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.

Go Away With That!

Holiday greetings, friends!

This time of year, some humans dress their pets.
Not my thing. I don't mean dressing my thing, I mean, it's just not appealing to this hefty, furry mancat in all of his Coon Cat glory and holiness. I think I've made my point, although it does sound kinda full of myself.

This is the most I'll do and it's grudgingly.



No jingle bells, red felt trousers, black belt....wait a minute, maybe having a black belt wouldn't be so bad...I'm thinking karate..*high kick with hind paws*

Anyhoo, we're busy here getting ready for the big day. The housekeeper took another job and I've been sorely neglected. She's tired, cranky and isn't loving me up the way she usually does.

What can you do to make me smile? I'll take cyber kisses and hugs!

Lackin' in lovin',
Tom

PS - Tabbies o troutowne - Sounds like Daisy's just like Bridget, so you can feel my pain, haha!!

Seriouslies, Tom? She's taken another job, and neglecting you?!?
There ought to be a law against such punishment!
Then again, providing food for one's furry kids is definitely paramount too.
You can teleport over and play with Da Boyz; they need a third to romp with!

You can have all the kisses and hugs you want from me, Tom! You do look very begrudging about wearing that hat though.

Tis the time of year when everyone including cats dress up in things they would not be caught dead in the rest of the year! 😺

You look good in the hat, but I agree, no bells!

We could bring you some catnip, tuna and snuggles, if you want, Tom!

Maggie from Stillness at Cherith said...

We are sorry that you are being so shamefully neglected, Tom!
We send you soothing purrs.
Also, you look great (a bit cranky) in the Santa hat.
