So, how did this fantastic feline deserve his own day, you ask? Well, back in 2012, the Garfield comic strip was published in over 250 newspapers worldwide, reaching an astonishing 200 million readers daily! To celebrate this incredible milestone, Jim Davis declared June 19th Garfield's official birthday, and thus, Garfield the Cat Day was born!
