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.

Another Episode in the Ever-Continuing Drama -...Wait For It... - "As the Hairball Hurls"


(Cue organ music and fade..)

Tom (aka Chopin): Well, I've just about had it.

Tinker: Had it? About what?

Tom: All these humans wanting to run our country. The drama is raising my blood
pressure.

Tinker: Yours? I'm so stressed out, I can't hear myself think.

Tom: Nobody can actually hear themselves think.

Tinker: You have to pick at what I say. Why do you get technical when I'm trying to make a point?

Tom: I can't help it. Here I am, quanderizing about the state of our world and you're saying stupid stuff.

Tinker: Quanderizing? What the hell is that? Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone. Or, have you forgotten?

Tom: Since I AM without sin, you better duck, wise man!

I think it's high time the kitties ran the country, then things would be as they should. Of course, you'd have to admit if you have used nip recreationally.

Saying a special hello to all who are visiting us and thank you for your support, despite rather erratic postings...We're trying to get into the swing of things again, knowing there are those of you who are not on Facebook and we don't want to lose touch. It's still hard with the loss of our kitty, Tom on here, but we're trying..with a new look, a little bit of humor and the best of intentions. ~ Julie xx

We's having issues here too in Canada...too many guys want to be in charge and no one wants to listen.

Time for the bean to turn off the noisy box and play with us kitties!

We can say the same about Canada too. We're doing out best to avoid the news these days, because it's all election hype and it's all the same nonsense.

Thanks for stopping by the blog, we appreciate it. We hope everyone is doing well and that your summer has been good! Hard to believe we're soon heading into September.

Purrs and peace.

Nicki, Derry and Kim
