[upbeat music]

[peaceful music]

[old lady] Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

It's your turn tonight.

No, I did it last night.

It's your turn tonight.

Look, you do it tonight,

and I'll do it all next week.

[Garfield] Do what? What's the argument about?

It's about which one of us is going to have to do the "cute kitty" routine.

I might as well get it over with.

[laughing]

You guys still doing that?

We have to or we don't eat.

It's so demeaning.

[military music]

Kitty cat, I have some nice cat food for you.

[mewing]

Oh, kitty cat. You are so adorable.

[purring]

Give me the food, lady.

[purring]

It's...

It's just undignified.

[groaning]

[laughing]

Here you go.

A nice, delicious helping

of Yummy Beef Delight in gravy.

Mmmm, yum!

[purring]

Now, you share that with all your little kitty friends.

Hey, little kitty friends!

Supper!

Be careful, guys.

Some of that's actually getting in your mouths.

"Yummy Beef Delight in gravy."

You know what that means?

These are the parts of the cow

that no one but a starving cat would ever eat.

You don't ever eat cat food, Garfield?

Not if I can help it.

And usually, I can help it.

Hey, I stopped eating cat food years ago because...

Well, it was a horrifying experience.

You want to hear about it?

Uh, no. Not really.

Not at all.

Great. I used to eat the stuff just like all of you.

[Jon] I'm coming, Liz!

Just as soon as I finish serving Garfield.

Not bad.

[Garfield narrating] I was enjoying my meal a lot.

Little did I suspect...

Jon, did you notice what you gave him?

This is a can of Odie's dog food.

Oh, that's kind of funny.

Hey, Garfield. You'll never guess what I did.

I accidentally served you Odie's dog food.

Sorry!

How about that?

Mmm, this is pretty good,

and it turns out to be dog food.

Well, I guess you never...

-[dramatic music] -Dog food!

[spitting]

Dog food! I ate dog food!

[gasping] Dog food...

[coughing painfully]

Oh, Jon! How could you do this to me?

[coughing]

But tasty!

Feeding Garfield dog food won't hurt him, right?

Of course not.

But you ought to pay more attention to his diet.

What you eat has a lot to do with who you are.

Putting the wrong food into a body can change it forever.

After all, you are what you eat.

I am what I eat?

But... I just ate dog food.

What?

You are what you eat. You are what you eat.

You are what you eat.

If that's true, how come I'm not lasagna?

Never mind that now.

I ate dog food.

What if it's true and it changes me into...

into...

one of these?

[screaming]

[muttering]

Odie, I ate dog food!

Do you understand what I'm telling you?

I ate dog food!

I don't want to turn into a dog.

[interrogative muttering]

[Garfield narrating] I told myself it couldn't possibly happen.

But then, I began to notice little strange things.

[snoring]

[dog sound]

[gasping]

Who barked?

Oh, I hope it wasn't me.

[moaning]

[Garfield narrating] Then it got worse.

Oh, no!

Doggy tongue!

[Garfield narrating] I found myself staying up all night,

howling pointlessly and foolishly at the moon.

[howling]

Odie!

Stop howling pointlessly and foolishly at the moon!

[muttering]

[Garfield narrating] And that's when I realized it was true.

Garfield the Cat was now...

Garfield the Dog!

Well, it was time to accept my new life.

[barking]

Hey, that's not bad.

Didn't think I could learn a foreign language, did you?

Okay.

Might as well go join my fellow dogs.

Here is a band of tough pooches

that used to always hang around one corner.

Hey, keep an eye out.

Those dog catchers,

they've been working this area lately.

[Garfield] Hi, guys!

What do you want to do today?

Chase cars? Look for fire hydrants?

What do you want, cat?

Cat? Where?

Oh, you mean me? No, I'm not a cat, I'm a dog.

Listen. [Garfield barking]

See? Not a cat.

Hey, maybe we could go chase cats!

I know where one named Nermal lives!

[Garfield barking]

Hey, this guy's crazy.

Yeah, let's go away from him.

Hey, wait guys!

Let's do doggy things, like fetch sticks

and roll over and play dead!

[barking]

[lazy barking]

[panicked barking]

Oh no! Dogcatchers!

And me without a dog license!

[dramatic music]

[barking]

[Garfield narrating] We fled,

but the dogcatchers were too fast for us.

[dramatic music]

After them, Pete!

[Pete] They won't get away from us!

[dramatic music]

[screeching] [gasping]

[desperate moaning]

[Garfield narrating] In no time, we were behind bars.

One Rottweiler.

One Rottweiler.

One Chihuahua with a bad attitude.

[Al] One Chihuahua with a bad attitude.

[growling]

[Pete] One mutt.

[Al] One mutt.

[Pete] And here's the last one.

One overweight pussycat.

One overweight pussycat.

One overweight pussycat?

Hey, Pete, we caught a cat.

No, no, no, I'm a dog.

D-O-G. Dog.

Oh. What do we do?

We're not supposed to catch cats.

You sure this is a cat?

No, I'm a dog! Look!

[barking]

[panting]

[begging]

[stage music]

Oh, at last, they realize I'm a dog.

Hey.

Because I'm a dog, I'm behind bars.

Maybe I didn't think this through properly.

Time to feed our new guests.

The city couldn't get any more dog food,

so they ordered cat food again.

I guess I must be a dog.

I'm stupider than I used to be.

Suppertime, guys.

We're feeding you cat food, but don't worry.

It's the same thing.

Cat food is the same as dog food?

Sure, we often get cat food.

Yeah, quite frankly I prefer it.

What did you think?

Eating cat food turns a dog into a cat?

[Garfield and dogs laughing]

Then I'm not a dog, I'm a cat!

Yes! A cat!

[meowing]

Thank goodness. A cat !

I don't want to be

a stupid mangy old dog. -[growling]

[Garfield] Dogs are disgusting.

Dogs are repulsive.

Dogs are my roommates.

Ha ha...

[mad growling]

[Garfield] No! Stop!

Don't hurt me! I'm a recovering dog!

-Stop! -[angry growling]

[Garfield narrating] It's truly amazing I ever got out of there.

And since that day, I've avoided dog food or cat food.

It's strictly people food for me.

Well, I can see my story had them riveted at attention.

Oh, looks like your kitty friends left.

Would you like some cat food?

Thanks but no thanks, lady.

I had an idea I have to go home and try.

[Jon] Mmm, this is delicious.

I've learned something, Odie.

It doesn't matter if a dog eats cat food or cat eats dog food.

[Odie muttering]

But if you sneak cat food onto a human's plate,

you can have a lot of fun.

[mewing]

I think I'm going to...

[mewing]

...go get seconds.

[purring]

[meowing]

[laughing]
