Garfield is an orange tabby cat of an unspecified breed. The official word from his creator, Jim Davis, is that Garfield isn't one particular breed or even based off of a singular cat. Some people theorize that he could be a Persian, British Shorthair, or Maine Coon.
Created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, he is a grey and white anthropomorphic domestic short haired mute tuxedo british cat who first appeared in the 1940 MGM animated short Puss Gets the Boot.
Grumpy Cat was definitely a mixed breed and her family noted that she looked like she may have had some Persian, Ragdoll or Snowshoe in her.

The British Shorthair is known to be the inspiration for the Cheshire Cat in Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland."
