Cactus Jake is the foreman of the Polecat Flats ranch, and a friend of Jon.
Personality
Jake has a habit of saying Jon and Garfield's names wrong, usually calling Jon "Johnny Boy" and the latter "Garfunkel" or "Gargamel".
Every time Garfield wears a cowboy outfit, Jake always believes that he is a real cowboy named "Shorty" (Jon would always recognize "Shorty" as Garfield, however).
He has three sons named Cactus Joe, Cactus Jimmy, and Cactus Josh, and a daughter named Cactus Jackie.
