Cat Man Of West Oakland

Alright you Lasagna Heads, here’s Day 4 of the 2024 Garfield Gathering! I can’t express how silly and fun this was, and what a great community this group has built the last 30+ years. Mark your calendars now for June 2026, and get ready to make your way to Branson, Missouri for the next Gathering! I can’t wait to see everyone again >^. .^<

Late edition of #MondaysAreOK, recapping day 3 of the 2024 Garf Gathering where I win an unproduced sample Garf [No. 348] and a giant green flaming Garf [No. 350, thanks @mothergarfield!] to the collection, see even more of the *bonkers* collections people had in the rooms, and a little sneak peek at the haul I brought home… Plus a few shots of Gnarfield at the end for good measure, hope your Monday was OK >^. .^<

Playing catch up with a little late Day 2 Recap of The 2024 Garfield Gathering! See how lame my two boxes of plush looked compared to some of what we saw in the room hopping!!! IT WAS ABSOLUTELY BONKERS! Also I think I’m the Bat Man of Clarksville, IN? Watch to the end and decide for yourself >^. .^<

Quick lil Day One Recap of #GarfieldGathering 2024! What an awesome, sarcastic, and incredibly sweet community of Garf fans! They were the perfect people to spend Garfield’s B-Day with >^. .^<

Was trying to add some Melodica to a song, but Tommy REALLY wasn’t a fan 😹 Or maybe he wanted it to be the Meowlodica? Either way, getting bit by a cat is a new and interesting way to be critiqued while recording a part >^. .^<

Leapin’ Lasagna this week’s #MondaysAreOK is a doozy! Huge shout out to my buddy Mondo from @nesrelics559 for snagging this GIANT Garf Standee and being game to trade it to me!!! And big thanks to Michelle from @luckycatmuseum for sending in this lil solar powered Lucky Garf! Love the lil Garf community here I’ve found here, as always, I hope your Monday is OK! I’ll be back with some fresh plushies for the collection next week >^. .^<

Sneaking this week’s #MondaysAreOK in under the wire, cause it was a busy day! @garfieldmovie meet and greet in San Mateo, bribing children for the free swag they got [Garf No. 333], plus a pleasantly surprising alternate dimension @goldenboypizza and musical hangs with some buds! I hope your Monday was as OK as mine was!

Had a few mediocre Monday’s this month… but now I’m back to feeling like #MondaysAreOK, and adding Garf No. 322 & 323 to the collection! I’ll be back in the swing of things with more Garfs next week! As always, I hope your Monday is ok >^. .^<

Meoooowzers and welcome to another edition of #MondaysAreOK, this time from Bloomington, IN! Got to meet so many awesome folks in Muncie, saw all the Garfs on the #GarfieldTrail, and [surprisingly?] only found *ONE* vintage Garf there, and a very adult bootleg Garf in Bloomington! Check out who we’re adding to the collection, and take a speed run on the trail with me in today’s video! And as always, hope your Monday is OK >^. .^<

Full house at @orbit_room with the @iamlilbub crew for #CatManBUBingo last night >^. .^<

Adding a Dracula and… handcuffed baby Garfield for today’s edition of #MondaysAreOK, bringing the official Garf count up to 319! Also don’t forget we’ve got #CatManBingo at @twopitchersbeer_oakland @lovelys__oakland this Saturday 1/27! I’ll be set-up around 2:40 and balls will roll at 4:20! Hope the rest of your Monday is OK >^. .^<

Making some headway in reorganizing the Garf collection [THE GARF HOLIDAY TREE NOW SPINS!!!], adding an extra special jogger Garf for No. 317 [thanks so much Marge!!!], plus a silly Garf massager thanks to Brett @the.real.ninjacat, for this week’s #MondaysAreOK! This one kinda feels like it belongs on Kates new @garfieldfrommemoryfrommemory page! It’s filled with sweet Garf memories, go share yours with her if you have one >^. .^<

