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.

Oh, No...

Oh, widdle-dee-dee and woe is me
It's Monday morn and I can see
Friends bracing themselves for another week
Bridget in charge?!! Time for hidey-hole to seek!

That's the extent of my creativity, taking all of my energy. I'm ready to pass out.

I've decided I'm putting Bridget in charge of the week coming up,
perched on her favorite step, overseeing all the activity and making
sure everything meets her high standards...I know, it can be a bit much, but
the housekeeper is out of control and Penny comes up with too many wisecracks!

So, I have no choice.
Bridget'll be watching!!!


She's sitting on the steps leading up to the attic, one of her favorite places, especially this past winter when she hung out there to catch unsuspecting mice. Can you believe this sweet face would carry a struggling mouse in her mouth? 
I know, me neither.

I'd rather see her play.


But..this week it's all business.

She'll make sure the next stretch of days turns out okay and that, my friends, is a big responsibility!

So until the next Mancat Monday, don't drop your kibble, remember to cuddle and don't make a puddle!! Hehe

Good time for you to delegate responsibilities and take a vacation Tom.
