You're kidding, right? There's actually a giant cat named Garfield? Does he live with a dog named Odie and an owner named Jon? Does he really hate Mondays but really like lasagna? Has he not been funny in about 20 years?

No, but Garfield is one of the biggest cats around, weighing in around forty pounds, which is approximately eight properly-made lasagnas. He was taken in by an animal shelter after his owner passed away. He was having some trouble finding a new home, as he was roughly the size of a barge, and the shelter was determined he not stay that way. Thankfully, they found an owner who would keep him on a strict diet, which we're pretty sure isn't just lasagna? But not entirely positive.

As with many cats who are about the size of everything in your fridge poured into a bucket, he's having health issues and doesn't move around a lot and wait ... Is that why cartoon Garfield is so "lazy?" Is he really just sick? Oh god, that makes those comics super-dark. Does that make Mondays a metaphor for unavoidable approaching death then?

See, twisted revelations like this are why we need as many cute cat videos as possible. You're welcome.
