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.

Ramblings

 Hello, furriends!

Ernie, Scooby, Mackerull, Dai$y and all the rest of the blogging family, hope you're doing okay. I don't think we know anybody on here who's going through summer right now as we suffer through the winter. It's funny how that goes. Woohoo switcheroo - after winter, we trade places. I can't wait!

Nothing new going on, really, except out of a clear blue sky, Bridget is camera-shy. She says she had an itch, but she held this pose fur-evvvver. Lately she's been turning away from the camera. We have no clue what's up with that. We'll just wait it out. Next, it'll be something else.

Me?

Oh, I'm not camera shy in the least. The housekeeper always knows how to take the perfect photo of me. Like here.

Ladycats...no swooning allowed! I don't have any smelling salts!

Oh Tom!
You are certainly swoon-worthy!
Bridget just doesn't feel the need.
We are in The Midwest, and are getting snow this very moment. It's supposed to keep this up ALL DAY, and it's cold too.
Spring cannot come soon enough, imho.

Eric was the same, but Flynn was a real poser.

They could use your photo Tom on a cat food bag it is so good! No summer anywhere in sight, in fact, it is so foggy we can't see anything period.I don't know what this camera shy business is all about, except if you use the flash, which must be blinding to cat eyes. I never use it.If Bridget doesn't want her photo taken so be it. Maybe a treat before and after would help.
