Vintage Morris the Cat 9Lives Cat Food Brand Advertising Ceramic Mug ~ Tabby Cat
Vintage ceramic cup / mug features a head shot image of the iconic Morris the Cat, the finicky feline who became the beloved advertising face for 9Lives Cat Food and starred in many commercials in the 1970s and 1980s. Features the iconic image of the ginger colored Morris against a white background above red text that reads, MORRIS. Sits on a raised base. Sports a stylish rectangular shaped handle. Measures 3.5” tall with a 3” diameter; 4.5” across including handle. Holds 11 fluid oz. Decorated by PAPEL.
The original Morris, a tabby cat, was a rescue cat adopted in 1968 and died of old age in July 1978, at the age of 17 (90 in cat years). His obituary appeared in newspapers worldwide. After his death, subsequent Morris actors were also rescue cats, and the 9Lives brand continued to use his image and legacy to promote animal adoption.
