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.

The Day After

Hi, furriends!

Hope you had a good Halloween. Ours was quiet. Snoozes were only interrupted in our peaceful slumber yesterday by kitchen noises. You know what we mean, cans opening, dishes lined up on the counter, rattling of utensils. Fortunately, Bridget had enough time to finish grooming me and getting me ready for a hearty meal!


We didn't have to dress up in costume which was okay with us. The only thing was our graphics to remind us of the holiday and Black Cat Appreciation Day.

Especially if the cat is musically inclined! (Beware the rabbit, though. He has a strange look in his eye!)

So now we're facing a brand-new month. November, here we come!

Strum those banjos and let's have some fun!

Da Boyz groom each other, but there is usually a bitey here or there.

Halloween was a total non-event. No costumes treats or nothing! It was the same last year. That rabbit on the cover looks suspicious.

Our Halloween was quiet. Since we live in an apartment building we don't get trick or treaters - which our mom misses a lot!

Love the sweet grooming session, you guys. 'round here you'd never even have known it was Halloween. Just another quiet night in the mountains. Banjos, huh? Must be in our neck of the woods...
