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”!! ❤️👍🏻
Thank you so much!
I have had cats and dogs and cats are less work than dogs in my experience
@@smashingturnips5353most definately agree with you!
Love this . Excellent job .😊
Very thoughtful build and such a relief to watch you work when the news is so abysmal. Free Palestine!
What good people you are and may GOD bless you all😊
Seeing Mickey just chill out and be cute while you were painting was the most precious thing I’ve seen today!
I really like the fact that your cat was supervising your project. Jack
FIV cats actually CAN interact with other cats so long they get along (no deep bites)! Thanks for building this for your furbabies, theyre absolute darlings, and youre such an excellent cat dad
Better to keep them off the streets with or without FIV. There's greater dangers than fighting with other cats unfortunately.
Several times Mickey and Hazel showed their claws. You might want to consider a scratching post of some kind. Wish I could afford to give my Millie a catio as nice as the one you built. I really loved this video. Thanks for sharing.
I’m honestly not sure if I prefer the woodworking or filmmaking in this one Keith. That awesome shot of the track saw cutting the batons, the cats exploring montages and the music. Such an unexpectedly peaceful watch
As a cat's dad I can feel how much love there is between you and them. ❤
After 30 plus years of no daytime issues in my rural setting,heartbroken that I lost my Mr Tibbs to a Golden Eagle,so,there'll be a roof for my springtime build of my Cat Adventure Playground. Glad you don't have that worry. You gave me some good ideas,thanks.
I spent a good deal of time this year building a “cat walkway” around the top floor of our house for our indoor cats. That and various shelves means they have plenty to climb on and run around. They’re so much more fun projects than most as the cats love them!
So glad Mickey and Hazel approve! You did a lovely job, and I’m so glad Mickey was there to supervise you! 😄
Mate, I love how much effort you’re putting into making fun activities for these cats. I have two cats and people don’t understand.
Couple of lucky felines you got there! Your grin at 11:04 says it all! 😻 Nice work, Keith.
Wow this is absolutely quality Keith! The lengths you go to make your cats happy is incredible. Says a lot about a man who is this kind to animals.
That's really awesome. I have a kitty of 14 going on 15 yrs rescue. I'm making her a cardboard house. She loves boxes. Thank you for your love of our beautiful fur babies. ❤
I looove this video so much ! It is such a beautiful work that comes directly from the heart. Mickie and Hazel seem to approve their lovely catio 😉 it is heartwarming to watch them enjoy a nice and secure outdoor space ❤ Well done 👏 That's also why I love your channel. You are a passionate and kind person and you put heart in your work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Great build Keith, plenty of fun for Mickie and Hazel . It's good what you have done these cats will love you for ever Great video mate take care😀❤🐱🔧🔨🪛🪚👍👍👍
Your cats are precious and Mickie always offers you a helping paw ❤
This cat owner is a dream for every cat ✨
I love Poppy!!!! And so wonderful to see Poppy's Mom and Dad are so good to her
You just opened up their world❤❤❤❤❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Omg Mr Mickey is just the cutest 🥰
That was sweet! The cat was happy and visiting like she knew and appreciated it. Yeah, that was nice.
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.😊
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!
What a sweetie you are! That’s a wonderful play area for the cats and it looked as though you really enjoyed the process of construction. Lucky cats!
Very nice. Isn't it neat how cats always know when something is just for them. Now put the litter pan out there too--and life is better for all.
Two very very lucky cats.💕🌟🐈🐈⬛
You did a good job. The cats loved it. You are a good cat parent.
Awesome job! Your cats are adorable but Mickie supervising you is the sweetest❤❤❤❤
You're cat Micky looks just like my beloved Nicky, who passed over the rainbow bridge last year. Will get another kitty again some day, you've given me lots of ideas. Thanks from Boise, Idaho, USA.
It's so rewarding to see them enjoy something you've build for them, isn't it. Very nicely done! Enjoyed every second, just as they will
That amazing feeling when they use the thing you've made them :) Your smile said it all. I'm jealous of all your tools! Would love to make something like this. 10/10 Best Cat Dad!
Excellent idea for the kitties. Great job.
Kind and Clever! 👏😻
Lucky kitties. 😻😻😻😻
This is wonderful! You did an amazing job!! Love how Mickey was supervising. He immediately started kneading the perch, it's kitty approved!
leave it to a tuxedo to be right there watching every move.....love them.
Thank you ❤
Wonderful project! My fur babies would love something like this. I have an injured cat that will never be able to roam freely outside again so she’s confined to being a full time house cat. If I could only afford one for them. You’re such a wonderful cat dad❤!
Cats and wood work, my future dream!
I love every single thing about this catio! If I'm ever lucky enough to have a house or even just a condo with a balcony, I'm gonna have someone make one of these for my cats!
Your two adorable clients are clearly delighted with their new playroom additions! Love seeing them enjoying it, and I always enjoy watching your new projects..
A really fun project which will keep your cats very happy
I love this they’re still safe and they’re outside the best of both worlds
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!
