Muddy

Mud Murphy

Late August 1993 - August 9, 2007

Mud in his basketSALEM - Muddy ‘Skip’ or ‘Mocket’ Murphy passed away peacefully at the Companion Pet Clinic Thursday evening, as a result of kidney failure. The family painfully decided to have him euthanized after learning of his sickness.

Mud was a strong-willed, warmly loved cat to the entire Murphys of Oregon family. He first came to live with Patrick in the early fall of 1993, in an apartment in Haslett, Michigan. Over the years, Mud called many houses “home”, living in several cities in Michigan including East Lansing, Cass City, and Flushing before moving to Salem, Oregon.

Mud enjoyed spending time sleeping & eating — as most cats are wont to do. He also enjoyed wrestling with his “brother” Clovis, as well as chasing toy mice. Some of his favorite activities were knocking over glasses of water or flowers, pushing items off of tabletops, and pawing the metal blinds in the middle of the night. Of course, now, those actions will be missed.

Mud has touched many lives and will be greatly missed.

    Geez, we were just talking about Mud and the newer addition, Clovis, last week. That’s sad. Sorry to hear about that, too. It must be a tough decision, but another one of those life lessons we also talked about. Bet you’ll be on the lookout for another one, since you mentioned that a house should have two cats. Want one of ours? :-) (Just joking, Jean)

    Pat & Michelle - Sorry to hear about Mud, he was quite a guy. I think he enjoyed the Thanksgiving Day Lions game with the…you know…the dip stuff…as much as I did!?!?
