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.

Let's Take the Long Way to Winter!

Hi, effurrybody -

Well, Monday's almost over and the housekeeper and I just plum forgot....ahem..it's the only post we do all week, you would think...

But, what am I suppose to do? I can't type on a keyboard, but she can, under my direction, of course. Maybe someday they'll make a keyboard for cats, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The keys would have to be paw-sized and all.

Today is the first official day of autumn, and I get to watch leaves come down off the trees, birds, cats, and humans enjoying the cooler weather, and more cooking smells coming out of the kitchen like soups and stews, with the housekeeper always willing to give me a sample! (Why I don't stay mad long)

So, on this first day, here's something I post every year. An invitation to join me as we sit to ponder or nap. Let's just leave room for a human or two..!


Maybe we'll see some fishies in the water!

I don't much care either way, but dad's been getting all sad at the thought of perfect beach weather going by the wayside soon. Idiot.
