You see, the “other” Garfield still continues to enjoy sharing himself in the homes of countless people who adore him. Now I am sure by now that you all are wondering why I am taking so much time to introduce myself. In fact, I may be one of the only kitties in the world that can truthfully brag about purring at the same time that I am polishing off my dinner. My favorite flavors are chicken, turkey or beef. But since I was born in very simple surroundings in Florida, I far prefer dining on a delicious and nutritious can of species appropriate cat food which my guardian carefully prepares for my meals. Since the “other” Garfield was born in Mamma Leone’s Italian restaurant I can readily understand why he so greatly enjoyed chowing down on a plate topped high with lasagna. Let me tell you folks, I am beautiful beyond description. We are both passionate “foodies”.Īnd while he is vastly overweight, maybe even considered to be obese by those in the “know”, I am a slim, trim, muscularly built “hotty”.

My name is Garfield.Tabby patterns assist in camouflage when cats are hiding in tall grasses or bushes hunting for prey just like tigers and leopards.Classic orange tabbies have richer, fuller fields of red than their mackerel counterparts.Classic black tabbies tend to have dark browns, olives, and ochres in their fur that stand out more against their blacks.Before, humans rely on cats to control vermins that destroy their crops.This pattern adds up to the distinctive patterns of tabby cats. ![]() A patched tabby is any of the four basic patterns with a patched pattern.There are sound genetic explanations for having a mackerel, classic, ticked, or spotted pattern in a tabby cat.A genetic study of tabbies found five genetic clusters to be ancestral to cats from various parts of the world.Orange tabby cats have a life expectancy of about 15 to 20 years.These cats can grow into a maximum weight of more or less 18 lbs, while their maximum height is about 16 in. ![]()
