Ultimate DIY Indoor Cat Playground You Can't Miss
I'd like to introduce you to our newest family member...Bucky the Cat. I decided to build him a little kitty playground where he can test his abilities and also get away from our dogs every once in awhile. With the high price of wood lately I decided to build everything out of scrap wood from past projects.

You had almost as much fun building it as Bucky had playing on it 😁 Amazing job and great to watch your skills in action!
Thank you Susan, it was a ton of fun to build
@@GoodlyEarth very good job :D
@@GoodlyEarth Aw, Bucky! How much fun, for BOTH of you!
Great obstacle course. Maybe you need to attach a pillow to the bed with Velcro. Otherwise, it will be easier for the pillow to slip, and the cat may fall down.
Happy kitty.
@@youtubesucks1499 I love it when cats are happy 😊
@@guyontheinternet1734 Me too.
@@youtubesucks1499 also I find it funny and kind of ironic that your username is KZhead Sucks and your on KZhead...
Cats land on their feet in the rare case they fall. Well... most cats that is. Somehow mine doesn't.
I love this! Especially the hexagons that was a very cool addition. One of them has an exit that seems to be oriented into open air and you can see Bucky having some issue with it at 6:07. A small platform under the hexagon might be worthwhile.

Love this man. He’s so compassionate and creative, full of ingenuity, talent and humour!
Ikr, Bucky is just so lovable. …oh wait…
You are quite the guy. I love your enthusiasm. Guys do not usually love cats to this degree. Your imagination and skills are quite evident. Great Job Buddy.
Wow, thank you Richard
Very beautiful kitty 🐈⬛
That mounting system is a really nice trick!
The hexagons and cleat system are damn clever!!
You need carpet on them octagon pieces too, at least he would be able to prevent a slip fall. Nice work and thanks for sharing 👍🇬🇧 looks like he enjoys it
The loose pillow on the bed concerns me the most. I'd sew on some tassels to secure it. (or grommets).
Agree
@@brianwest2775 - He replied further up that he removed the pillow and "installed" carpet on it.
Agree. And I mentioned the same thing - more carpeting needed.
Fun video, and what a lucky cat! I love how he just immediately started working out on it. The cleat system is a revelation, and the way you constructed and assembled that hexagon was jaw dropping. Thanks! I've had a fantasy of making ceiling-height play areas for my cats for many years.
Thanks Victoria. Just start with one project at a time and before you know it you have a wall full of fun.
yes, he lost me at tablesaw though 😢
I can’t decide which I love more: how happy you seemed building it, or how happy he seemed playing on it 😊😊😊😊
Ditch the bridges though, cats like platforms that feel secure. Learned that after my first attempt. Also unless your cat is older, you need WAY less shelves than you think. Its faster and easier for cats to make one long jump than lots of small ones.
Great build! And, as a U of WI alumn, I applaud your kitten's appellation.
Clever use of tape to help put the boxes together. LOVE the little Indianna Jones kitty bridge. Bed on the wall is so cute surprised he didn't take a nap after the first workout. You obviously love cats and you are a master craftsman. Hopefully you can market these items or at least sell the plans. Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to go find my drill.
Indiana Jones bridge 😂 Exactly!!! Such a lucky cat!
Amazing! I would recommend to secure the little fish pillow as well, so it won't slip while he's sleeping on it or jumping on it, since that could cause some injury. But other than that, amazing!
I actually removed the pillow and put on the carpet. Just for the same reason you mentioned!! Great idea.
What a great cat dad. ❤
That cat had a great time immediately.
What a lucky cat! Lucky Buckey! So awesome!
The hexagon was a complete surprise! Love it. You're a great inspiration on making beautiful things from scrap wood.
Thank you so much
Bucky has a great cat dad!
Just watching and the faster he got thru your maze..more fun..more confidence..more calmer kittyyyy!!!!!😂
Absolutely precious, I love how much effort and love you put into building the cat walk for Bucky and you can tell he appreciates every min that went into it. 😊
Awesome stuff - my other half loved it, told her I can make something similar, but for me to be able to do that, I need my man shed first plus all the associated equipment and tools. This clip has finally convinced her that my man shed and associated equipment and tools are an absolute necessity for every modern household - thank you, thank you and thank you. I would make the bed a bit bigger though, our Ms Muppet is rather fussy about that sort of thing and what Ms Muppet wants Ms Muppet gets so says the other half
Dutch, you just went full monte my friend. Let us know how it goes.
@Dutch Are The Best Right. You need more tools to execute Ms Muppet project. While you’re at it , convince your significant other that you need full man - cave. Computer station , gaming , darts, an obscenely large wide screen tv for all sports [football aka soccer, cricket ,tennis]. Maybe a bar w/ stool chairs for your crew too- just tell her you’ll offer tea or capuccino also lol
Wow! Big man loves his cat.
omg, Bucky is having so much fun!! You are a Master builder!!
