MURRAY DECLARES HALLOWEEN STUPID. WILL GO AS HIMSELF.

OCTOBER 31, 2026 / BY THE CAT DISTRICT STREET DESK

Murray rests his paws on a self-help manuscript at a desk, with his abandoned ship wig, lobster platter, cathedral and solar-system costumes behind him.

Murray has abandoned his costumes and announced that Halloween is stupid. He is going as himself, a decishun he describes as brave.

He is now writing a self-help book about stopping the exhausting pretense of being something you are not and learning to love yourself. Early chapters address authentisity, boundries and why other people should carry your rejected solar system to the garage.

His publissher asked whether the ship wig undermined his authority on the subject.

Murray said that was the old Murray. The old Murray had no book deal.

Fiction & satire. These cats and their scandals are invented.
