Back in 2015 a young orange cat started showing up in my yard who had been abandoned by a neighbor. Whenever I went outside he was there and wouldn't leave me alone. I built an outside shelter for him as the cold weather rolled in and he started using it, and I fed him everyday. Finally, when the temperatures dropped to dangerously cold I brought him inside with me and he never left. I have him leashed trained now to keep him safe in a very dangerous neighborhood and so Garfield and I are together 24/7; he has become the absolute best friend I ever had. As I am typing this my cat is standing by the keyboard while telling me it's time to go for our daily walk. Yes, cats do choose their owners and there is no point in trying to resist them so just go with the gift of their company and they will make you so very happy.

Squirt's story: Back in 2008, a young orange cat started showing up in my yard. We live in an area that had several pets dropped off during the economic crash of 2008-2009. We called him Captain Underpants at first because his orange and white colors looked like he was wearing tighty whities. We tried to adopt him, but he wouldn't let us catch him. He went through a brutally cold Michigan winter with food everyday from my wife and a shelter from me. He wouldn't come inside though. Somehow, he made it through the winter. During the spring and summer of 2009 he would jump the fence and come sit on our laps while we were sitting around the pool. The more people, the more likely it was that he would come visit. We started calling him Squirt because he would squirt 'mark' all over our pool area and drive our other cat's nuts. We finally caught (trapped) him in August of 2009 and nearly killed him by trying to get him healthy and fixed. After 8 weeks of him near death because of parasites, he finally got healthy. Once he got inside and got healthy he became the most loving cat you could imagine. He's still with us today at a guestimated age of 16-17.

I was not a cat person. I never wanted to have cats, or understood them. I was actually afraid of them...Until 2 years ago my husband and kids wanted cats. We went to the rescue for one cat and brought 2 sisters. I fell in LOVE sooooooooo much!! I never knew how fun and loving was to have cats. A year later we ended up rescuing another cat from the streets. He always comes to my lap... I love cats and I can't see myself without a cat ever...Even my huge 80lb dog loved the cats..

People who think they don't like cats have never had one. I had an elderly neighbor years ago who found out I had 3 cats, and she told me "Oh, I don't like cats," with her face all pinched. After a few months, I would hafta go looking for my cat Peaches at _their_ house, because she would go over to visit, and they'd let her inside. "We just love Peach," she told me. Poor woman spent most of her life not knowing how lovely cats are, and sweet Peaches won her over!

Elio looks definitely like a rare Flame Point Siamese! They are very friendly cats and so smart. My daughter also found one, and Percy is a little over a year old now. The older he got, the tell tale markings appeared: Siamese blue eyes, orange ears, face, and tabby legs and tail. Beautiful cats!

He looks like he could be a Siamese flare point. But he's so adorable and adopting two animals that were just roaming the streets is amazing. They now have good homes. Thank you for being a good person 😏❤️🐕🐕🥀🥀😺😺

He looks pure too. Because of the ginger coloration being 75-80% male they are difficult to breed, which makes them rare. I was overjoyed to adopt my kitten who was deemed not up to breed standards--even rarer to find a female, but she is perfect to me.

Honestly, these videos are cute, but The Dodo is pretty harmful. They cite Peta commonly as experts in the field, they encourage human-wildlife interactions (and if they aren't trying to do that, they are failing by not disclaiming the dangers of such interactions), and they constantly anthropomorphise animals to such an extent that taking their example could lead to dangerous situations.

@pattym9182

Жыл бұрын

The Dodo never disappoints us with their content.... Unfortunately the comments DO continue to disappoint me, though. *No, I don't like some of their videos either (the biggest example being the one with the girl having tea parties with that giant Python), especially when the dangers are downplayed and ANY suggestion of cute/innocence is exploited. Some of them remind me of the way South Park portrayed PETA - people who love animals SO much that they actually are IN love with them, marry them, AND start "families" with them - deformed, inter-species children and all! But considering this isn't some new trend for the Dodo or really any international "rescue" organizations that post similarly-styled videos, I can't say the videos are "disappointing" as if I wasn't expecting them or anything... I just know not to watch them! I literally subscribe for the cats, that's it. Dog stories are usually enjoyable too, but I've been partial to cats for like my whole 30 years of life.

They probably both kept each other company before running into them, glad the pupper also got a home.

Flame point siamese. They are the absolute best cats. Very intelligent, very social and playful, and very affectionate. My buddy loved to wrestle, and would roll at the drop of a hat. But when it came to friend's kids, he was utterly gentle and just a big soft teddy bear. I miss him every day, treasure this guy.

What a distinguished little super villain

Do ya think they was just hanging out on the street together? Such a cool kitty and puppy. So glad they both got homes now. Thank you for your story. Thank you for taking in those two cute furry thangs. Ya'll was just what they needed and they were just what ya'll needed too. Later.😊😊🐈🐕❤❤

She calls him, you're a dirty little baby in the sweetest voice ever possible. What an adorable woman!

They are all beautiful and gorgeous animals.

😻 My male flame point siamese found me 16 years ago and he is just the best. Those blue eyes get me everytime.

This kitty and the rescuer were perfect for each other! Its an honour to give a vulnerable animal a safe, loving home!

Lucky puppy and kitten. Elio is so beautiful and mischievous! Love it!