I lost my cat, also named Bucky a few months ago(he was 14). You did an amazing job on this! I hope your Bucky brings you many years of happiness as mine did!
Thank you for the kind words. I'm sorry about your loss. Our pets mean so much to us.
the fact that your willing to build something for your cat using left over materials at your house instead of waiting until you can afford the materials at the store then build it is heartwarming.
Love is doing things, not just talking. Lucky Bucky.
That is a fantastic structure! Lucky Bucky!
You have a very blessed kitty. And his ability to inspire you to make him such a wonderful wall playground was fab!
I love watching kitties have fun! Such a great job!
Thank you! 😊
素敵なDIY😆 心がこもってますね🥰 猫は大喜びですね❤
This cat is the luckiest one in the world. very well done. I loved de idea. Im afraid I dont have the habilities for such a wonderful work.but love cats and dogs. they deserve the best.
This is the most underrating video I have ever seen. You deserve more views, and that cats Worked to hard on that one little playground for that one little cat, you should be praised!! That’s amazing. I could never. I’m so impressed. Wow, I’m subscribing.
Wow, thank you! Thank you for your support. More videos to come!!
Seems like making Shorts draws attention to your site. Keep it up. SUSCRIBED.
You all stole my heart!!!! Bucky is nearly identical to a kitten we adopted, we knew he had FeLv and didn't care. We loved him a year and I never imagined how much he would steal our hearts. Wish I had your woodworking talent!! Thank you so much for sharing this, and for the ideas!! Best wishes, furdad! TREATS for everyone!!
Dawn what a wonderful comment. Thank you so much.
Bucky is so lucky to meet you❤
And I am luck to have such a fun loving cat.
That's some serious dad/cat love! ❤️👍
What a fabulous, stimulating playground! It's clearly kitty approved! Thanks for sharing! 👍🐈 ❤
Ann, thanks for watching!!
Amazing build, you’re very thorough and precise. Bucky is such a cutie, he’s very blessed. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
I could watch Bucky all day.
We love watching him. Except at 2:00 in the morning when he's playing on it all night
thats one lucky cat hope he lives a long life
Oh my goodness...that is so darn cute and so is Bucky. Bucky is also one very lucky little kitty!!
Love Maine Coone cats. They have such wonderful playful personalities. I've been wanting to do an indoor play system for my cats for awhile. So many great ideas out there that it's hard to settle on what will work for my space and what will keep my kitties interested.
Bucky looks happy that’s for sure!
He has also made us very happy.
I admire your creativity
Bucky is so cute. That playground is huge
I love to see great cat parents, and Bucky has great parents. Have a wonderful life Bucky. I love what you built for Bucky.❤️🐈🐕🐕❤️
Thank you Pattie.
Bucky's a real charmer and quite handsome. :0) You could tell he appreciated all the work you did to make him happy.
Bucky is lucky!
Awesome job. Bucky is not only adorable but truly lucky to have a dad that really enjoys seeing him as well as his brothers and/or sisters happy.
As someone who loves my cats and loves to create and build, the laugh at 3:54 is so adorably wholesome.
Oh my goodness that is the most energetic cat I’ve ever seen 😂😂
Theres a cat who will never be bored!
Bucky is such a thankful cat. My cat would have probably looked up a second and than wondered off to play with an old box. Great build, you should consider selling them.
I'll bet your kitty would make use of this as cats love to climb 😁
You look yourself just as happy as Bucky! That I like very much. 💝✨😃😺
I am! When it was coming together I think I was amazed at how great it was looking. Then in the end, when he climbed all over the place, I knew he loved it.
happy cat !
So creative and awesome…!!! It warms my heart to see you go through such lengths to make your cats life fun and exciting….. spoiling our pet is what we should do….!!! Bucky was so cute on the ladder investigating the progress… he knew you were building something for him…!! Your the best…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾
You are so kind. If we spoil and love our pets they will return the love ten fold.
Bucky is having so much fun!! Perfect places for him to grip onto the rope and carpet. You did a great job!! I would love to watch him play on it longer. 😍
This is a great way to show that you actually love cats!
Bucky is one lucky cat.
You did a great job and Bucky really deserves it! He brought a smile to my face, when he climbed up there... :)
This looks fantastic! You’re an excellent builder - Bucky looks like his having too much fun!
Bucky be living his best life right now!!!
I like watching woodwork. Definitely prefer watching bucky trying it out.
bucky made my day.
Nice build! I wish you give some details or measurement how to build this.
Bucky has no fear lol. Amazing job on the cat playground. I'm feeling inspired!
Bucky looks pretty happy with the result!
