Garfield the Cat Day
Reading Comprehension for June 19
Garfield the cat was born on June 19, 1978.
Some people say he weighed 5 pounds 6 ounces when he was born. That is a very big kitten! He lived in an Italian restaurant for a while. Then he ate so much food that the owner sold him to a pet store. Garfield was sure his life was over.
One day Jon Arbuckle came to the store. Jon took one look at the fat and lazy orange cat.
"What does he eat?" he asked the storeowner.
"Everything he can find," the owner said. "He likes lasagna and coffee best."
