Garfield was never intended to be a particular cat breed but he looks just like a Persian Tabby.
He is said to be a composite of all the cats his creator ever met. Garfield is very similar to an orange Persian cat because he has black mackerel tabby stripes. If you want your own living, breathing Garfield Cat, a red Persian Tabby is the perfect breed and pattern to consider.
Finally, some people seem to think that Garfield is dead! I can assure you that he is not. Who Played Mrs. Norris in Harry Potter?
The Survival Kit for Cat Owners. There will be that emotional tag going with his voice. Murray, of course, played Venkman in the Ghostbusters films and would, in , provide the voice of Garfield in Garfield: The Movie.
So we just confirmed that the Garfield balloon, in fact, was the largest one by volume of gas. In the s, it wasn't unusual to see a number of cars with little Garfield plushes stuck to the windows with suction cups. But that wasn't the original design—or the intended use.

Occasionally, when Garfield flattens a spider with a magazine, he will leave the magazine out for Jon to read. When Jon opens the magazine, he finds a large, flattened out spider, causing him to scream in terror.
The spiders occasionally win against Garfield by avoiding getting swatted or finding a way to annoy or harm him, such as ruining his selfie. Garfield is often jealous of the treatment Nermal gets from many people, especially Jon. While not having any problem with him when having his peace and quiet undisturbed, Garfield will get very angry and annoyed when Nermal intentionally ruins it and will not have any problem with bullying or mailing him to Abu Dhabi him in return.
Garfield still dislikes Nermal and wishes he would leave him alone. They get along if they needed to be, or if Garfield is in a good mood. In the Garfield Show and the CGI movies, Garfield openly displays irritation with Nermal when he is there to intentionally annoy him and others. He once wore a mask of himself smiling to pretend to tolerate Nermal. Throughout the comic strips, Garfield and Arlene appear to be close.
Garfield would attempt to make some moves on Arlene, such as kissing her or attempting to compliment her, which would end with Arlene injuring him vaguely. As the comic strips went on, it was hinted that they are a pair. Garfield may have commitment issues with Arlene. In one comic strip, Garfield imagines a future of him and Arlene being married; he grows nervous when he imagines them having kittens and brushes the idea off.
In another strip, Arlene asks him from out of nowhere if it were legal for cats to get married. Garfield's face except for his mouth responds with a surprised and scared expression. When being asked by Arlene if he is okay, Garfield tells her that his brain is in pain.

Following an unsuccessful journey for Freddy Frog's "funny water", he expects Arlene and his fans to forget about him. When he gets encouragement from Freddy himself, Garfield puts on the clothes and dances with Arlene while fighting with Ramone until exposing him as Nermal.
Garfield then apologizes to Arlene, as this was more important than Fun Fest. They end up winning a perfect score and the two kiss. He likes to eat ferns and other types of flowers. Liz once said that the reason Garfield eats Jon's houseplants is due to the fact that he is so out of shape that plants are one of the few things that are easy for him to catch. Some strips feature common flowers talking to each other, only to be eaten by Garfield in the end. Besides kicking Odie off the table, when outside, Garfield enjoys teasing other dogs.
