Morrie.

Short for Morrison. Short for James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree.

Morrie is my daughter’s cat, which is another way to say, Susan is Morrie’s person. The shelter named him Morrison, and Susan figured he had experienced enough confusions in his life without starting life in a new home with a new name, so it stuck, though it seemed natural to both shorten and lengthen it. Morrie was rescued from a dire hoarding situation, where he was one of 150 cats removed from a house in Phoenix. He was so poorly socialized he was practically un-adoptable, and spent months at the shelter before Susan began her patient work of helping him live in a proper and loving home. In just a few months he has gone from wild cat to lap cat, living his best life.
