Garfield is a fictional character and one of the most well-known and popular cats in America. The big question on everyone’s mind is what type of cat is Garfield the cartoon feline?<\/p>\n

There are several orange cat breeds that Garfield may or may not be mistaken for. In this article, we will look at eight Garfield cat breeds and what makes them so lovable.<\/p>\n

What Kind Of Cat Is Garfield?<\/h2>\n

Jim Davis, the creator of Garfield<\/a>, has been asked what breed this fictional feline is, and he has said that Garfield is a composite of different kinds of breeds.<\/p>\n

However, if we wanted to narrow it down, based on his personality, facial features, and striped ginger fur, Garfield is possibly an orange tabby Persian cat or Exotic Shorthair cat (which is the Persian cat’s shorthaired cousin).<\/p>\n

Both breeds have laid-back personalities, and love to lay around and enjoy the company of their humans.\u00a0Taking a look at the breeds’ body types \u00a0(which are similar), the Persian and Exotic Shorthair have short yet large body frames (referred to as cobby) with a fluffy tail and an adorable, squishy round face.<\/p>\n
