It's spring cleaning time and we desperately needed to take care of the cat corner after filling it up with all our house catalogues. The cat tower poles (which I'm pretty sure have some sort of hand-stabbing PLASTIC rope?!) have also been shredded to the point where our cats now sometimes slip when trying to climb it and therefore don't use it as often. So we bought some actual rope to replace it with, severely underestimating the amount of rope it requires to wrap cat poles.
For the record, we used maybe 50-55 meters (~55-60 yards) of 6mm hemp rope (on a 10cm thick pole, about 110cm in length, if anyone out there needs to make their own calculations), which cost about 1,200 yen (~$12) per 20 meters. So it makes sense why they would use something cheap, plastic and stabby when making the original product... Anyway, we could only do the two most used poles instead of all of them today. But that's okay, because we also underestimated how long it would take to re-wrap the poles, and there wouldn't have been enough hours in the day to do the whole thing anyway!

HELLO I have spring cleaning energy and I'm here to fix - e v e r y t h i n g -
Love ur cats!
I hope you remembered to check for pins before putting that in the wash 😳
Hi!
Great ideas
Cleaning is pretty fun
I am fascinated by the fact that Poki isn't scared of going into enclosed spaces (such as boxes) since he got stuck inside of a trash can so many times.
Poki be Poki
poki wasn't stuck inside trash the trash (food) was stuck with poki
Pretty sure he enjoyed his time in the trashcan
He does it because he loves enclosed spaces so much
I guess he didn't feel stuck
they had to rescue him from behind the back of the fridge once.
Poki when asked to climb: Nope
Poki when there's food above: OUT OF MY WAY
Rachel could litterally walk you through how to cure cancer and Jun would still be focusing on the cats
The secret is that cats are the cure.
I'm good with that
Of course! The cats are adorable
Jun knows why we're here
as he should
Rachel: (giving snacks to nagi) He’s a smart boy
Poki: (stealing food from the bag) GOD TEIR PLAYS
poki be like: stop me if you can lmao
Lol
poki is also a smart boy for doing that
work smarter not harder
😂😂😂
Rachel: *explaining stuff*
Jun: “haha cats go meow” *zooms in to cats”
Hes doing gods work
We get the best of both world imo. Rachel has a very nice voice to listen to and cats!
@@Cosplaythief you're totally right xDD
He's the marketer of the team. He knows what gets engagement--kitties.
_5 seconds in the video he started zooming in and I live for it_
Pichi has gotten so much more confident. Although she's still a fragile girl.
I was just happy to see her. I was wondering where she was the whole video. Unless I missed her at the start.
@@IzikiZara she was in her basket at the very beginning of the video. Rachael was holding Poki while Pichi was over her shoulder on the basket in front of the window.
She’s a shy girl but she’s making progress. Reminds me of Jenna and Julien’s rescue greyhound Bunny. Gentle souls
Best girl
@@zerofox641 other best girl
Omg Haku looks like he's doing better!
I definitely think his fur is starting to grow back! I don't see him scratching or licking as much, although I think we'll need a little more time to be sure things are fine again.
You could say he is fluffing back up
@@RachelandJunAdventures Yeah he's looking much better! I recently had a similar problem with one of my cats but it turned out to be a stress problem which caused over-licking, I made a few changes around the house and it seems to have subsided now. Glad to see Haku doing better, though, and hopefully it all clears up soon! 😊
@@RachelandJunAdventures How's he going with the Royal Canine food? I've read their ingidients, and they are not good for cats. So it's interesting to hear you opinion on it.
Glad to hear Haku get back normal
Love how Nagi was sleeping and had zero interest climbing the pole, then heard the toy box opening and was off like a shot 😂😂😂
Perking up exactly with the music too XD it's adorable
I love the fact that pichi is the only one who can fit in the little cat basket and she's so cute. Her little ears poking up. Also poki and pichi are just the cutest pair.
i love your profile picture!
@@kippyips thanks, it's adorable and fits surprisingly well.
@@Duelkitten
yep, and gotta love an invader zim reference :)
I also came to say that I like your PFP lol.
cardboard tower: *falling *
Jun: i shall use the force
The force is not very effective...