Tim, he was loving it!
What a Great Playground for Bucky!!
TOTALLY AWESOME. Was lovely watching Bucky enjoying himself. 5-star cat dad.
Beautiful cat walk!! You could sell those for a pretty penny!
Bucky is a lucky cat!
…as a CATS lover THANK Y O U.I admire people with ideas how to make animal’s life easier.😻😻😻😻😻😻
Thank you Kristina
This is so imaginative! And it’s great enrichment for your cat! Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Will do!
this was so good !!!!!!!!!!!! bucky looks so cute and happy. the ceiling fan concerns me though, i hope he cant reach it !
Hi Alex, don't worry, he hasn't even tried to get up there and jump over.
Great job, Bucky is one lucky kitty!
Wow her excitement and joy is so transparent ;-)
Bucky LOVES it!!! So awesome to see how happy it makes him. 😊
He loves it!!!
And you’re using the right tools!!! I loved watching him have so much fun BUT what bout when he gets bigger and navigating that bridge. I look forward to seeing a video of that when the time gets here.
How proud your look when you showed the bridge. Very contagious!
I thought it turned out so great.
Love your giggle , that’s one lucky kitty
Thanks Eli, I love that cat!
How awesome! Bucky is having a great time! Love it!
AWESOME! Great job and Bucky is having a blast!!!
You and Bucky are so lucky to have each other!
Cat Daddy. Amazing stuff you did for the cat
This was wonderfully charming! Also, using French cleats to be able to change it up easily is basically genius.
Thanks Chris, using the cleats really helps
Estimated which was the cutting angle of the hexagon. Thank you so much.
Me too!
360/6=60
Wait, it's not 60. It's 30 degrees. There are 12 cuts, so 30 degrees
It's a 30 degree cut on each side. 6 pieces, 12 cuts. 360/12 is 30 degrees
@@GoodlyEarth Hah! Yeah, well, I’m gonna blame alcohol. That’s the ticket!
Dude !!! I was totally sold at the hexagonal box with the blue tape and the glue... AWESOME woodworking ...
Thank you so much, what a great compliment
And my poor cat has me for a mama... it's all the fun gadgets you make that makes them happy... so inspirational.
You did a great job at making your fur baby happy! What an awesome play ground!😻🧡❤️💜💙💚😻
Thank you Sharen!!!
I had a lot of fun just watching this. Bucky is so cute by the way. I have 3 cats right now 2 boys and 1 girl. Their names are Alfred, Lucky and Truffles. I wish I could build something nice like this for them it would definitely keep their minds from wanting to go outside all the time. I can understand though because staying in the house can definitely be boring.
You can catify your house for indoor cats! Have a look at Jackson Galaxy's videos on this ♥️
Super cat tree! My husband built a catio for our new kitty this spring and he has been the happiest kitty ever! Since the weather is getting colder, perhaps it is time for an inside "gym" like you have built!
Oh wow! You, your cat, and husband will love it!!! Let me know if you build it.
@@GoodlyEarth I'ld like to add that your woodworking skills are superb! The multi-sided shelf that you rolled up to complete the shape, was amazing! I've never seen anything like that done before. Thanks. I imagine you have to calculate the angle of the side cuts to get the boards to fit well.
Never seen a cleat system for a cat playground. genius move. great all-round work. thanks for the Bucky footage as well.
Oh my gosh I'm a nervous wreck thinking Bucky is going to have a fall! Lol you did a fantastic job building it!
This is fantastic, I just need to find a place in my bedroom for something like that. Our 'gutter' kitten/cat harasses the heck out of our older one, always wants to play play play, but she wants little to nothing to do with his wily rambunctious antics. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for watching
best cat playground video I've seen so far!
Jackson Galaxy would b so proud🥺❤️ bucky was so happy! made my week❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you liked it Natalie!!!
That's incredible! I'd love to do something like that for our cats.
One project at a time!! You got this!
Looks like your build was made for a kitten vs. a fully grown cat. Gotta wonder if he will still climb and be able to navigate this course when he's fully grown.
Why wouldn't he? He may have to crouch in the hexagons and curl tightly to fit in the bed, but that's what cats DO. I don't see any issues unless the cat grows to be 30# or the size of an average Bassett Hound (I think a beagle or smaller would still fit; using dogs for easy comparison) One of my pussycats is almost 25# -not fat, just BIG - & about the size of a Westie; he'd fit, tho he'd prolly not need the climbing posts; cld go from platform to platform & the rope bridge would need reinforcement jic.
The honey comb is by far the coolest part. Very inspirational. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
hes so happy!
Those hexagon shelves, luvvv them 😃😍. My girls would absolutely love it…. You inspired me, someday I would love to build them…. Thank 👍☺️
You should!
