Earlier this month, @hannahjdotca alerted me to the existence of this weird novelty calendar with a cat in front of an old HP computer. I couldn’t help but grabbing it and scanning it all.pic.twitter.com/RhDh6MZnDz

I’m perplexed at how this was made. Did they really take the cat outside for these?pic.twitter.com/0O4gQzb2bw
I got this calendar used, so I also have all of these pages filled out with urgent activities of 1986 – which, I’ll admit, is kind of creepy.pic.twitter.com/x1sundfHl0
Anyway, I scanned it for posterity here: https://archive.org/details/Morris-ACatForOurTimes-The1986MorrisCalendar …
And, apparently, Morris was on a few more calendars around the same era: https://www.villagevoice.com/2015/04/21/the-morris-vs-1980-cat-food-calendar-invented-ridiculous-cat-photo-blogposts/ … (My friend tells me it was a pretty popular “commercial cat” of its time – but this is all news to me.)
