I guess it is a bit weird since while Garfield is the main character, Jon is almost as prominent as Garfield himself. That being said, animal characters are usually just perfect for plushes and the like and while Garfield is sort of for all ages, plushes and toys are aimed at kids usually and I just don't see most kids wanting a Jon plush lol

Even in Snoopy, which Garfield took inspiration from, the main kids have plush toy versions. I guess Jon is just not meant to resonate with people since his character is meant to be as repulsive as possible (so that Garfield can continue to insult him at every opportunity), and his design is a bit uncanny when converted to 3D (his 2D look is fine though).

Again, even Wario and Waluigi have plushies despite their ugly behaviour and/or design, which is amusing but the end result is that they do look cute so it was a successful result. Perhaps tangentially related but even Tingle also has a plush!

It's simple. Garfield and Odie are cute marketable animals and Jon is a boring old human.
