I live in Hinsdale, which is a suburb of Chicago, and have visited the Hinsdale Humane Society many times. One time, I learned that the original Morris the cat was adopted there, so I have changed it from "a Chicago animal shelter" to "Hinsdale Humane Society." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.214.216.193 ( talk)

Reverted. The above qualifies as original research — Micahbrwn ( talk) 20:06, 13 June 2008 (UTC) reply

I don't have a TV, and I haven't seen 9 Lives ad for over 10 years. But, the kitten in the picture in this article doesn't look like the Morris I remember. I doubt it is Morris. Can someone confirm that it is or is not Morris in the picture? SlowJog ( talk) 21:14, 28 December 2018 (UTC) reply

Thanks, whoever removed the picture. SlowJog ( talk) 18:26, 20 March 2019 (UTC) reply

the cat had ALL of his teeth removed so that he could eat only the soft food they were peddling. 65.95.193.195 ( talk) 19:04, 29 December 2023 (UTC) reply
