Garfield's Mad About Cats is a 1999 Windows/Macintosh game based on the comic strip Garfield. The main plot in this game is "to build the world's most perfect cat", with optional games to play during downtime.
Plot[]
One sunny day, Jon unsuccessfully chases a mouse while Garfield is resting. Upon falling down, Jon tells Garfield to act like other cats, particularly in chasing mice. Angered, Garfield goes to his secret lab with Odie to make the perfect cat.
Garfield, as Dr. Frankencat, works in his lab (located in Jon's basement); Odie, as Eager, is sent to get parts around the world to create the perfect cat. A computer assists them in their mission. After acquiring all features, Dr. Frankencat will present it, with varying results.
