orange cat shouldn't eat that

detailling the stuff that garf/odie/others shouldn't eat/do you can follow along on the gocomics site if you want

[garfless]

July 15, 1978: The appearance of the dreaded lasagna. No.

[garfless]

maybe i should just make a masterpost of each instance of a particular thing idk.

[garfless]

July 12, 1978: Cats should not have access to hot surfaces, nor should they be outdoors unsupervised.

[garfless]

July 09, 1978: Steak again. Seasoning and sheer quantity of meat again. Ech.

[garfless]

July 07, 1978: Yeah, knitted fabrics and cats do not a friendship make. Jon should consider investing in scratching pads/posts/what have you.

[garfless]

July 04, 1978: Okay, here we go, first of my big gripes about Jon's ownership of animals. Fish bowl? No. Needs bigger tank with better supplies. Or any supplies. Cat access to fish? No. Prey animals should be kept safe from predators.

[garfless]

July 01, 1978: Soda pop. No. Popcorn, ehhnnn... Salt and butter can be an issue in excess, but popcorn itself does not appear to be a problem beyond choking hazards. Still, probably not a great idea.

[garfless]

June 29, 1978: Cats should not drink coffee. Caffeine is toxic to them.

[garfless]

June 28, 1978: Again, seasoning issues. Sausage likely contains ingredients which are not conducive to a cat's health.

[garfless]

June 27, 1978: Garf probably shouldn't be left unattended near tempting food which isn't meant for him. Especially if this ham is seasoned.

[garfless]

June 26, 1978: Cats do like to sit in high places! Jon should provide safe up/down routes for Garfield to these places, or block them off.

[garfless]

June 24, 1978: There seems to be some confusion about this so-called "catburger". I'm assuming it's probably a burger made for cats, rather than a burger made from cats. In this case, it's probably fine for Garf to eat, even better than a regular burger patty, especially a seasoned one.

[garfless]

June 22, 1978: Garfield probably shouldn't eat an entire steak in one bite. Especially if it has been seasoned, which it probably was since it was already served. Quickness of eating gets a pass for cartoon logic, but seasoning does not.

[garfless]

June 20, 1978:

Trying to decide whether or not this counts as "eating", but I'm going to say that Garf may already be exhibiting a tendency to eat non-food items. Garfield should not eat a rubber mousey.
