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.

Standoff!!

 Hi, friends and a Happy New Year to you all!

It might be a new year and all, but some things just never change and never will.

In this instance, there's plenty of room at the window for both of us to share, but does it happen? Nope. If Bridget hops up first, there's no sharing. If I beat her to it, I usually am the gentleman and share.

You can just tell by this photo who arrived first (see my head hackles?!) Here I am, taking a stand...and so is she!! Hahaha...!


How did this end, you ask?

Me, on the floor, of course!

Like I said, some things never change. I'll try to be quicker on the draw next time and get to the window first!

Have a happy week, everybody 😊

Tom, Bridget and Penny xoxoxo

Competition for the winter window sunpuddle seems to have both of you a bit unsettled. Hopefully a truce will be in place for your next window encounter.

Bridget thinks what's hers is hers and what is yours is hers too!

Yeah Tom my sister is a bit possessive of anything she is at first. We do the same buddy as we are Big Cats at heart
