      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.)
