!!!

Cathy Keisha said...

Hopefully you're not making a trip to the v.e.t. in this blizzard. Stay safe. Gee, you guys are cute.

Memories of Eric and Flynn said...

MOL! You both look so content there.

Mary said...

What a clever boy you are Tom! This is perfect. :) And you and your siblings and Mom Julie have a wonderful weekend!

Brian's Home Blog said...

HA! We did that here once, but it didn't turn out too well for the one inside!

Andrea and the Celestial Kitties said...

Something tells me that the top cat (hee!) gets the better end of the deal when that thing heads for the car! He can get away before you even hit the door!

The Island Cats said...

That's a cool DDPTU...but we still don't like the PTU!!

Colehaus Cats said...

We thinks someone is sitting on the handle...or are you now the handle? Great picture! Purrs...

The Lee County Clowder said...

Be careful there, Tinker. That is a nice place to sleep, until one of the beans decided to close you in there.

Cat and DOG Chat With Caren said...

great idea but boy oh boy would that be HEAVY!!! MOL!

Tamago said...

DDPTU! How cool! Goro loves to be in PTU and Niko loves to be on it, but they never use it at the same time. It looks like you are both enjoying the ride together :-)

Shaggy and Scout said...

Laughing at the comment just above this: That WOULD be a heavy PTU, but Mom Julie would get to work her muscles so thats an added bonus.

Anonymous said...

Oh Dog! I need one of those. I could lock up both June Buggie AND Hissy Fit Jones!

Unknown said...

that looks pretty cool, but will it work? Me had the same Ptu, it is still at our little house (in Calgary) where we used to lives and our Nephew Caesar has been using it. He thinks the Nellie Smell makes it easier to goes to the vet!
