Catch As Cats Can't is an episode from the seventh season of Garfield and Friends.
Synopsis[]
When a rival cat named Gunther kidnaps Ludlow and attempts to eat him, Garfield reluctantly comes to Ludlow's rescue.
Plot[]
One afternoon in Garfield's backyard, Garfield tries to catch a bird, but another cat named Gunther intervenes, causing both to crash as the bird escapes. Garfield claims all birds in his yard, leading to an argument where he throws Gunther into an apple tree.
Meanwhile, Ludlow and his father arrive. Ludlow's father warns him to avoid cats while searching for food. Garfield spots Ludlow, who recalls their previous fun encounter and suggests playing a game. Ludlow's father mistakenly thinks Garfield is eating Ludlow and attacks him. Ludlow and his father leave, leaving Garfield to recover.
Later, Ludlow lands in Gunther's yard while looking for food and is captured. Garfield, still recovering, sees this but initially doesn't care, knowing that Ludlow’s father will get involved in the situation eventually. Persuaded by the viewers, Garfield chases Gunther to save Ludlow. At the park, Garfield tricks Gunther into believing Ludlow is full of fats, convincing him to release Ludlow. Gunther realizes the trick and chases them, but Garfield escapes on a bus, leaving Gunther stranded in another city.
Garfield warns Ludlow to stay away from cats, but Ludlow points out Garfield is also a cat. Ludlow's father arrives, mistakenly thinks Garfield is trying to eat Ludlow, and attacks him again. Garfield clarifies his warning was for himself. Ludlow's father takes him away while Ludlow asks when he can play with Garfield next.
