And instead of Garfield’s gluttony being a cute quirk, we’re forced to spend an entire movie reckoning with the possibility this cat may, in fact, have developed a serious eating disorder.

Garfield is an orange tabby cat with a love of lasagna and a disdain for Mondays. He tends to torment his owner and dog while trying to secure more food - and quiet.

Cats' behaviour can be cutely comic at times, and now their behaviour has been celebrated in an exhibition of cats in comics.

Cats in Cartoons is on until 7 September 2025 at The Cartoon Museum, 63 Wells Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1A 3AE.
