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.

Time to Get Outta Dodge

Hey, guys!

Can you believe this, my furry friends?

A pandemic? I thought all along it had something to do with the kitchen, frying pans and such. Boy, was I wrong! Humans are crawling all over the place, doing their part to stay in place and not be exposed or pass it along.

It's awful. I don't have a minute's peace and the housekeeper won't keep any of the closets open so I can escape this madness.

I have no choice but to leave, head out to my personal transportation.

Anyone with me?


We won't be flying to any of the hundred and forty-some countries that are in the same boat we're in.  We'll probably cruise our local skies, taxi/race down runways, playing tag, and I'll be sure to keep the nip and tinis coming, along with excretory accommodations..I always thought the grass at the airport could use some extra greening, so I'll be sure to make the crew open doors so we can get to romp around!

As you can see, they're loading up my stuff, so you better hurry!

All aboard!

Any chance of you taking a human along with you to escape this craziness?

The humans all have gone crazy! Hoarding toilet paper and hand sanitizer. What the fluff?!? Count us in, Tom....we’ve got to escape this madness.

Maybe St. Kitts if they don't have the virus bug!

Hmmmm... an alternative to escape the madness!
Perhaps your humans would miss you, though?

We're already hunkered down in place, Tom. Stay safe and be well, dear pal.

We're all kinda in the same boat now, and it seems to be getting worse yet. Stay safe and stay well. This sure is some crazy stuff.
