Garfield Story 

I love that he chose you. It is a sign of your warmth and kindness. He knows that you're a loving person and that you love animals.

In the summer of 1980, my folks moved, along with their two cats, to Virginia Beach. Soon after moving in to their new place, this gorgeous long haired white female cat showed up at their door. The cat was very friendly. Mom asked the neighbors next door and found out she belonged to the 10 year old girl across the street. So Mom brought the cat back to the girl's mother, who thanked her. Everything seemed fine, until the cat showed up three days later. Mom returned her again. This happened several more times, until maybe the ten year old girl , or perhaps her parents, had obviously grown tired of their cat. Finally, the mother suggested to Mom "Why don't you just keep her?". So my folks did, and Mom named her 'Blanca'. Mom called her "my only daughter", as all her other children, and cats, were males. Blanca survived my Dad and the two male cats, and lived a long, happy life, keeping Mom company for 20 years.

Yeah, it looks like heaven. If I knew the way I might turn up on your doorstep too.

No one is a "cat owner", they choose their home and humans...

You are so blessed to be chosen by a cat.

Reinforces the old adage, cats pick us.

Am I the only one who thinks we need, crave, more Honeysada videos? I honestly believe they are good for our souls and mental health to see such beauty, especially in these troubling times. Just a hint, Honey. We miss you and that beautiful love you give to nature and all the critters. Your videos brighten our lives more than you know.

That's because Garfield knew he'd spotted the real deal

We don’t adopt cats, they adopt us. We like to think we choose them, but truth be told, cats and many other animals choose where they want to be. Garfield is a marvelous lesson to follow your heart and live your dreams. Joyous weekend to you😸😺

Who can blame him, I'd want to live there too, Lol.

Ginger and ginger & white cats are usually the friendliest cats you can meet. I used to work with cats and have known many but all cats are divine. Then there are those like Nanny who seem like a person in a feline body.

Oranges are special. When I die I'm coming back as one of your cats

I'd try and move in, too - you have created an Eden it seems where everyone including the non human animals are treated with kindness, care, respect and love - who doesn;t want to live in a heaven like that!? :)

Cats choose you.

Garfield was no dummy following you home. Now he's got it made. Lucky Cat!

I love this story and it is much like our own cat story! He came into our home numerous times but belonged to a neighbor across the way from us. After a couple of years of back and forth his owner made the biggest gesture of letting us keep him - he is now happily ours and where he chose to be!

I think you are an animal whisperer...all of your pets are friendly, calm, inviting and completely at home

Sweet cat with a strong will to feel happy.

I can't get enough of 'honeysada' and his beloved animals and their escapades. Their sanctuary couldn't be more ideal and happily situated. A note for anyone that doesn't know; a cat's tail strait up in the air means total security and contentment.-Google.

People need to realize..... It’s Not the Family Who “Picks The Cat”, It’s The Cat WHO PICKS THE FAMILY.

Home is where the heart is.

Handsome, handsome lad. I think he has a stealth crush on Nanny. Happy Trails Mr. Traveler!

this is a really independant and bold cat. finding his own paradise and walk a very long distance. what a nice journey.

Scotch's family are probably good people. They took great care of him, did all they could. But cats have their own way of looking at the world, their own set of needs. Some cats would think that the family was heaven. But Scotch need a farm, other animals, a sense of purpose. He has all that as Garfield. Garfield is a Orangecicle cat; orange popcicle on the outside, vanilla ice cream on the inside.

What a handsome gent Garfield is! I'm partial to ginger kitties. As they say, you don't pick cats, they pick you. Every one of ours has pretty much just shown up at our place, out of nowhere, and stayed. We live way out in the country, like you do, so we have no idea where they come from, but we're delighted to have them.

Great story,I don't blame Garfield if I was a kitty I would want to live there too...he knew you were a good man and he'd be safe....

Cat know where the good people are and how to find them.

"He sought out, and found, his version of heaven." So true. He recognized the good vibes, there.

