Morris 9Lives Cat Food Brand Mascot & TV Commercial 'Star' Since the 1970's

 MORRIS THE CAT

 

 Morris the Cat in 1970's Era 9-Lives Cat Food Commercial

 

Morris the Cat is the advertising mascot for 9Lives brand cat food, appearing on its packaging and in many of its television commercials from the 1970s.

Description

"A large orange tabby tomcat, the character of Morris the Cat is 'the world's most finicky cat', eating only 9Lives cat food and making this preference clear with humorously sardonic voice-over comments when offered other brands. Every can of 9Lives features Morris' 'signature'. Three different cats have played Morris the Cat.

The original Morris was discovered in 1968, at the Hinsdale Humane Society, a Chicago-area animal shelter, by professional animal handler Bob Martwick. An invention of the Leo Burnett advertising company where Martwick worked, Morris was featured in 58 television commercials which aired from 1969 to 1978. John Erwin provided the voice-over for the cat.  Morris won two PATSY Awards (an award for animal performers in film and television) in 1972 and 1973. The original Morris died on July 7, 1978, in his native Chicago of old age.

All cats to play Morris have been rescue animals, either from an animal shelter or a cat rescue. After receiving multiple contacts from individuals who claimed that they were the original owner of Morris, Bob Martwick chose not to reveal which shelter he obtained the second Morris from. After a yearlong search, Martwick selected the second Morris, who began appearing in commercials in 1979. The first two cats to play Morris lived with Martwick as pets. Morris's popularity continued into the 1980s, with the Leo Burnett Company orchestrating a mock presidential campaign for Morris in 1988."

 

Why did people wear big glasses in the 70s?

 

Why did people wear such big glasses & sunglasses in the 70s?

 

HELLO JACKIE-O!

 

Well, it was the 'style', but also celebrities like First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis frequently wore large round and/or square-framed glasses in the 60s, nicknamed Onassis glasses, whose popularity extended into the 1970s,. 

 

The rise of paparazzi culture began to sweep the world during this time, so oversized glasses were very popular for celebrities to try and hide from the paparazzi (& to protect their eyes from the photo flash).

 

The 'Jackie O' style was all pure class! She is shown here with a Long Sleeve tucked in collared foulard print blouse, smooth front tailored trousers, black leather loafers, signature sunglasses, long flip bobbed hairstyle, large black handbag with silver grommets and long black pendant necklace:
