As an iconic spokescat and star of over 50 9Lives cat food commercials from the 1970s onward, Morris has a prolific career envied by many of the Internet cat sensations of today. The secret to his longevity? Well, for one, the fact that he eats 9Lives. But more importantly, he has a disciplined sleep regimen – racking up about 140 hours per week!
Morris wants to teach YOU the tricks of the trade and give you all the tools you need, so he's hosting a giveaway on his Live Well & Prospurr site to win a Morris-shaped plush bed that's big enough for you AND your cat to snuggle up on.
Dear Morris,
My cat and I are BFFs. We do everything together – play, eat, snuggle – we make a purrfect team. But in the bedroom, I prefer to have my space. My cat, on the other hand, thinks there's no better place to sleep than right on my head! Why does she do this? I'm not all that fun when I'm sleeping.
Warmly,
Tired Tails
Dear Tired Tails,
You have been bestowed a great honor. As cats, we don't always wear our hearts on our paws, but one tell-tail sign we love and trust you is when we choose to make YOU our bed. Plus, you're warm. And getting our warmth from you helps us to conserve our own energy for more important things like eating. The rhythm of your breath also creates a calming effect and the curve of your face, stomach, or legs perfectly forms to our bodies. Basically, you're like a waterbed, heated blanket, and memory foam all in one! So the next time your cat goes to curl up on you, think of it as a compliment and drift off to sleep knowing you are loved... and you're very comfortable.
Thank you, Morris the Cat, for your wonderful nighttime tips! See the rest of them here and here. For more info on Morris' mission to help cats and humans live well – including his initiative to donate one million 9Lives meals to rescue kitties – check out his Live Well & Prospurr website. And while you're there, enter to win the limited-edition, human-sized Morris the Cat plush bed along with a year's supply of 9Lives!
And now for the exciting part! Morris has donated a Happy Kitty Kit for us to give away to one lucky reader residing in the United States. The winner will receive a Catit lounger scratcher (one of our FAVE things!), a 12 pack of 9Lives canned food, and a Smarty Cat chickadee toy - that chirps!

ReplyDeleteOMG, our three cats would love to win this! We have one of those scratches, but it's really falling apart after so much use and we could really use a new one.
ReplyDeleteI love scratchers. I kill them dead within 4-5 months, so Mom is always having to buy new ones. Thanks for the giveaway and good luck to everyone.
ReplyDeleteCarmine loves his Catit scratcher, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind at all if he won another one!
ReplyDeleteThat's some great napping, and more good advice from Morris. :)
ReplyDeleteWe bet the PAWS cats would love that scratcher!
Oh my furbabies would love this! Canned food is a treat for them, and the couch is perfect! Would enjoy seeing which one of the cats would claim it. Thanks for the opportunity to win! And I must look up these cat beds if I get into Petsmart in the near future...jeaniedannheim (at) ymail (dot) com

My cats would love to win and open the box. This prize is super! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteMy assistant is the worst when it comes sleeping! She just doesn't sleep much which makes her kind of loopy. I'm pretty sure she could learn a thing or two from Morris!
ReplyDeleteMy rescue kitties would love this!
ReplyDeleteOne of my cats sleeps with me and the dog but my other 2 cats sleep with my daughter. They are quite the bed hogs too.
ReplyDeleteI always feel so honored when my wonderful kitty-boy sleeps next to me at night!