Cats know a kind soul when they find one. I’ve always thought that if cats are attracted to you then you must be a good person. It really goes for all animals, they just have a way of knowing these things.

I think you’re such a wonderful person. You have so much love and care for animals. The world is better place for having you 😊❤️

You have been chosen.

It is very special when a cat *CHOOSES YOU* ... they bring with them *good luck* . Glad you finally quit taking him back. ;-)

What a wonderful story, who wouldn't want to live there. He is one lucky cat with 9 lives and knows love when he sees it. Animals are not dumb!

All my cats I’ve ever had just showed up one day. I think our house is marked. I believe too that they choose us.

The way Garfield looks at you😍😍😍

Awww if you look closely , while Garfield is on his shoulders, he's doing " the happy dance " with his paws 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 He's gently kneading his paws on his Dad to show how happy he is to be there 🥰

I take breaks in the middle of the day just to enjoy your ambience, calming spirit, and adorable, smart cats. Flowers and pets are God's Clues.

You have my cat Ho'neus! What are you doing with Ho'neus - how can she be there with you when she's here in my caravan with me! Oh it is SO lovely to hear from Honeysada again. And darling Nanny looks WELL. Life and the Blessings of Life be upon all of you! Blessings! Blessings!

It's a great honor to be chosen by a cat. 🐾🧡🐾

May the positive energy that surrounds you continue to be an inspiration.

When a cat chose you, that means you are incredible person

Garfield risked his life just to live with you guys. You are very kind hearted. ❤️

Yes please don't send him away again. If his previous owners want him back badly enough maybe they'll come and get him. But Garfield seems to have made his choice clear.

It's easy to see why Garfield wants to live with you, your animals have hit the jackpot! You have a lovely nature and the animals sense that.

Nanny liked him too! How sweet.

I'd have to agree with Garfield that you and your place are a little slice of Heaven. A better Guardian Angel there never was.

I’ve always found ginger cats to be gentle and affectionate. Garfield already looks at home. I hope this video inspires people to give a homeless cat a home. ❤️😻🐾🐈🙏🏻🏠😎

A person never chooses a cat, the cat chooses his staff.

It's obvious he was looking for a family and he found the perfect one. Cats have flair at choosing hoomans😂😂Garfield is so handsome and smart💝🐱🐈😺💝

I've always found that if you let the animal choose you and not the other way around, it makes for the best of all possible relationships. A cat chose me at a friend's garden party ... the cat was amazing. There were about 100 people packed into that garden plus a dj with very loud music, big buffet with only the best on offer and this cat decided she was the guest of honor and therefore allowed to parade around at will. She deigned to partake of some smoked salmon from my plate, approved highly of some small shrimps and decided I would do. And that was that. She was a stray. Our friends discovered her one morning in the garden showing interest in the garbage can and she moved right in, however, these friends were great travelers and were soon off on another long voyage which meant nobody would feed the cat so I stepped in, most eagerly, and brought Sweetie home. At my friends' home she was relegated to the garden and a back terrace but not allowed into the bedrooms, in my home, once out of her carrier, she headed instinctively to the back and the bedrooms, jumping onto our bed and looking at me defiantly. I petted her to reassure her it was perfectly normal and we never regretted it. Neither I and my family nor she.

Cats are so boss; so independent. They do not like their lives dictated by some lesser creature, i.e. humans or dogs. If you let them be themselves, they will love you forever. You obviously gave him the environment he wanted, both physically and emotionally. He's a real sweetheart and you are lucky he chose you.

To be chosen by a cat is an extreme honour and blessing!!

A person doesn't choose a cat... the cat chooses the person... and he sees something in you that he really likes...

Thank you for sharing Garfield's story, a beautiful cat who chose your home for himself.

Garfield just felt the love and comfort and safety of living with you and your family. Cats are very resourceful and also extremely aware of their surroundings so he chose you. Lucky you! Love this story and all of your videos. Thanks for all you do.