Wonderful project, goodness they are two lucky kitties. Really like what you’ve done for them. Stay safe x
Mickie loves his Dreamies 🐈⬛
Using the other board as a spacer is brilliant. I wouldn't have done that. I would have measured and marked and hoped I kept it straight. Just such a simple and clever solution.
They are lovely kitties. Mickey is a very special boy. Tuxedos are the best cats! He looks so much like my Tuxedo boy that I miss terribly 😢 Wonder ful build and video. 👍👍👍
Great job. It's amazing what we'll do to accommodate our pets. They really are members of our family.
Micky is living his best life! 😎
We love, love, love what you've done with the catio. I'm inspired by the use of plexiglass too, humm. Thank you for sharing your creativity and excellent work!
Mickey is the chillest cutest cat I wanna squeeze hiiiiim
Fantastic project! The penthouse is my favourite bit.
Just the wholesome video I needed to start my day 😊
What an amazing cat dad!!!
Absolutely brilliant, looks like a super fun project as well.
Loved this Keith. I love how Mickey was gazing at you adoringly whilst you were painting his deck. Very sweet. Ingenious use of lots of scrap wood! 👌🏼
I love rewatching this because you did such an incredible job. If you ever need content, you can just let us watch your cats entering in the morning and lounging happily. Really awesome shelves, etc. 😊 💛
Thank you so much!
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 ! 😉😅
I had a gray tabby cat named Micky probably 20 yrs ago. I loved that cat
Aww Mickie’s such a lovely boy!
Just found your channel today!! Love the catio!! You did a great job. Happy Mickey has Hazel and they are not alone. I'm looking forward to more videos of Mickey and Hazel, and of course more of your creativity. ❤
The Tux looks just like my cat, what a good job you did looks really nice.
Just brilliant, the perspex floor is inspired. Cats are funny when you deploy Dreamies to try and get them to do things.
This video gave my heart a squeeze. Thank you! 🇨🇦
What a great project. I really loved watching this and your interaction with your two lovely cats. Well done!
Your cats have got their human slave really well trained!
Mickie loves his new shelf 😁
I was waiting for Mickey to start helping dad do some painting there. Great work mate 👍🇦🇺
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.
I love cats ❤
Very comforting to see u caring for these kitties. All the kitties need people like u. Pls dont stop😊😊😊
I wish I could do this, I love cats, and its so much fun to watch them play in this area.
What a cracking build Keith and a name as well 'the Catio' love it and some good ideas there as well as we have an indoor cat, but she spends her time asleep or pinching places on the settee where we have been sitting because it's warm. We could get up to go to the kitchen come back and find Fluffy has pinched the seat, so we have to either move over or a new seat. Thanks again for the ideas. Barry (the Wirral)
Such a kind man
Fella, I can see you loved doing that. Top man 🐾🐾🐾🐾 👍
Well done Keith, a brilliant project. I watch a lot of youtube channels but yours is always the one that makes me smile, you are never afraid to modify as you go and learn each time you complete a project, you're a true DIY'er, without the ego, thank you for your efforts and keep up the brilliant videos.
Thank you!
Your cats are adorable....ive just adopted a male almost identical to mikey..beautiful and good job with the catio...thay lookvery happy ....
Great job, and for a great reason. They don’t know how lucky they are, of course, not that they’d care!
What a beautiful space for your kitties. ❤. I have a cat sanctuary in my home. I’ve built them a catio when I first bought my house 2 years ago. I want to expand on it. 😊
Awwwww this is so cute, they are so spoil and love
Tres beau. Ce qui est important c est qu il y ait du soleil.
Cuteness meter cranked up to the max!
Looks great Keith and Mickie and Hazel certainly seemed to like it. Fab video.
Love it and it’s big enough you can spend time out there with them. I would love one
What a brilliant idea for your cats. I bet they love it.❤❤❤🎉🎉😊😊
That’s a very nice and roomy catio for your cats. You’re very handy unlike my hubby. I had my brother build a catio for my 3 cats half that size and they absolutely enjoy hanging outside.
This is so good for the soul Keith.
What a great video, very cool Mickey and Hazel the stars of the show.
Brilliant! A patio table and chairs would be really nice in there too.
Mickey and Hazel are very Lucky cats, this is amazing! Looks good too. Well done.
Keith! This video brought me so much joy! Definitely giggled seeing Mickie’s toe beans through the bottom of the kitty penthouse. What a brilliant idea. Give your sweet fur babies extra pets for me. ❤
Wow! You must have very happy cats!
Your cat is very cute.
Thank you! 😊
You are a really skilled carpenter. That little cat haven is lovely!
Maybe install a couple of scratching posts and a rope covered pole for them to climb??
Wow what an amazing environment for Mickey. Nicely done!
Great job Keith, lucky cats! 🐈 I have installed a cat flap through an exterior wall for a client. It's not too difficult - you get tunnel extender pieces to fill the void with so it's a neat install
