Garfield is one of the most beloved and iconic fictional cats in history. For over 40 years, Garfield has held a prominent place in popular culture from his birth as the headliner of a popular cartoon to his emergence as the emperor of a vast inventory of collectibles, multimedia, software, games, television shows, and motion pictures. His familiar orange face and signature smirk are more recognizable internationally than most heads of state and celebrities.Cathy Kothe is the current holder of the world record for number of Garfield collectibles and her husband Robert is the Official Collection Cataloger.
