"*I've had enough, Jon... You can run but you can't hide, Jon...*"
—Garfield's sanity slipping while he kills Dorian Shafer[src]

**Garfield Cat** (or simply **Garfield**) is the best chef known in *Meme House* and the third member of the Bogan Household.

Garfield was originally intended to be the straight man of the Bogan Household, referred to as "the only normal one" in the house compared to the more chaotic Bulk Bogan and Dio Brando. This was eventually disproven, as Garfield has been shown not to be above violence and murder himself, as seen when he kicked Johnny Zest in the balls in front of his alleged son, or when he murdered someone just for pissing on his front door. This role of the straight man was later more appropriately given to Funky Kong.

He is known to transform into his alter-ego, **Jon Arbuckle** whenever he takes a shower or goes to work. The latter is no longer the case as of Part 15, but Garfield still turns into Jon when he has a shower.

This "Jon Arbuckle" may or may not actually be Barney Calhoun.

## History

### Season 1

#### Part 1

Garfield is created along with Bulk Bogan and Dio Brando and the trio move into a house in Oasis Springs. Out of the three, Garfield is the first out of the three to find a job, getting hired in the culinary profession. Despite this, Garfield initially appeared as a very inept cook, almost burning the house down on his first attempt to cook food.

Later on, he breaks into Enyaba Ordonez's house very early morning. He attempts to bake a cake in her house several times, before promptly being kicked out. While he's leaving, he spots Dorian Shafer, who is believed to be another Liquid Bogan, someone who Bulk had killed earlier. He suddenly snaps and murders Dorian by choking him out on the streets, while referring to him as Jon Arbuckle for some reason, and then promptly returns home.

As he's home, Garfield's skinsuit, soon to be named Jon Arbuckle, is revealed as he is taking a shower. After his shower, he appears to slowly have gotten better at cooking, as he successfully makes a piece of grilled cheese for himself.

As nighttime arrives, Garfield spots a ghost and quickly shoots it through the head. He is then arrested.

#### Part 2

Garfield is still in jail as this episode begins, though he's not locked up for long.

Later on, using the weed obtained by Dio, he cooks up his roommates a weedza. He quickly leaves for work after cooking it up, never actually eating any of the weedza himself this episode.

#### Part 3

First thing into the episode, Garfield is seen eating some of the now spoiled weedza.

To progress in his career, he can be seen breaking into the household of two vampire siblings residing in Forgotten Hollow. He does not even attempt to talk to them, only using their bar and then promptly leaving.

A while later, once he's home, Wario and he seem to get along great, even developing a romantic relationship with each other. Garfield attempts to ask him to be his boyfriend, but Wario ends up leaving before he is able to do so. Through this exchange, a notable occurrence is that Garfield is the first character in the series to kiss someone else.

#### Part 4

In this episode, Garfield slowly starts moving away from his position as the 'straight man' in the Bogan household. This is clearly shown as he vomits in defense as one of the vampires he invaded the house of knocks on the door, and when he makes Trash Pancakes and decides to drop them off to the Kong Household as a welcoming gift. However, he seems to have a pretty sudden change of plans and decides to snort leftover coke from Dio's adventure to the same household earlier. He then eats the pancakes, ruining the concept of them being a welcoming gift for the Kongs.

Garfield becomes instantly high due to this being the first time he's snorted coke and decides to use the Kong household's kitchen to make another serving of trash pancakes. He manages to finish but is kicked out by Funky Kong before he can manage to eat any of them himself. Funky is seen keeping the pancakes.

After this, he decides to visit Johnny Zest. Unsatisfied with losing his trash pancakes, he decides to make some at Johnny's house instead. He's kicked out before he can successfully cook them, however, and while he's outside he spots a child out in the middle of the streets. Still retaining some responsibility, he calls 911 to inform the child's lost parents. Immediately seeming to lose that sense of responsibility though, he kicks Johnny in the crotch, and immediately leaves the house.

Later, he can be seen destroying Dio's Minecraft house, though he is caught and is mostly unsuccessful in doing so. After this, his next action is visiting Enyaba Ordonez to acquire weed, something to make him inspired and bake a chocolate cake.

At the gym, Bogan supposedly sees Garfield busy working out, despite appearing to be at work. This greatly confuses him, and he arrives home to see Garfield currently at home.

To progress his career further, Garfield visits the park present in Oasis Springs. He brings Dio along, and both seem unbothered by the sight of Fire Lady burning alive in front of them.

#### Part 5

He visits Kira Yoshikage's house via the welcome wagon. Kira seems to like him, and the two start a brief, but positive friendly relationship.

When Enyaba is blown up, he and anyone else who happens to around end up mourning the loss of the neighborhood drug dealer.

#### Part 7

When Madeline Bynum and Edgar Kohler both arrive to visit the Bogans, Garfield attempts to mend his relationship with Edgar, but it doesn't seem to be mended. Suddenly, Madeline suddenly stabs Bogan to death, much to Garfield's horror. Upon seeing Edgar clap and cheer over Bogan's death, Garfield, completely heartbroken and furious over his betrayal, gets out a knife and stabs Edgar's guts in rage, killing him.

Later on, once Kira Yoshikage rewinds time, bringing Bogan back from the dead, Garfield joins his roommates in searching for Edgar (who was also brought back due to Bites the Dust) and Madeline. After Edgar is killed again, the Bogans notice the Liquid Household, prompting the boys to investigate. Garfield meets his doppleganger, Liquid Garfield, and quickly dispatches of him with a bullet to the head.

Eventually, the Bogans find Madeline outside the gym, and Garfield and Dio allow Bogan to kill Madeline as revenge for killing him, by stabbing her in the chest. Upon Madeline's death, the Bogans celebrate by Fortnite Dancing on her corpse.

#### Part 12

Honing his terrible cooking skills from Part 1, he attempts to cook up macaroni and cheese and sets fire to the Kong Household while doing so. This ends up burning down their entire house.

### Season 2

#### Part 20

Garfield accompanies Bulk to WacDonald's. Him and Bulk then quickly decide to visit the Krusty Krab instead, after seeing a murder committed in broad daylight by Shaggy Rogers. As they are there, The Mafia arrives, and Big Papanya ends up bullying Garfield, making him feel depressed. In an act of revenge, Bulk shoots Big Papanya. Seen as an accomplice to Bulk, Garfield and he make a run for home.

Garfield, now home, seems to have learned to canalize a pyromaniac power that allows him to be able to set a fire anywhere. He attempts to set Dantette on fire this way and accidentally sets his own self on fire in the process. He's quickly extinguished by Funky Kong.

## Powers

* **Extremely high charisma:** Garfield has been able to convince the Grim Reaper to spare the lives of many people throughout the series, sometimes even being able to force him into doing it.
* **Mac and cheese burning:** While less of a skill and more of a flaw, Garfield has the inexplicable ability to fuck up at cooking mac and cheese so bad, a fire starts in the surrounding area. This is first seen during the infamous Mac and Cheese Incident, and is seen once more during the Destruction of the Kong Household.
