Meaghan moved from the US to Glasgow about 20 years ago before she made a new home with her partner and young son in Ormskirk in about 2020. <\/p>\n
The family adopted Murt from charity Cats Protection after the death of their previous cat.<\/p>\n
“On his listing, he just has this huge nose. And I just fell in love with his face immediately”, Meaghan said. <\/p>\n
He is named after the character Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser in the historical fantasy TV show Outlander. <\/p>\n
“His full name is Murtagh Fitzgibbons, which we call him when he’s being in trouble or he’s getting into trouble. So yeah, he hears it a lot,” she said.<\/p>\n
Meaghan said she hopes Murt will “eventually stop” and that she has resisted calls to put a body-worn camera on him to find out where he is getting the food from.<\/p>\n
“We tried to follow him this morning, but he evaded us. He got through a fence, he slipped away,” she said, adding he knows he is being watched. <\/p>\n
“For such a ridiculous not-very-clever creature he’s got this nailed down.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meaghan moved from the US to Glasgow about 20 years ago before she made a new home with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":715082,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-715081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715081","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715081"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715081\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715082"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715081"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715081"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715081"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
