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.

Left - One, Two, Three..

I know..


You're wondering what the old parish boys are up to this time.


With the title of the post being what it is


It could be only one thing




Tinker is trying to teach me how to dance.

I know, I know..

It looks like he's doing more holding me up than anything else.

He's very patient, but we're going nowhere fast

Finally, I give up and we call it a day.


My favorite grampie's blanket

So, furriends

I guess if I'm invited to a cat-illion,

you'll see me by the punchbowl instead of on the dance floor

since it appears I have two left (hind) feet.

Cheers!

Are you sure that wasn't a whapping session? :-)

We do so love a good tussle, though we often "dance" around each other.

Hope you're all well, have a lovely weekend!

Keep practicing buddy, I didn't think you looked all that bad at this thing called "dance."

Sage said...

Just remember, practice makes perfect!

Cathy Keisha said...

tom, you know I like you best. I'll try to teach you to dance but I'll probably be working in the DJ booth. You could join me in there.

Go for the Harlem Shake! That merely requires silliness...and any number of feet, left OR right!

Happy Easter.

Clooney said...

Hello my boys, I'm so impressed that you are taking dancing lessons, what fun! And no wonder you're tired, it's hard work for sure. (We miss you folks, we think of you often as we are quite sweet on you all, hope all is well.)

Ellen Whyte said...

MOL! And we thought you were whapping!

Cindy said...

That is fantastic!

Cathy Keisha said...

If you can hit, you can dance. How are you at hitting furry smousies around the house? Bet you're a whiz.
