    Had a rough morning and this video was JUST what I needed. Too many people insist cats are “less work” than dogs and it’s not true at all… they simply need different things!! Thank you for building a place to stimulate their minds and enrich their lives. Keep being awesome, both as a woodworker AND a “cat dad”!! ❤️👍🏻

    It is obvious that the safety and health of your kits is paramount to you. I am wondering if you are able to take them outside the cattery on a leash & harness??
    But putting in many hours of your time you have created for them their own outdoor space where they are safe. All kitties should be so loved!👍😸🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

  • @bbute2724
    @bbute2724 Před 2 měsíci +1

    This is great, maybe consider putting some old carpet or sisal on the ladder? This will make the cats more stable while they're on it and less likely to fall off, especially after rain, since they'll have something to cling onto with their paws!

    I used to have my whole backyard fenced in with that purr-fect fence product, but I couldn’t keep it secure, and my kitty kept escaping so eventually I had it torn down. But now he is becoming a door-dasher whenever I’m not looking. So I’m thinking it would be wonderful if I could make something like this attached to my dining room window. But I don’t have any of the woodworking tools that you do so I’ll just have to admire from afar.😊

    A great project Keith, not too stressful to do as it didn't need to be perfect! I wish more cat owners would take a leaf out of your book and keep their cats at home, instead of allowing them to roam free and use their neighbours gardens as toilets!
    I must have spent £100's of pounds over the years on cat prevention methods and replacing/repairing plants etc!
    I work as a gardener and come across cat mess on a daily basis.
    It's beyond me why people let their cats out, when surely the idea of having a pet is for companionship and company!
    You must get a great deal of pleasure watching their antics in their new playground!
    Well done, and thanks for taking the time to produce the videos!

    It was obvious that you were having a great time doing this Keith, a great bit of creativity and as always resourceful use of reused materials where possible.
    You are a very kind Cat-Father, I'm sure Mickey & Hazel will really appreciate your efforts on their behalf, makes for a much more stimulating life for them both ! Your observation that they seem quite content with the artificial grass is the equivalent of buying a child a really great gift and they play with the box ! Perhaps you should have made a bin for Mickey to break into ? 🤔
    Btw some really good and entertaining videography in this, like all the different angles & views used and of course particularly the use of teeth as a third hand ! 😉😅

    Once catmint roots get a good hold, they can be put into a small to medium pot and hung up high. Bees and Hummingbirds will visit the flowers and you can nip off leaves or stems to instantly give some to the cats or use to dry to make tea. This allows you to grow catnip without the cats getting into the pot and eating the whole plant. We bought a packet of catnip seeds and sprinkled them into the dirt around the edge of our cemented backyard. Our cats couldn't keep up with the amount of catnip plant that grew and it was encroaching onto the cement by a foot! I ended up having to trim it every few months after it flowered and drying the stems. Made lots of gifts for my cat loving family and friends.

    The Cats say Big thank you. I bought a glass ( plastic) cat door, which was circular. I went to my local glass supply shop and they cut a circle to size. Cost me ( from memory) about AUD $25 to cut and $50 for the cat door from a pet shop. A local glass place might be able to do the same, rather than full blown replacement. Mickey seems a very loving cat, but he loves his food 😊

    Any videos with your cats in are guaranteed a watch, and this is no exception. I have 4 of them at home myself, and one of them would be just like yours, "assisting" or "supervising" all aspects of the build. In a couple of my videos you can even hear her meowing from outside my workshop door, like 'lemme in y'bugger! You know you're not safe without me checking up on you!'
    Anyway, another great video, Keith. Nice work as ever, even a hand saw got in on the action! Cool.

    great stuff and what sweet happy kitties! even though it's a more simple project than you usually tackle, i have to admit that i really love the cat furniture stuff the best.

    You enjoyed making this as much as the cats love having it! Maybe next you can make a scratching pole. I love the penthouse!