As the saying goes "cats choose their owners!" We got our cat in almost the exact same way! He had a family but kept leaving them and coming to us. Time and again we'd return him and he'd come back. Finally his original owners gave him to us "officially" together with a photo album containing pictures from his kitten days. The inscription written inside of the picture album read "In honor of Tequila's preferred guardians" and brought tears to our eyes. A truly selfless gesture by our beloved kitty's original owners. It couldn't have been easy to give him up. We can onlg hope that any difficulty giving him to us was tempered by the sure knowledge that my husband and I truly cherish this cat and make excellent caregivers to him!

He knows a good home when he sees it .

That is the best family he could have ever joined. If I were a kitty or puppy, that's exactly where I would want to live.

He knows you have a good spirit, that's why he wasn't scared

As they say, cats choose who they want to be with, and he chose you! He is precious, just like all of your animals!

I am going to follow Garfield's footsteps and come live on your farm! 😁 it's looks like heaven.

Garfield obviously had good taste:) One of my cats Spook used to go visit all our neighbours but always came back to sleep at "home"...I think he would just check to see what was on the menu and collect a few friendly pats & share some lovin.

I think there's a reason why he kept coming back. Something about that other place has something he does not like, and it shows after he kept coming back over and over.

This is an incredible story. Garfield is a beautiful cat. I can see why he kept returning to live with you and your large family of other cats and dogs. It is heaven for him.

Please do more of these

Oh how gorgeous he is a big ginger boy strong and handsome he goes through all that danger and kilometres to get back to Nannys house n he lives outside but he can come in any time .Garfield you are so brave. Have your happy life at Nannys house 💜

beautiful story...animals are so amazing!!

He knew where his heaven was.

I am so glad that I discovered your videos;when everything seems to be going badly, it’s one of the things that bring joy!

Fun Fact: Orange cats were spread across the world by the Vikings.

Garfield: "I love this interview about me. Keep talking."

I love Garfield 😊

I can certainly understand why Garfield wants to live on your farm. Thanks for telling his story.

What a darling boy! We had a similar looking kitty that climbed in through our bedroom window one memorable Saturday morning and took up residence with us.... the rest is history! Warm greetings from South Africa 🐾🇿🇦

My Beautiful Peteybird Was Layed To Rest Today. I Found Him On The Street 13 Yrs Ago. It's Better To Have Loved And Lost Than To Never Have Loved At All. We Shared So Much Joy.

Your property looks like my idea of heaven, can you please adopt me too? I promise to get along with everybody.

Garfield even got to sit in Nanny's car?? That's a pretty high honor for anyone! I'm glad everyone is getting along and playing together nicely. Thanks for sharing the gang with all of us. Happy New Year to you all!

Garfield is a very lucky kitty! Smart, too! What’s one more, right?! I’m so glad there are people like you in this world!

Perhaps, the menu wasn't to Garfield's liking at his original home - or, maybe he had to deal with small children pestering him? Who knows... At Your place, he's got a whole crew of interesting and loving characters to hang out with - and he definitely picked You because, he sensed that You've got a heart of pure gold... With all the different kinds of big predators around - he's obviously one very determined kitty that knows what he wants... and, at Your place, he absolutely found a true slice of (kitty...) Heaven...🐈 💙💛🌹💜🍎🇺🇸

Sometimes they choose you. And there’s just nothing to be done but love them and let them in. Many animals over the years have chosen me, followed me home, jumped in my car, or showed up on my door step. I see it as a gift, not a burden, and any animal that chooses to be part of my life is part of my life as long as they want to be. Good of that other family to realize he made his own choice and the dangers he risked to get back each time was not worth trying to make him stay somewhere when he wanted to be somewhere else. He loves you. He chose you. End of story❤️BTW living life surrounded by all those wonderful animal family members is MY idea of paradise, so I can’t blame Mr. Garfield Scotch🤣

Garfield knew he was home with you. Precious cat. ❤️

Thanks for sharing his story with us. Long live Garfield

I was really impressed that Garfield sat on your shoulder! Cats only do that when they really like and trust a person.

