Merge. I have a slight preference for merging to
9Lives (cat food) over a straight keep as Metropolitan90 and Reywas92 discuss after reading the above sources in this discussion. Since it's all part of an advertising campaign, that's really the better home. Even though the mascot itself has some notability, I'm not seeing that notability being clearly distinguished from the company advertising or advocacy (i.e., the "home" for Morris' notability already exists elsewhere). If there was a very clear delineation, I'd say keep instead, but in such a case, I'd expect content more worthy of a
WP:SUMMARY section at 9Lives rather than just the short sentence saying It is best known for its mascot, Morris. I don't see that kind of high-level content coming out even with additional editing.

Keep, although I understand the impetus of the nom. As GentlemanGhost points out, the fact that the first Morris has a NYT obit tips the scales in my judgement.