Rachel: Literally falls and bends backwards to catch the boxes
Jun: Oh they are falling. I could catch. (extends arms) Nah, they are already too far for me to catch
2:35
Two reactions for the falling cardboard tower:
rachel: i need to stop it!! *full body commitment *
jun: *reaks out hand * nah, nevermind
aww, pichi is so small that we can only see her ears when she sits in the basket!
Yeah, i had same cat construction and non of my fatty boys could fit in 🤣
She's the only one who even fits in there!
@@Scriptadiaboly I had the same thing and a foster dog we had for a few months always slept in it!
I don't know what his race would be called in english but just imagine a slightly skinnier but taller chihuahua with doberman colors. He was also very smart!
I miss him but he's at a very good home now, which is great!
2:35 here we see jun attempting to use the force
R: A big, cardboard playing house- *entire cardboard tower crumbles with jun trying to use the force*
Legit my brothers when they half heartedly catch anything from falling, including me.
"i have the energy to clean everything" sounds like me before my period and then i can't finish what i started
I relate to this sentiment heavily. Explains a lot. Dunno how I never concluded this.
Sooo true! Happened to me today.
May I recommend getting rid of it?
@@pemanilnoob God I wish but have you heard about men's opinion on women bodily autonomy? Hahaha yeah. I can't extract my uterus out of my body even if I want to.
"He's Staying! Like a Cicada"
Bro 😂
Perfect comparison XD
so much rachel and jun content lately! its amazing!!
Ditto!
yeahhh they stopped uploading for whole months and now we're back with a lot of poki screams and cute cats
It's the best!
666 you are the devil!
Agreed
Jun: Nagi, come test the new scratcher.
Nagi: Nope. Not moving ever, nope, no sir-
Rachel: * opens the toy drawer *
Nagi: OMG TOYS MOVE HUMAN MOTHER HAS BROUGHT THE TOYS
I know the other cats are “breeds” and Poki is a “street” guy but he’s come so far and majestic af too!
Most cat breeds started as just a cool looking street cat that someone took in to make more of
@@neznor I know right, it just goes to show the power of rescue that was my point 😊
@Ayesha Oh yes I’ve been here since before he was saved from the highway, that was kinda the point in my joke someone might not see that by just seeing him tho. It was a statement more in that love and care can turn any kitty in something extra specialknowing what “breed” or not. 😊 Rachel just saw a poor dirty and beat up kitty and saved him the fact he probably does have that in him was later in the saga.
@@bmagical3335 Pichi and Poki are the street mutts !
@Ayesha Babar it seems like that with his personality too! Siamese cats need a lot of attention.
Cats: Happily laying in extra kitchen room
Jun: Also happily laying in extra kitchen room
yes
Totally reminded me of planking. Wow, I'm old.
@@maggotst.pierre2361 what's that? sorry im young
Sadly not see yet cat being Gordon Ramsay
Poki: "I'm helping!"
Rachel: "No, you're not. Now get out of the way."
I'm so happy to see Pichi _not_ freaking out and fleeing all the time.
Also, I would _really_ like to subscribe to Bokksu, but last time I checked, shipping and tax to where I live costs more than the actual box :-/
I felt that!!!
I wanna be Rachel and Jun's cat in my next life
Same
Me three
us 🤝
E
Same in America
2:33 "Thanks for catching that" haha seriously, I've never seen someone just watch something fall with no reaction
I like how the timelapse shows Rachel tidying up the room and Jun setting up a seat and a table so he can cuddle with Poki.
Glass confuses Captain Poki.
Also I feel for Pichi, she has that look of an introvert who's watching her friends play and have fun and really does want to participate but just can't bring herself to be like them while everyone is watching. I'm glad she still got treats. It's nice to see her progress.
New drinking game: take a shot every time a box or a book tumbles down
In a new rachel and jun vid
I'd be dead by minute 3
Yes lol
There isn’t enough alcohol for this
help i'm dying of alcohol poisoning
I love how chill their cats are. Poki: Sure you can hold me like a sack of potatos over your shoulder. I get a nice view.
Rachel: Literally falls and bends backwards to catch the boxes
Jun: Oh they are falling. I could catch. (extends arms) Nah, they are already too far for me to catch
Wait-are those moving/storage boxes that convert into CAT HOUSES when you’re done with them??? OMG
They're the boxes that bulk cat litter was sold in! haha
@@RachelandJunAdventures That's still a really clever thing for them to do, I love it!!
I need a gif of Jun watching the boxes fall at 2:34 so that I can use it when someone asks me how my life is going
This just made my morning. I love how Poki is such a mama's boy.
rachel: nagi is so smart!!
poki: im not smart but im sneaky
*puts head into food bag*
he has the same energy as you cannot see me if i cannot see you
That zoom on Pichi in the beginning lol
The old "rope" is made out of sisal and mostly used for cat scartch towers and stuff. Just FYI. :] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisal
It feels really plasticy and artificial, and it's quite shiny. I think it might actually be some sort of plastic. If not, then like a dried hay sort of thing? It doesn't seem like sisal rope, or any other cat tree rope I've seen.
@@RachelandJunAdventures sisal rope can be really rough and I've felt some that are plasticky and hurt their tiny paws, so it may very well be sisal
From the video it definitely looks like sisal, some of my cat towers/trees had cheaper sisal than others, the dyed or coloured sisal definitely felt more plasticy than the undyed sisal if that makes sense
@@kaori8208 i work in a pet supply store and it is definitely sisal.
the amount of serotonin that rushes to my brain when I see one of your thumbnails in my feed :D thanks for the free therapy LOL
I can't believe the incredible progress that Pichi has made!!! She's so much braver and you can tell she's genuinely interested in the goings on with the other cats. I have a couple of ferals that I'm making very slow but steady progress with; although it often feels like one step forwards and two steps back. Pichi's progress gives me hope though!
why do those cardboard boxes have such cute designs?? _i want them_
Same!
Aww, I remember watching the video of you putting that cat tree together when it debuted! It's wonderful that it's been used so much!
Rachel: *Just picks up Poki and puts him on her shoulder*
Poki: Yeah alright
Watching Rachel and Jun's videos are one of the calmest and therapeutic for me as for many who come by. I lost my cat on the first week of new year's and one of my coping mechanisms is watching your videos along with a few other CZcamsrs. I haven't fully recovered from it but every time seeing Poki and Haku, reminding me of my cat, seeing how much both of you treasure all of them in every video just warms my heart. Thank you for putting out light-hearted videos like these as I'm sure it helps others just as much as it does for me.
Hope all of you, no matter where you are, stay safe and happy always.
Lmao the way poki was eating the treat as he’s BARELY hanging on 😂
i always forget how huge haku is until hes completely stretched out like when he was climbing up the pole lol
10:26 Rachel and Jun actively having two separate conversations. 🤣😂
I am so glad to see Haku is feeling better and doesn't need to wear his overalls T^T
I love that Rachel's talking about the difficulty level and Jun is giving words of encouragement 🤣🖤
2:47 Pichi here is like "how dare your m o r t a l self rise up here."
Poki: I see the food is RIGHT HERE. WHAT IS THIS FORCEFIELD??
The way you just put poki on your shoulder was so cute!
0:35 Haku: I got my fur back!
not even a minute in and poki falling in a box already stole my heart
Seeing Pichi always makes my day! Everytime she looks relaxed I'm grateful of people like you guys who don't give up on shy cats
I love how Pichi is just visible over the basket, and I bet she can see the whole house from there!
Can confirm, cats like string of any kind. My yarn would get attacked every time I pulled out my knitting at my aunt's house.
Rachel: let's start by getting all the junk out of here.
Jun: *puts Poki away*
Asjkaskjajsk
Just started cleaning and reorganizing our house. A lot has changed in the past few months, and it's time to go through stuff. I just cleaned out the linen closet and got a cardboard box freed from that, and like 30 seconds later our orange tabby is already in it looking at me with the "What are you going to do about it" face. I also cleared off the top of one our bookcases (it's taller than me) and it quickly became another favorite spot for the cats. I think the cats enjoy me cleaning more than anyone else. My dogs don't care, though they don't like being told they can't lay on the piles of clean laundry we have to go through and decide if we are going to keep it and where we are going to keep it.
Oh, my gosh.Rewrapping the sisal rope around the cat trees is surprisingly HARD. I've had to do ours twice for the cats and it does take an oddly long time for what it is. Glad to see you were smart and wore gloves. I wasn't. Either time. Go figure. lol
Poki is amazingly good at climbing despite his lack of tail. I'm impressed. He's adapted well.
As an *adult* , " _laundry machine-safe_ " is one of the *best things* you can find in a day.