Exactly how we got our boy! We live in a huge apartment complex by the beach with many buildings. After about 3-4 years of him escaping from and being returned to the building he lived in 2 buildings away, his original owners decided to honor his choice in guardians. We are honored to have him...

Why can't more amazing men like you exist?

the cat heard about you and your kind heart from the local deers. how could he not want to get to know you. 😎

Garfield is truly a special cat 🐈 who may like to be in the company of your animals. It’s evident he likes you as well. I hope 🤞 all of you have a long time together. 😊

Dang it. I love your channel. That made me cry tho. Thats how I ended up with Tom the American Bobtail cat. His owner was a dog breeder, kept him in a dark garage, hoping to make money off kittens from Tom. The owners son was in head on collision so he let Tom out of garage since he had to stay at hospital. Tom had no one. A thunder storm came up and I heard a high pitch sad meowing crying in my garage. I opened door and he came in house soaking wet and loving on me plus my daughter. He took over the house as if to say, "OK Ladies....name is Tom... I'm hungry, tired, wet and I don't eat ketchup...here's some love...now get me food". Eventually, Tom was given to me as a gift because he wouldn't stay with owners. He always came home to me or even scratched on door for me to let him in. Hahaha : )

Garfield is a lot skinnier that I remember! 😅

I relly love how u Live with the animals, perfect example how the ppl must to share the Life with them.

Word got out, cat heaven on earth was just over the hills at your home. 😃💕👍

Animals can sometimes tell where they really belong. From your videos, all your animals know they’re right where they belong. 💐💕

We hope to see lots of videos of Garfield and Nanny. Garfield is Beautiful and sweet just like Nanny. Please keep the videos coming. Thank you for sharing.

Garfield definitely knew what he wanted n his sheer determination paid off. He is one very clever ginger cat, & thank YOU for letting him make his haven with you and your loving animals!

Garfield is so beautiful. Animals are smart and can sense kindness and innocence in people and Animals . He chose you and your Family and was determined to be part of your Family . I'm so glad he is with you. That was nice of Nanny to let Garfield lay in her car 🙂 The name "Scotch " is cute , but I like the name "Garfield " better and it suits his cute personality 🥰 The way Garfield lays on your shoulder is soooooo sweet ! 🧡🤍 I know all the Animals love your accent ( Lithuania?🇱🇹 )and calm voice It's very soothing

He knew you were the one, on your lovely homestead.

I wish I could still be living on a farm. I grew up in NH. an ME. I had a wonderful kitty that I found abandoned on the road one day walking home from school early 1964. I called my new baby fluffernut cause every time he got all excited his fur stood up like a big fluff ball. He loved to bring us dead mice and dump them on the kitchen table every morning. And considering that me and my father where up at 4:45 everyday to start the chores. Ho well I had to clean up his proud mess. If mom found it she would not be happy so to speak. I miss it very much but I’m old and living on disability these days. I might only have one rescue cat these days to care for and that is fine. Well if Nanny want to come here for a visit I’d love to see her.

Oh honeysada praying for your heart to be healed from the loss of your precious nanny … god bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

Cats will do that sometimes (choose their homes, I mean). My dad had a tom that went out one day and came back with a Barbie bracelet in place of his flea collar. Few weeks later cat decided to stay with the little girls down the street, and lived with them for the next five years or so my Dad was in the neighborhood. :P

I think I would choose to live there too. It is so beautiful and well maintained. Smart cat. Sorry to the family of Scotch, but he chooses the family that calls him Garfield. Easy decision to make...imho. I am so relieved to see another video from you. I was afraid you had gone on to other things. You are so talented at making these videos, it is something I hope you continue to do, I for one would sorely miss you and Nanny and all the rest of your tribe. Thank you for adding another fur baby to your tribe. He is quite lovely. Thank you also for sharing your beautiful life with us. I missed you!! So glad to see you again. Be well, be happy.
