This did not sit right with the Garfield WIkipedia community apparently, as citations of Garfield's gender began pouring onto the page.

Oh.
The edit war waged on furiously for 60 hours until Wikipedia was forced to lock the Garfield page in hopes that the heat would die down.
After the controversy made waves on social media,The Washington Postdecided to take matters into their own hands and finally get to the bottom of this by reaching out to Jim Davis.
“Garfield is male,” Davis said. “He has a girlfriend, Arlene.”
Upon hearing Jim Davis' remarks, Texas backed down, saying on Twitter, "Jim Davis is the final authority on Garfield canon."