Our tuxedo cat, Shadow, passed away on Sunday. We are heartbroken. Hug your babies every chance you get😭😭😭
Those tuxeto cats sure do own hearts. I lost my tux years ago amd still miss my little kitty
Awwww, that one part where Jun helped Poki climb the cat tower and Poki looked back as if to say "Thank u hooman"... That was so cute!
two uploads in a week! what did we do to deserve this
AND a JunsKitchen video!!
i realize how rarely we actually get to see haku climbing😳
hey
i contracted covid a couple days ago, and wanted to thank you for making the quarantine less boring by keeping me entertained
Thank you so much! I hope you get better soon!!
@@RachelandJunAdventures thanks a lot for the support, fortunately i only have light symptons and its not too big of a deal, outside of the fact i have to stay inside now
@@RachelandJunAdventures fully recovered now, thanks again for the support and entertainment
0:10 Jun lying facedown across the table like a cat while the actual cat looks down at him in concern is hilarious XD
*full of sarcasm* „Thanks for catching that…“ I‘m dying laughing that was so cute 😁
I love Jun's filming style.
"Are cats doing something interesting? I'll just capture that real quick..."
14:48 Pichi's peaking ears are just too adorable! 😂😍
I'm glad Pichi got to at least have some fun climbing at the end. Poki's such a rascal, I love him.
You two are some of the most joyous couples I have ever seen. You enjoy each other and your cats, too! What do you do professionally, for you are so creative and over the top intelligent. You are also industrious. I love watching and listening to your joy almost as much as I enjoy watching your cats. You are angels here on earth! God bless you always!
3:56 Poki looks so disgruntled in this frame 😂
My cat is jealous! He was climbing between me and my phone and parking his butt in my face the entire time I was watching this 😹
Jun face down on his kitchen counter is a mood
Poki is just such a happy boy, thankful to be able to live surrounded with such love and other fun things.
I'll call this a "pre-move" clean as much as American and some EMEA "Spring Cleaning" :) Cats can be just as messy as some kids. Looks nice and tidy after though :)
I love citrucy snacks too! Anything that has a lemony taste or scent in sweets is my fave. Lemon cakes!!
Captain Poki is back in his boat :)
I love that Pichi is settling in, getting comfortable, and getting along with the boys.
Your cats are soooo fortunate to have you as owner! Can you adopt me as well?? 🙄
how’s haku doing? i see he isn’t wearing his anti-itch diaper
Love how all the Japanese sounds Jun are making. 😆
My cat of nearly 18 years had to be put to sleep this morning... so this video cheered me up loads thank you so much Rachel and Jun❤️
I understand how feeling. My cats are my kids too
the first minute of poki doing stuff is genuinely SO funny!!! and pichi has warmed up to you guys so much 😭
WHY IS RACHEL SO CUTE I aspire to be her I love her energy and vibes
Why am i watching someone clean there house and completely enjoying it!
2:04 Graceful Rachel... lol
Jun reminds me of my bf 😅
Rachel: Let’s clean this up
Jun: *plays with cats*
-he is a smart boy...
Poki: but i can do this ( *face in the bag*)
Seeing what a soft and good-natured boi Poki is always brings warmth to my heart, especially considering his condition when you first met him 😭
i love that whenever they find a stray cat they talk about getting it all better and then finding it a home but it always seems to be their home haha
Ah yes, "Jun assist!", my favorite ultimate
Pichi is so comfortable being around now !
This might be random, but I'm happy you guys are posting a lot because that means that Rachel is in a good place to film & doing well!!!!😊😊😊
Pichi seems so comfortable now! You guys are such kind souls to be able to take in these cats and not only provide them with their basic needs but to really give them a beautiful and fulfilling home.
Honestly the most adorable couple on CZcams if not the whole internet 🥰 ♥️ Love you guys from West Asia 💕
3:22 nothing to see there, just Poki being a Potato bag
I love when pichi and poki are together 😸👍it’s so cute!
All the cats are so cute! My Norwegian forest cat likes to see the cats to💗
Perfect timing when I'm listening to all of your cat videos while working 😂 I'm excited for when you guys are finally able to move into your house!!! :)
Rachel and Jun are the most wholesome couple on CZcams, the are so adorable I can’t handle it.
I would love a t shirt of Poki in his boat and Pichi's little notched ears sticking out of her basket. 🐈💕
These are my favorite types of Rachel and Jun videos I love them so much!
