I've been looking at Garfield comics as part of this whole cat study and I came across this site that has taken Garfield out of all of the Garfield comics. So you are only left with this Jon Arbuckle character who is just talking to himself. It somehow makes it even funnier than the actual comics. It kind of points out a similar idea to what my project is trying to point out, cats are used to fulfill this need for intimacy. You will notice in the original Garfield comics Garfield doesn't actually talk, his responses are always in thought bubbles, so it is kind of like Jon Arbuckle is talking to himself anyway.
So compare the actual site

to Garfield minus Garfield
