Note: This is an embedded video from another website. Garfield behaves like a rough and ready tomcat which he Garfield Show #PrimarkSummerUp #thegarfieldshow #garfield #fyp #foryou #euan #euanmarshallem #euanmarshall #marshall He does not behave like a refined Persian cat. Importantly, I think, is the fact that Garfield, the cartoon character, behaves like a moggy tomcat. I have to conclude, at this time, that Wikipedia is incorrect and therefore every author of every other website is also incorrect unless someone can prove to me otherwise. And he decided to come up with a comic strip about a cat because the “noticed there were a lot of comic strip dogs who were commanding their share of the comic pages but precious few cats”. He said that he named Garfield after his grandfather who had two middle names, one of which was “Garfield”. Jim Davis, as mentioned below, is the creator of Garfield. Mr Rovin does not on any occasion in his section about Garfield state that this cartoon character is based upon a Persian cat. It is an awesome work and written in great detail. I have the best book on cartoon cats, in the world: The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Cartoon Animals by Jeff Rovin. This is an error which has not been picked up by the administrators as at the date of this update. Secondly, the authors have not capitalised the word “Persian”. The Wikipedia page has 30 references in all and not one supports the fact that Garfield is a Persian. I stress, there is no supporting reference for this “fact”. Wikipedia is known for providing references for the information that they state on their pages. The authors of this Wikipedia page do NOT provide any reference to support that statement. In their opening line they state that Garfield is a “cynical, orange, Persian tabby cat”. It seems certain to me that this information comes from Wikipedia. This is contrary to what I have stated in the opening paragraph on this page. Update May 18, 2022: I have noticed that there are now many websites which claim that Garfield is a Persian cat.
