Famous Felines - Morris
Published in Cats & Dogs News
Morris the Cat is the advertising mascot for 9Lives brand cat food, appearing on its packaging and in many of its television commercials. A large red tabby tom, he is "the world's most finicky cat", and prefers only his brand, making this preference clear by means of humorously sardonic voice-over comments when offered other brands. Morris has starred in the movie Shamus with Burt Reynolds and Dyan Cannon in 1973 and has also appeared as a "spokescat" promoting responsible pet ownership, pet health and pet adoptions through animal shelters.
