O’Malley was one of the fluffiest orange tabbies that have ever lived.  He had a rough start to his life, but after coming to live with Marshall and eventually Michelle too, he began to live the good life.  After 10 years of life, he left this world too quickly, but will be remembered by so many people, and his furry brother, O’Shaunessey.  O’Malley loved to have his picture taken and his ideal Seattle rainy day was to be inside, either sleeping on the bed or on the dining room carpet.  He was a big, fat, fluffy cat, and was a chatty, loud, raspy-sounding kitty who looooooooooooved to talk talk talk.   The only laps that he would sit on were his mom and dad, Michelle & Marshall.  Anytime visitors would come over to the house, he would usually go into hiding, or come out and visit briefly enough to meow and then run away when you went to say hello to him.  He would also wait for Michelle to get home from work, either waiting for her in the yard, or if he was inside, he would be waiting at the top of the stairs for her.

Erik’s favorite memory of O’Malley is when he was roommates with Marshall in Ballard and O’Malley would lie out on the carport roof in the sun, overlooking the yard, causing Erik to start into his Serengeti Desert spiel.  His fur would blow in the wind and he thought he owned that yard. 

Erin didn’t know O’Malley very well, but thought he was quite pretty (for a boy) and used Michelle’s “O’Malley, so fluffy” spiel every time she saw him.

Danielle’s special memory of O'Malley was when he was a kitten and would come over to their house for a visit.  His favorite game was to drag himself across the orange shag carpet with one front paw.  It was funny every time.

Katie’s favorite memories of O’Malley are when she would come over to visit and want so badly to hold him, but every time she would approach him, he would run just out of reach.  Also, when he was lying next to her, she could move her hand close to touching him and at the same distance each time, he would let out his signature meow.  Katie would play this game over and over with him with the same result each time!

O’Malley – although your time on earth was short, know that you were loved by so many and will be missed forever!

Much love,
Marshall & Michelle – from the Cuatro Club
