HE’S SELFISH, SARCASTIC, SLUGGISH, AND SURPRISINGLY…ENDEARING - HE’S GARFIELD!

Jon Arbuckle’s sassy pet cat is passionate about food and sleep, so you won’t catch him exercising any time soon. Though fellow pet Odie might be a fun-loving doofus of a dog, Garfield’s got enough snarky commentary for the whole house. Quite simply, he’s 100% that cat. Now, pass the lasagna!

<h5>Garfield</h5>
Garfield

He’s fat, selfish, cynical, and lazy…and he loves himself so much that we can’t help but love him, too! His passions include food, sleep, and TV. You won’t catch him exercising and he does not celebrate Mondays. He’s all sass and sarcasm, but he also has a soft side. He loves his teddy bear, Pooky, and deep down he even loves owner Jon and dopey pal Odie!

<h5>Odie</h5>
Odie

Odie is Garfield’s loyal best bud who stares, slobbers, and always winds up the butt of Garfield’s jokes. He’s a free spirit with love to spare for everyone, even if he can only communicate it through barks.

<h5>JON ARBUCKLE</h5>
JON ARBUCKLE

Jon is Garfield’s easygoing, daydreaming, wishy-washy owner. Despite Garfield’s schemes and mischief, Jon still provides shelter, food, love, and attention through it all. Decent, dull, and a bit of a geek, Jon still has a heart of gold.

<h5>Arlene</h5>
Arlene

Garfield’s dinner companion, Arlene can trade insults just like her feline counterpart. They have a love-hate relationship, in the sense that Garfield loves himself and Arlene hates that. She’s snarky and assertive, yet sweet and romantic. Now, if only Garfield could get his ego in check, these two could be the purrfect match.

<h5>Nermal</h5>
Nermal

Quite simply, the world’s cutest kitten…and he knows it. Like an annoying little brother, Nermal often makes fun of Garfield’s looks and age, but Garfield still manages to get in his licks (he might occasionally mail Nermal halfway around the world).

<h5>Pooky</h5>
Pooky

Despite being inanimate, Pooky is Garfield’s only true confidant. He never speaks, thinks, reacts, or, well, does anything at all. He does allow Garfield to show his softer side, though, which is important. Pooky is cuddly, understanding, and always there for Garfield.
