It works within the logic of the show.

No, it doesn't. A lot of things don't.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

They have a pretty logical explanation for it in the tv cartoon Garfield and friends
Monday Misery

So.. He hates Mondays because bad shit just randomly happens to him?

Just because he wasn't throwing up all over doesn't mean he didn't get stomach aches from it. Which is almost assuredly the case.

I am an awe of your ability to discern so much more from a cat's contented silence than we can.

Most of us have probably given our cats a bit of milk and never noticed a problem. That’s because some cats tolerate milk just fine, Wynn tells WebMD.

There. There's you two's 'five minutes of research', on the first page of the first result in Google for 'cats' and 'dairy'.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

That's the joke.

How'd tht tree eat Charlie browns kite?

I think you're blowing this out of proportion a wee bit. We gave our cat dairy for fifteen years and he was fine. He liked the occasional bit of cheese and a little dish of milk a couple times a week. He grew up hard as a motherfucker.

My uncle smoked between 20 and 30 cigarettes a day for 35 years and is still alive. Doesn't mean everyone can do the same.

What the hell happened to Lyman?

You know, Jon's roommate and Odie's original owner?

Garfield likes tv, maybe he gets pissed at the return of daytime soaps.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Garfield liking lasagna doesn't make any sense. He's a cat and that shit would likely kill him.

Cartoons man, how do they work?

And first post nails it again. Garfield never made any sense. That's the beauty of garfield. Without a doubt he's one of my favorites comic strip wise. Him and Peanuts. All other comic strips can be ignored easily.

Cats can't eat dairy. It is why you aren't allowed to feed cats milk. Makes them extremely sick.

What, no. They're lactose intolerant.

 

[CaptainRizla]

I think it's most likely, from what I've learnt in this thread, is that it's likely Jon feed Garfield milk and cheese on a Monday.

edit - and today it appears I can't structure a sentence correctly.

 

[Rad-]

It's a myth that every cat is lactose intolerant. Many are but not all. Also kittens can eat dairy just fine usually.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

There's a reason for that--prolly the same reason most human babies can consume lactose while their adult counterparts can not.

 

[kr2t0s]

Why do you guys keep feeding this troll? Just look at all of the threads he has started.

 

[dbztrk]

Crucify the OP GAF!!!!! Kill it with fire!!!!!!

 

[chogidogs]

Garfield's job is being an asshole. Shit is hard work.

 

[Zoe]

Cheese and Onions so far in this thread. We are a few ingredients away from actually feeding it pizza. Goddamn.

Garlic too.

American Dad: Roger complains about Garfield hating Mondays.

Cats can't have milk? Man, was I doing it wrong...

What the fuck i feed my cats onions all the time

You mean your onion is a cat?

Maybe Jon turned him into lasagna.

And it was on a Monday.

We dont give our cats a lot of dairy, but one of them is always waiting for me to finish a bowl of cereal so he can drink whatever little bit of milk is left. Never once been sick from it.

 

[JediMasterMatt]

Came into this thread hoping to find Garfield minus Garfield cartoons... left disapointed.

 

[SnakeSlashRO]

Garfield is a representation of our inner sloth and glutton. Although he's disgusting at times he just wants to be loved, like us.

Thread should have ended with this post. Isn't it obvious?

Everyday is shit for diabetic cats.

Actually Garfield being a Cat is what doesn't make sense and well...I got this from garfield.com so it has to be truth:

Character Profile:
People relate to Garfield because Garfield IS them. "He's a human in a cat suit," as creator Jim Davis likes to say. Garfield loves TV and hates Mondays. He'd rather pig out than work out; in fact, his passion for food and sleep is matched only by his aversion to diet and exercise (he prefers lay-downs to sit-ups). He'd like mornings better if they started later. Coffee "strong enough to sit up and bark" is the only way to start the day. What could be more human?

Fat, Lazy, and Lovable...Garfield says and does the things that people would like to say and do -- if only they could. "We're made to feel guilty for overeating and sleeping, but Garfield defends our right to grab a jelly donut and take a long afternoon nap," says Davis. "Somehow, Garfield relieves our guilt and we love him for it."

I'm a human adult, lactose and me are coo'. Then again I remember reading that scandinavians in general have a higher tolerance of lactose.

 

[Kinyou]

He never spoke. He thinks.

And he tweets

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Somebody needs to start another series of Garfield strips where they replace Garfield with Andrew Garfield and replace Jon with AG's agent.

Love the response.

That's cuz we Scandinavians are Dairy Master Race ;p

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Sounds like somebody has a case of the Mondays.

I'm gonna go eat some sour milk right away.

I don't have cats, but I did not know this. Weird though, because I remember it being a common thing growing up for people to put out a bowl of milk for stray cats that would show up at their doorsteps. Even kids knew about that tradition. Maybe the point was to kill stray cats, and not as an act of kindness? Mind blown!

Yeah, it is a common misconception.

Kittens are allowed to drink goat milk, though.

 

[ZackieChan]

Why the hell are you people feeding your pets human food? They make cat food for a reason!

 

[akira28]

Feed. All. Cats. Milk.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Sour milk is good shit. Personally I don't drink milk anymore, but when I do it's usually skimmed milk.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Feed. All. Cats. Pizza.

This is Gaf. Get with it.

 

[Phoenix]

That's true but it's not some instant death blow, a little bit of cheese or milk here and there does no damage, just not on a regular basis.

Its like dogs with chocolate. It won't kill them outright, but if they get enough of it - it definitely can.

 

[Ty4on]

Pretty sure I read somewhere that all adult humans used to be intolerant of lactose. It is awesome to be tolerant scandinavian, especially when I have a cold and just want some warm milk.

 

[Loofy]

wtf if cats cant drink milk then how come we always see them drinking milk in cartoons and movies?

 

[Amory]

Garfield has to hate mondays. If he didn't, my coworkers wouldn't have all those hilarious comics tacked up in their cubicles.