Meeeeoooowzers Lasagna Lovers and welcome to another edition of #MondaysAreOK! The tally is in and the duplicates are out, making the Grand Garf Total : 315! Soooo huge congrats to @agntskully for NAILING the GARF Guess with 315 last week! The lasagna is strong with you! Then yesterday I went to the @alamedaantiquesfaire and snagged GARF No. 316 thanks to some friends of @nesrelics559! Oh and mark your calendars for Caturday Jan. 27th, as we’re taking over the @twopitchersbeer_oakland @lovelys__oakland beer garden for some #CatManBingo! Hope your Monday was ok, see you next week >^. .^<

Welcome to the first edition of #MondaysAreOK in 2024! Leapin’ lasagna’s, those two boxes of plushies from last week were filled with some AMAZING Garfs, so many that it brought the collection up to 420!!! But… my initial collection count has included quite a few duplicates, so I spent today trying to photograph and catalog the whole dang Garf collection! Now my question to you is… how many unique plush Garfield’s do YOU think are currently in the collection?! First person to guess it right [or whoever is the closest] will win some fun vintage Garfs of their very own, a few of the GARF bootleg shirts I’ve made, and a copy of @hoodcats 2024! I’ll take guesses up to Sunday night, and will announce the winner in next week’s video! If you’d like to see the collection in more detail or just don’t see enough unhinged GARF Meme’s in your timeline, make sure and follow the @garfman420 page, I plan on sharing a bit more Garf nonsense over there. I hope your first Monday of the year was OK, see you next week >^. .^<

Greetings lasagna lovers and welcome to a semi-late edition of #MondaysAreOK! IG won’t let me share my full length 20 minute Garf unboxing video [do you really need to see that anyways!? lol], but I did want to give a huge shout out to @fern_black_cat for connecting me with her husband this past weekend, and gifting me their late Uncle Mike’s INCREDIBLE Garf collection! I’ll figure out a faster way to share what I added today, but for now I’m gunna give the boys some Meattubes, and going to bed! Hope your Monday was OK, and hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday >^. .^<

Had a lil camera malfunction during last weeks #MondaysAreOK shoot [shout out Marjorie and @the.real.ninjacat, I’ll re-do soon!], but I’m back this week with some fresh Garfmas plushies and decorations, bringing the GARF count to 387! Also stoked to share that I’ll be hosting the last #CatManBingo of the year on Caturday 12/30 at @heshers_pizza & @heshers_taproom! Balls will drop at 4:20, hope to see you there, and hope your Monday is OK >^. .^<

Added two extra awesome Garfs to the collection for this week’s #MondaysAreOK, thanks to my buddy @0mnis0und and his children who didn’t want them! Also stoked to have these new ridiculous bootleg-Gnarfield AMAB shirts and sweatshirts, plus a little HANGRY restock, and I finally got copies of @hoodcats 2024 in my hot little hands! Orders shipping out basically every other day until new years, so check out catman.bigcartel.com for all the most ridiculous cat stuff, and hope your Monday is OK >^. .^<

Took Gnarfield for a Caturday night trip to the Claw Spa… on camera… what could go wrong? >^. .^<

MEEEEOWZERS LASAGNA LOVERS AND WELCOME TO ANOTHER EDITION OF #MONDAYSAREOK! Today we get up to Garf No. 382, and get a Garf you can win *TONIGHT* during #CatManBingo at @heshers_pizza & @heshers_taproom! I’ll be set-up around 6PM and balls will roll around 7, so come hang out with us and have yourself the OKest Monday you could possibly have! >^. .^< P.S. I started a dedicated Garf page to share more of the collection and all the ridiculous Garf content I see, since I’m sure the majority of you *don’t* share the same love I have for unhinged Garf content… but if you do, go check out @garfman420!

Rain just started and I’m so glad to have this guy inside! I think Lint Ball is a little jealous >^. .^<
