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.

Wish I Had Her Energy!

Hi, efurrybody!

Another week, another Monday and full steam ahead!

Penny eats as much as we do, but keeps her slim fizzeek. It's pretty amazing. She's also full of the kind of energy I wish I still had. Oh, I'll play and all, but snoozing is definitely preferable over chasing a toy mouse!

Here she is, ready to pounce! A big gulp of windowsill whiffies and the mouse doesn't stand a chance!




 

And the knock-'em-dead bunny kicks!



I'm glad I'm not that mouse! (Or, is it a bird, can't tell, lol!)

Ms. Penny, I just LOVE playful cats! (I love snoozers too Tom)

Tom we are older and more, um, mature so approach our play with more thought and our naps with more intensity

Penny's giving that toy the what for!

Go, Penny!

But naps are also good.
