Garfield

Garfield, also known as Fat Cat, is the titular main protagonist from the Garfield series.
== Charactah Account ==
Garfield is an overweight, bipedal orange tabby cat noted for his laziness, sarcasm, arrogance, selfishness, and intense passion for food—particularly lasagna and most other foods made from flour. He dislikes raisins and anchovy pizza.
Throughout the course of the strip, Garfield's weight has been made an object of ridicule, frequently by the electronic scale which he uses to weigh himself. Garfield usually does not handle insults or commands from the talking scale RX-2 very well, and will normally respond to such remarks with either a saucy comeback or some sort of threat of violence, in spite of the fact that the character solely communicates through thought bubbles.
Garfield lives with his nerdy, socially awkward owner Jon Arbuckle and Jon's dimwitted pet dog Odie, and derives pleasure from satirically mocking the stupid actions performed by the two. Garfield seems to abhor Odie, and derives joy from causing him physical harm or insulting him, such as kicking him off tables, seldom showing empathy for the beagle. Odie shows Garfield no belligerence of any kind and never deliberately causes him harm (though Odie does occasionally prank Garfield and has made fun of his weight and, more recently, his age.) Garfield despises him nonetheless and is apt to make rude and sassy comments based on Odie's apparent lack of intelligence. Garfield also frequently insults and pokes fun at Jon for his nerdy behavior and unpopularity with women, along with his unconventional and eccentric fashion sense.
