Fan Casting Balls of Yarn in Garfield

Throughout, balls of yarn were rarely sentient. However, after the turn of the millennium, they began to communicate with Garfield through thought, and even bounce after him, sometimes resulting in week-long series. They often talk like casual friends and the yarn sometimes complain about Garfield not playing with them regularly or about their boring lifestyle. Other characters have played with yarn as well. During the early years, Nermal played with balls of yarn, which he saw as a cute thing to do. Odie has also interacted with yarn, but this is very rare.
