Why We Adore Garfield the Cat Day
Cats are sacrosanct
Ancient Egyptians regarded cats, or “Mau,” as sacred, and domesticated cats came to represent grace and elegance. If you are familiar with Garfield, you are aware that he agrees unequivocally.
Compare opinion and perception
An opinion is a belief about something, whereas a perception is how we perceive the relationship between that belief and other objects. Exists a difference? Ask Garfield, and he’ll give you his opinion, or perhaps his perspective…in any case, he’ll give you much to ponder.
Laughter is the most effective medicine
Everyone can benefit from a hearty laugh, as it reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and boosts the immune system. What better way to maintain good health than to chuckle your way through Garfield’s acerbic observations on everything?
