Characters : Nermal


Cute gray kitten who flaunts his cuteness (the cutest kitten in the world, he says), which annoys Garfield immensely, he also has a very sarcastic attitude, usually resulting in Garfield trying to ship Nermal to Abu Dhabi. Often comes in unannounced, much to Garfield's chagrin, particularly by waking him up by shouting hello so loud that he jumps out of his bed. When he first appeared, he was owned by Jon's parents, but that connection was quickly dropped from the strip. When we see him, it is usually because Jon has to babysit him. He is not seen on Jon's parents' farm. Because of his eyelashes and seemingly effeminate personality, fans have often mistaken him as a girl; viewers of the television series will know that Nermal's voice sounded like a woman (he was in fact voiced by Desiree Goyette]). He first appeared on September 3, 1979. However, in Garfield: The Movie, Nermal appears as an adult Siamese rather than as a cute kitten.