That reaching out thing at the end was amazingly cute

Bless you and Sam for rescuing these precious animals 💜🙏💗

So glad both Taco and Elio got amazing moms

I'm so happy she rescued both. I have an affinity of love for flame point Siamese. I rescued a litter of them & their ginger momma. Found homes for all but the mom & 2 kittens. Talkie (short hair just like Elio) & Flurry was a super fluff. Unfortunately I lost all 3 when I hired a pet sitting service because I was going out of town to take care of a friend. I miss them. Funny personalities, loved watching movies with me, & of course super talkative. Seeing her w/Elio reminded me of the great adventures we had & Bless her for rescuing these 2. 💖😻

"A cat chooses you." I couldn't say it better. Wonderful family.

He is so affectionate and precious

Melt melt. No wonder you couldn't resist him. Pure delight.

Thank you all for helping these fur lives have loving homes.

He's too darn adorable! I love his cross-eyes Glad she rescued him. 😍😘

Thank you for saving these 2 cuties!

I'm glad Taco got a home too. Good job. Two rescues.

A flame point Siamese! Handsome boy ❤

Oh what a fun boy you have. He’s delightful.

Omg, could he be ANY CUTER??? 💖💕😍😍 He looks EXACTLY like my former kitty!! 💖💕🥰

Poor Fitz, I bet he can’t believe the present you brought home for him! Elio is such a cutie 🥰

Elio is such a sweetheart! I’m glad he chose you! He looks like he has Flame Point Siamese cat markings! Just darling!!

When he went for Taco's neck, that puppy had such a look of patience 😂

Narrator: The cat has truly infused my life with love and joy. Her dog: :(

What a sweet, silly, boy.

Emma, adopting Elio is, for sure, the best decision you've ever made. Cats are so smart, so sensitive... You'll never forget him, even when he 'leaves'. That's what happened to me, I still remember him as my little baby! 😍

They both are beautiful and gorgeous animals.

Absolutely love kitties. They are so funny to watch while also being a fuzzballs of love.

Lol him climbing the tree

I adopted a flame point Siamese like Elio back in the year 2000. He had been living on the streets of Austin, Texas, and was estimated to be 3 years old at the time. The Siamese Rescue organization that had found him, booked a flight for him to Pittsburgh, which was the nearest large airport for me to pick him up. Buddy spent the next 16 years, improving my quality of life.

Elio is precious. Nice to have a good friend like him. Good job!

Elio is just a lightly toasted marshmallow, he’s so CUTE!! ♥️ 🥰

What a beautiful cat and the woman who saved him is a precious gift from God. May you always be blessed

God bless you Emma thank you for saving Elio and Taco I heard there are a lot of strays In Mexico as well ! What a beautiful story so happy they have loving homes 🙏🏾♥️ we all can help good people by helping strays by getting adult mama dogs and mama cats fixed ! This will lessen the stray issue 🙏🏾♥️

"cats chose you, and you just gotta go with it, it's the best decision you will ever make" FACTS, I love my kitties that adopted me. ^.^

💖💖💖💖 so happy Elio and Taco have fun FOREVER loving homes🤗🤗

Sweet kitty and human.

He is such a cute and curious monster~😅 Thank you for sharing this video~🤗

My cat picked me too! She stuck her paw through the bars at the animal shelter and pushed down my baseball cap. That was 16 years ago! She is the best!

When a cat chooses you it is the best thing that could ever happen to you because you earned it. I love my crazy orange cat and could not imagine life without him

Rescuers are Angels 👼🏽

My second cat was named Taco. Actually Taco Bell but I called him Taco. I have his ashes in a little box on my dresser. He was an amazing cat.

What a lovely feline man Elio is and I’m thankful that his caregiver Emma decided to keep him. He has thrived in her care. They suit each other very well, as far as human-pet bonds go. Bravo!

Animals know good people. YOU ARE ONE OF THEM! ❤️ 🥰

Elio definitely chose you! He’s beautiful ❤️

Elio is really adorable, I can’t blame her for falling in love with him. I’m glad that they found each other. 💕

What a magnificent cat! I see Lilac Siamese in his bloodline.

Love enriches your life. Hate only destroys

Thank you so much for taking him in and giving him a home.

I'm always happiest when I obey my cats.

Elio is a joy to watch and he obviously chose a good human. Fitz seems to be a great older brother 💙🐈🐾🐶🐾

So true, I have 4 cats two of them showed up and adopted me 😃

My heart melted from cuteness!

He is THE MOST ADORABLE cat with those blue crossed-eyes and beautiful markings ever ❤❤❤❤❤

Elio chose the right human. Good onya Emma 💜🐈💜

Now we can hopefully have more ELIO videos with ELO music in the background ( great music group from the last century) but I guess we now have to hold on the Taco! He's living the golden life somewhere else!

Eliot is so cute and Emma is beautiful omg 🥰

God bless you for saving this sweet cat🙏❤😸

He has the best mama in the whole world

Eliot is so playful and compared to my cat he doesn't want to have fun with me he goes out with his cat friends but when I'm busy he will want to start to meow at me and Eliot he will just want to play any second🤣

Love!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

He saw her cuddling the puppy and knew he was safe with her!

Oh my gosh, he is just like the 5 month old little girl cat we adopted, wild and bites everything and everyone. But like you said they give us SO MUCH JOY AND LAUGHS into our lives. Oh and I have a 14 year old female and she still is not so happy with her because of the wildness. But they will be fine. Your boy is so beautiful, congrats 👏 💖

You are so very right about cats choose their humans, and when they do you are blessed.

At the end of the video, Elio was like 'Mom, stop! You are embarrassing me! '.... I guess his mom was right about him being a teenager...

Cute! ^-^

That is one of the coolest and heartwarming stories I've heard in awhile, you guys had to adopt them, cuz if you didn't I think they would have followed you guys all the way back to LA.....lol. thank you for sharing, and you are such a good person for doing what you did.
