Garfield: This show is K rated. No adults unless accompined by a kid.
Our story opens at the Arbuckle house where we see Odie next to Jon's chair chewing on a bone. At that same time, Garfield is thinking of something sneaky.
"Odie's playing in front of the recliner" Garfield looked at the readers "Watch this!"
Garfield ran to the chair and pounced right on it, which activated the foot rest, which kicked Odie into the air and then Odie fell back down safely.
"It took me a while to come up with that" Garfield looked at the audience.
Odie walked back to the recliner and kicked the footrest back with his hind legs and Garfield was sent flying across the house and landed in the strange concoction Jon was making.
"Check this out Garfield," Jon told his cat "It's my latest recipie, peanut butter and fish head stew. With a side of pickles and chocolate sauce.
Garfield put his tounge on the strange substance.
"Did this guy fail home ec or what?" Garfield gacked.
"Ruff! Ruff!" Odie licked the stew off Garfield.
"Not now Odie!" Garfield tried to get away.
Odie kept licking Garfield.
"Odie no!" Garfield showed his claws and scratched Odie a bit.
Jon picked Garfield up "That's it Garfield! You're staying outside until I'm done cooking!"
"Good," Garfield rolled his eyes "You know better than to use cruelty towards animals!"
Jon threw Garfield outside onto the porch.
"Okay Jon," Garfield tried to walk back in "I'll give you one more chance to apolo-"
Jon slammed the door shut.
"Dang," Garfield walked away "This sucks."
Garfield started to walk around the cul-de-sac sidewalk.
"It's no big deal," he kept walking "Anybody would want a cat as adorable as me. I'm almost as cute as the next cat around."
Garfield made cute kitty eyes at the passing humans, but he was ignored.
"Gee," he thought "So much for wanting a cute cat."
"Aww," said a little girl who was passing by "Look at the little kitty."
The little girl picked up Garfield.
"Do you have a home little kitty?" asked the girl.
Garfield shook his head.
"Then come with me widdle kitty" the girl carried Garfield "We'll get you some yummy food."
"Works like a charm" Garfield thought "This'll show Jon not to throw me out."
The little girl was cuddling Garfield.
"Does kitty witty wanna take a nappy wappy?" she asked Garfield.
"Kitty witty is getting sicky wicky" Garfield rolled his eyes "I'm starting to think this was a bad idea. Where am I gonna live?"
"Here's your new home kitty" the little girl pointed to her house.
Garfield was shocked. It was a big gated mansion. He ran into the house and saw all the amazing wonders. Then, he ran into the kitchen and saw about the biggest fridge he saw.
"I can't believe it" he saw the fridge "A fridge with its own zip code."
Garfield stood on his hind legs and used his front paws to open the fridge. It was full of food.
"It's all I've ever wanted" he jumped into the fridge and started taking out everything he wanted "This should fill me up till dinner"
Just then, the little girl picked up Garfield.
"Don't eat that kitty," she took him to a table "You'll get a tummy ache. I'll get you something good to eat."
"I wonder what she'll bring me" Garfield thought "Maybe fillet migion, no a big pot roast, no they'll barbeque a whole herd of bulls!"
The little girl came back with a bowl full of cat food.
"Here you go kitty," she fed Garfield "This is a special health food for kitties."
"Oh my god!" Garfield hacked "This stuff is worse than Jon's stew!"
"Here kitty," the little girl fed Garfield some more food "Have it all."
When the little girl finished feeding Garfield the health food, she took him upstairs to her room and dressed him up in pretty clothes.
"Awww," she gushed at him "You're so adorable."
"I never ridiculed you when your parents dressed you like this" Garfield looked at the audience.
"Now for a nap kitty" the little girl put Garfield in a baby bed.
"At least this can't get any worse" he thought.
The little girl sang off key "Rock a bye kitty, in the tree top..."
"I was wrong" Garfield thought. "I'm getting outta here!"
Garfield leaped out of the bed and slid down the stair rail.
"Thank goodness I survived that one" he sighed.
"Poor kitty," the little girl came downstairs "You must be lonely. Why don't you play with Nipsy? He's the cutest most adorable puppy dog ever."
"Nispy, eh?" Garfield thought "Bet I could have some fun with Nipsy.
The little girl put Garfield down in front of a dog house.
"Oh Nipsy come out!" Garfield snickered.
Nipsy came out all right, but she was far from an adorable puppy. She was a big, brown bulldog growling at Garfield.
"AAAHHH!" Garfield ran back to the Arbuckle house.
"There goes another one" the little girl shrugged.
Back at Jon's house, Jon was on his recliner with Odie, thinking about Garfield.
"Maybe I was a little rough on Garfield" he told Odie.
"Hmmm." Odie nodded.
"I'll just let him in" Jon walked to the front door. "Oh Garfie-"
Garfield jumped right on Jon's face.
"That was fast" Jon remarked.
"Oh it's great to be back" Garfield landed on the floor (on his feet of course).
"Ruff! Ruff!" Odie jumped on Garfield and licked him.
"Aw, what the hey?" Garfield hugged Odie "I guess there really no place like home."
