Overview

The Farmyard Feline Philosopher is an episode from the seventh season of Garfield and Friends.

Synopsis[]

When the Weasel encounters the Feline Philosopher, he gets a motivation speech that enables him to steal the chickens without being thwarted.

Plot[]

The alarm goes off on the farm, causing a panic as the Weasel steals the chickens. Wade asks Roy what is happening, and upon learning about the Weasel, Wade panics. Orson chases the Weasel, encountering Roy disguised as a crossing guard. Roy directs the Weasel to a cannon disguised as a tunnel, saving the chickens and launching the Weasel away. Roy tells Orson he used enough gunpowder to send the Weasel to another show, which Orson finds harsh.

The Weasel lands in a junkyard and meets the Feline Philosopher, who motivates him to try again. Back on the farm, Roy and Orson discuss the Weasel's lack of motivation, but soon the Weasel speeds through with the chickens, plowing through Wade, Roy, and Orson. They chase him but lose him in the woods.

In the junkyard, Orson and Roy meet the Philosopher, who offers a motivational speech. Orson refuses, but Roy listens, hoping it will help. They eventually find the Weasel preparing to cook the chickens and chase him away. Roy worries the Weasel will return for more motivation from the Philosopher.

Orson brings the Philosopher to Wade, hoping to make him too traumatized to motivate anyone. After sharing traumatic stories, the Philosopher gives up and runs away. To their dismay, Wade becomes the new philosopher, motivating Orson and Roy to do chores around the farm.
