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.

Spiffed Up Furs!

Hello, efurrybody!!

Over the weekend, the housekeeper gave me a good brushing and with a comb got all the under chin furs and combed out around my ears. I love my grooming because - and here's a secret that I'll share - it means she takes off my collar and that feels sooo good, especially when she massages my lusciousness first, teehee!! Here's the secret, though: I "lose" my collar a lot because I'd rather have my neck free, especially after a good spoiling over my furs.

I know my "priestly attire" has to go back on eventually, but meanwhile...I'm enjoying my freedom! Come and get me!!


Have a good week, my friends! By the by, most of the responses I received on our fun destination where we would all go (in last week's post) has to have sun and sand. I couldn't agree more!

Tom, we put collars on Manny and Chili Bruce, but they quickly chewed them off of each other, by biting the plastic latches. It was one way to tell them apart! You are a handsome mancat, especially after your spa day!

You are looking absolutely spiffing, Tom!
Count me in for sun and sand. The sea would be good for me too.

Getting our collars off and losing them in the house drives Greg mad! We love to watch him hunt around trying to find them. It is soooo funny! Your furs look great!

I don't know how cats ever allow anything around our necks. I go berserk if I even think something is going around my neck.

We don't like collars, either, Tom. But we sure would enjoy a brushing like you got!

You are quite the handsome mancat.

OH you looks GOOD! Mom never put a collar on me because she was afraid of denting my beautiful ruff furs. So I escaped. Only her shorthaired girl had one, and that was because she was our last inside outside girl. You are looking scrumptious. Want to snuggle?

Tamago said...

Sounds like you enjoyed nice brushie session and collar free time :-) My boys enjoys getting brushie under the chin and around ear areas, too. You are looking super gorgeous, Tom!

meowmeowmans said...

Yes, indeed, Tom. YOU are spiffed up, big time! :)

When mom and dad put my collar on me I surprised them by accepting it and not having a problem with it around my neck. It's pretty much a part of me now.

I LOVE brushing and mommy brushed me today getting oodles of furs!
