Plot[]
Early in the morning, Jon Arbuckle woken up by Garfield. Jon is initially confused until Garfield uses a calendar to reveal it is his birthday, sending Jon into a panic. For the occasion, Jon cooks him eight birthday lasagnas and films Garfield eating them, eventually leaving to add the footage to his "lasagna home video montage". After finishing, Garfield notices through counting the candles that Jon by mistake, cooked one less than required. After Jon himself recounts, he finds there to be no ingredients left in the house to make another, prompting him to go to the market. To pass the time, Garfield goes to sleep.
Meanwhile, a small, pot-shaped spaceship leaves their backyard and into the cosmos, returning to a space station resembling an oven, manned by living, anthropomorphic space lasagnas. The leader of the mission to invade Earth, General Gorgonzola, calls upon Ricotta to carry out a mission. Gorgonzola notes that while nothing can stop their invasion, the lasagnas have gathered footage of a creature, Garfield, holding lasagnas. The spy images do not show what happened to these lasagnas, leading Gorgonzola to order Ricotta to find out. Ricotta arrives on earth, and manages to sneak past Odie into the house where he finds Garfield.
Ricotta drops a ketchup bottle onto the pedal of trashcan, launching himself to further observe Garfield. However, he falls back down into the trashcan, waking Garfield. Though Ricotta attempts to remain motionless on a plate, Garfield finds him and assumes it's the last birthday lasagna. As Garfield's about to eat him, Ricotta speaks, catching Garfield off guard, and allowing out Ricotta to beat him up and exit the house. Odie returns from outside, and Garfield explains the event, but is unable to convince Odie. Despite this, Odie follows a scent to the bush hiding Ricotta's spaceship, and overhears Ricotta confirming to begin the invasion.
Odie returns to warn Garfield, and when both see a spaceship land in the yard, Garfield runs to hide in the garage. The lasagnas enter the kitchen and after they capture Odie, they begin to search for Garfield. During their search, they find the Jon's video compilation of Garfield eating lasagna, petrifying them all. Though still cautious, Garfield exits the garage, unties Odie, and decides to go confront the lasagnas in Jon's room. After Garfield appears before them, the lasagnas return to their spaceship in terror, and fly off. Despite Garfield's relief to see them gone, he himself is frightened off when Jon returns home and shows him the last birthday lasagna.
