Meow Meow (July 1936 – 19 May 1948) was the pet cat of Seamus Callahan and the extended Callahan family from 1938 to 1948. Adopted as a stray cat, he was the only pet of Callahan who lived secluded life after the death of Olivia Marcella. Meow Meow accompanied Seamus Callahan during his tenure as General Secretary and 4th Secretariat of the United Commonwealth. In the aftermath of Callahan's death in June of 1947 he was accused by several of Callahan's political opponents as the cause of his death, although he was quickly acquitted by Jack Tracy, John L. Lewis and Hoyt Vandenberg of the Second Triumvirate.
Biography
Meow Meow was most likely born between 1935 and 1936, based on several veterinarian experts during the time. Meow Meow was discovered by Seamus Callahan in a couch in 1936 during a New Years celebration, left behind by Callahan's niece Alexandria Callahan. Seamus quickly grew fond of the cat, and adopted the feline. His name is inspired by Seamus's niece who named the cat based off its vocal attitude.
Meow Meow was a dedicated hunter and regularly retrieved birds and other small game for Callahan throughout his tenure.
