speaking of glasgow cats, the university of glasgow had a longstanding feline visitor named miller who caused a minor media sensation when he died at age 18 a few years ago
BUILDING could be named after Glasgow University’s famous ‘Adam Smith’ cat following his death.The feline, real name Miller, died this week after 18 years as a much loved fixture around the campus that gave him his nickname.
And university sources say upcoming expansion of its main Gilmorehill campus could provide the opportunity for the legendary cat to be commemorated.
A source said: “We know he was much loved by students and the wider community.
“The redevelopment of the campus could provide us with a chance to name a building after him, or erect a statue.
James Harrison wrote: “I’ll always remember Miller poking in to my tutorials when I was in first year. He was a lovely cat and really cheered up a lot of students on campus.”
Owner Laura Kerr, 33, said the beloved moggy deteriorated quickly over the past few days.
The hairdresser said: “It’s been a very sad week but the overwhelming amount of love and support have helped the grief.
“It’s hard to believe he’s gone, I kind of thought he was invincible.
“It’d be fair to say that over his 18 years he used up all of his nine lives between squaring up to big dogs, run ins with cars and vanishing for weeks on end.””
