Clydii Armstrong
Clydii Armstrong, after a short illness, died at home on February 19, 2002. He was surrounded by his human parents, Dick and Mary Armstrong and his grandmother Janet Mackey. A life long resident of Olympia, little is known of his first year prior to his adopting us in 1987. But from the day he allowed us to live with him, he enjoyed the Cadillac of cat lives.
Clydii had an advanced degree in sleeping, and as an expert in his field - set a standard few but the disciplined could attain. He also minored in Home Defense and Culinary Delights. Ever vigilant, he enjoyed surveying his property so long as wet grass blades did not get between his toes. And Clydii loved good food - no more needs to be said.
We miss Clydii - knucklehead that he sometimes was. We received a lot of joy by living with this special creature. We were truly blessed to have him in our lives for fifteen years. We believe he is now with his granddad, Wayne doing that which he loved best.
