Episode recap

Jon takes Garfield on vacation to the Polecat Flats dude ranch, where Jon learns how to live like a ranch hand. While Garfield tries to figure out what “polecat” means (a question he will ask throughout the course of the episode), Jon tries to meet country women, but is thwarted when the ranch foreman (Cactus Jake) has him do odd jobs that turn out to be humiliating.

Notes

*Cactus Jake makes his first appearance in this episode.
*Odie appears at the title card, but not in the episode.
*The rooster that wakes the people up at Polecat Flats looks like Roy.
*Jon has spurs on his bunny slippers.

Goofs

* The horse that Jon rides is brown, not black like Cactus Jake's horse. However, with only whitewash, Garfield is able to make Jon's horse look like Cactus Jake's horse and can trick Cactus Jake with it. (Must have been a can of black paint laying around somewhere.)
* When Garfield is walking, the sound of spurs are heard, but he isn't wearing any spurs or even cowboy boots.
