GARFIELD’s HISTORY
Garfield was born on June 19, 1978 in Mama Leone's kitchen (Italian restaurant). He weighed 5 pounds 6 ounces (thats really big for a kitten) and ever since then he loved Italian food. The restaurant owner was forced to choose between Garfield and closing his doors for lack of pasta so he sold Garfield to a pet store. Garfield thought he was a goner until Jon Arbuckle walked in the door.
On August 7, 1978 Lyman appeared on Jon's doorstep and said, "I'm cold. I'm hungry. I'm weak. Take me in!" And Jon let him stay, but Lyman had brought a dog. The dog's name was Odie. Then he disappeared on some unknown day and left Odie behind and he never came back (sounds like a case for the X-Files).
