    Made this for my cat...my dog uses it.

    Just a tip.... wear the shirt without washing it. Most cats find alot of comfort in their owners scent.

    • @hoangmai7082
      @hoangmai7082 Před 4 lety +3

      That's sound cool

    • @lucidevotee6652
      @lucidevotee6652 Před 3 lety +2

      Easy way to do this: find a shirt you don't wear anymore, wash it if you want (to be clean at least), then sleep in the shirt. It'll get your sent without getting dirty through out the day or have any odor. ♡

    My cat tent creation story: I went to the dollar store to get metal coat hangers because all mine were wood. At the dollar store I found ready made pop up cat tents for $3.

  • @wench4gumby
    @wench4gumby Před 7 lety +51

    Omg! Our tent was looking so bad, but our cat didn't care about looks. He got right in it & went to sleep! He freaking loves it! Thanks for this awesome diy! The hot glue tip was very helpful. I can't believe how much our cat loves it!

  • @ethanhughes75
    @ethanhughes75 Před 7 lety +158

    I made one today and my cats love it. I'm gonna make a bunch of them and then donate them to the SPCA and humane society

  • @Rotsuoy
    @Rotsuoy Před 8 lety +12

    I'm really glad you made a video of this. I've come across the tutorial before and half of it made no sense. I'm assuming it wasn't simply a repost, but someone trying to take credit for the idea and explaining it very poorly, because it seemed as though the one you followed was very legible. Regardless, thank you!

  • @icyblue432
    @icyblue432 Před 6 lety

    I tried this. Didn't look anywhere as neat as yours but my cat still likes it. Thanks

  • @arvindmrao
    @arvindmrao Před 8 lety +25

    Brilliant!!! Had seen a different version, in which they didn't use the base...
    Just a small suggestion, instead of a cardboard, if you use a ply as the base, the tent becomes really sturdy! :)
    Love the video and the cat!
    Cheers!

    • @anitaarchibald6138
      @anitaarchibald6138 Před 7 lety +1

      And use some wire on the hangers instead of masking tape. Even duct tape would be better then masking tape.

  • @pipspetparadise8889

      @jacklyndrawz6653 Před 8 lety +15

      My cat is a fat orange tabby with not one ounce of flexibility in his body... He took up the entire tent, his fat head was sticking out of the shirt hole... lol.

    • @punkyfeathers1639

      I have a similar cat. Huge, orange tabby. I'm going to try and make this bed larger, I'll use a 2xl shirt.

    • @sparkleguineapig
      @sparkleguineapig Před 9 lety +1

  • @HobbiesandHaulsHangout

    This was an awesome tutorial. I had all the supplies, made a 15" x 15" cardboard bottom with a soft old tee shirt and it turned out perfectly! Set it outside my door for an old, one-eye'd deaf stray cat that has been "guarding" my front door and now he has a semi-safe place to lay. :-) Thanks for sharing this with us. It was super easy to make!

  • @lauraaqui219

    These are honestly the best projects for cats, I have made a few DIY cat toys and my cat "Tippy" loves them!, I am also looking forward to making the DIY cat pin since my cat loves to sleep in warm closed space places so I figured he might like it, and hopefully I will soon to be making a list of what I could make for my cat, anyways thanks and keep up the great work, toodles! :)

    If you have a large cat it might be worth going to a DIY shop and getting some number 8 fencing wire (basically the same as the stuff coat hangers are made from) and a larger bit of card and making a bigger one for the bigger cat.

  • @Hyaphill

    This would be great for Guinea Piggs! You would just have to use something water proof for the base, maybe a piece of a lid from a container. And you could put a fleece pad on the inside! My piggies are going to love this! Thank you!
