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.

Stir Crazy

Hi!!!!!

When rabbits decide to get on airplanes, where do they fly out of??

O'HARE!!!

Silly me.

So, howya been?

I'm just trying to keep my sanity. The idea of taking a trip has me thinking. Do you ever get bored with the same routine day after day? Even though our humans do everything they can to make us happy, give us toys, places to sleep and climb and open the windows for heavenly whiffies, it can get a little depressing.

It was raining. Of course, that doesn't help and even though I stay on church grounds, I don't go out when pelting raindrops muss my furs. So one rainy day, I made it a point to log in my activity. Boy, was it dull! Windows closed, no sun and nothing special. Even people don't come to visit. Smells 24 hours old can get dull. So, there's not even that.

Sometimes I spice things up in my mind with a little creative imagination about where I might be or who I might be, but that doesn't happen all the time and I share with you most of that stuff. Here's a perfect example..me a race car driver winning races and smelling good for the ladies!

Vroooom! Vroooom!

This is the life!


How do you spice ...ahem, up rainy days??

Smelling manly,
Tom

Boy, smelling THAT manly I may want to compromise your reputation, Tom. What do I do? I'm afraid I tend to nap.

Oh Tom! Da Boyz only wish they could be outside, to chase those squirrels and birds and woodchucks! Which is exactly why they stay indoors. Even if it's rainy, they have their peepers trained out the windows.

I don't really need spice in my life unless it's in food. Much to TW's chagrin, I love spicy foods. The spicier, the better. I also dream a lot. My paws are always moving in my sleep like I'm off on another adventure.

LOL I love the rabbit riddle!
You make a great race car driver, Tom! On rainy days, we nap and nap, just like on sunny days :-)

We all just sleep until it's over--the rain that is. . .

We dream we're in that big tree very close to our balcony. We could get to it too, if only Mom would let us out.
