Morris the Cat really likes 9Lives rich, red Tuna meat

9Lives is the name of a brand of cat food, owned by Del Monte Foods. It is best known for its mascot, Morris the Cat.

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 9Lives brand, making this preference clear by means of humorously sardonic voice-over comments when offered other brands.

Although generally recognised for his work on He-Man, John Erwin has many years of voice acting to his credit, and has provided voice work for many productions ranging from television adverts to live action movies ever since the 1960s.

Hibernating with Labatt Blue

Labatt Brewing Company Ltd. is a Canadian beer company, founded by John Kinder Labatt in 1847 in London, Ontario. In 1995 it was purchased by Belgian brewer Interbrew, now known as InBev.

Hibernation is a state of inactivity and metabolic depression in animals, characterized by lower body temperature, slower breathing, and lower metabolic rate. Hibernation conserves energy, especially during winter. Hibernation may last several days or weeks depending on species, ambient temperature, and time of year. The typical winter season for a hibernator is characterized by periods of hibernation interrupted by sporadic euthermic arousals wherein body temperature is restored to typical values. Hibernation allows animals to conserve energy during the winter when food is short. During hibernation, animals drastically lower their metabolism so as to tap energy reserves stored as body fat at a slower rate.
