That is so cool! You should make a cat tree. Show us some foot beans!
Thank you so much! I will work on one 😍
go to home depot and buy a basic carpet roll, wood planks (size determined on how large you want to make landing pads etc), a bunch of 1x2 wood "strips" (enough to add 4 of them inside each footer tube), 1/2 inch or thicker plywood, rope/twine (same as in this video), PVC pipes (same as in this video), a bunch of metal L brackets, and cement footer tubes (diameter depends on how "thick" you want the "trunks" of the playscape/tree). Home depot also sells perfectly cut and beveled circles of wood of various sizes (located in wood section) the same wood circles he uses in this video (kzhead.info/sun/pNaReJiaoJV-l2w/bejne.html). cut the footer tubes to desired height, cut the plywood as desired for a sturdy base so the entire playscape doesn't tip over (SO A PRETTY LARGE BASE). use the 1x2 wood and screw inside the tubes (cut the length so it's the exact height as the footer tubes so the landings have something to attach to). There should be 4 pieces of the 1x2's inside the footer tubes (top, bottom, left and right) evenly spaced inside the tubes. arrange as desired. glue and staple gun carpet as desired (if using staples arrange them where the cat wont likely scratch to prevent injury), same with rope (mostly just rope the PVC pipe to cut on cost). Mount the footers to the plywood base with heavy duty L brackets (attaching them to the aforementioned 1x2 wood screwed inside the footer tubes) and hide the brackets under the carpet by cutting an X into the carpet, screw into the plywood, then glue the carpet back over the exposed bracket. Attach the landings by either screwing directly down into the 1x2's or using the L brackets... I'm sure you can figure it out once you have all the materials.
I love that Belle was just chilling in that bowl like nothing was going on.
She’s a real princess😻😻😻
Belle seems so relaxed. What a great life😃
The life of a cat :)
Thank you for showing what went wrong, explaining why it happened and how to fix it!! I cant wait to make one of these for my 2 kitties! Love the videos!
Hi Rachel! Thanks for taking the time to comment and give feedback on this, and the other video :) Let me know if you have any questions as you build it!

Belle is quite the model. Love the video, you have spoiled kitties. Lol
She really is 😻. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :)
❤lol shes just chilling while u put her close to the wall as demenstration lol ❤❤❤❤ so cute
I was so sad that nobody commented about that in the past! I agree it was so cute🥰 thanks for noticing!!!
🤣 Belle in the bowl makes my day. Fantastic, I have seen one of these in a catio, I will save his video for future reference.
Very nice! The place by the window was so perfect!
She used to sit on that ledge, so it made perfect sense :) Thanks for the comment!
I very much enjoy how straightforward and affordable your cat perches/hammocks are. I would love to see some more DIY indoor cat projects… I have a very rambunctious cat I need to try and keep busy who desperately wants to be an outdoor cat… usually around 4 am. We will soon be moving into a new home that has a quite large open floor plan main living space that has a lot of room for a cat condo and/or wall gym and would love to see some ideas, particularly ones that hide and/or minimize permanent holes etc. in walls as it’s a rental. I’m able to, and will be able to, make small repairs to drywall but anything too big or obvious will likely not be appreciated by the owner. Something similar to hanging artwork or freestanding catios/play houses would be wonderful to see. Your plant shelves are first on my build list since I can do them before I move in and I’m looking forward to springtime when I can build your garden boxes. I brought along several of my raspberry and goji berry shoots and look forward to doing some transplanting :)
Yay!! I’m so happy you find my content useful!! I appreciate the suggestions! Please reach out with any questions!!
@kristinoliviah have you heard of Jackson Galaxy, better known as "The Cat Daddy"? You can find him here on KZhead. I suggest looking through his video's as I remember he made a video about ways to get your cat to sleep through the night. He channel is very informative one EVERYTHING cat. ☺ Good Luck with your new place

Brilliant xx. Uk 🇬🇧 xx

@@aaronfixesstuff ❤️❤️
Belle, you sure are beautiful! Great job keeping your hoomans in line. 😻😽 Love this idea! Definitely going to borrow my dads tools and give it a try. Thanks so much for sharing!
She is beautiful huh! We also have a new kitten, but she’s not on this video. She made an appearance on my newest video. Good for you for making this and please reach out with any questions 😻😻😻
@@aaronfixesstuff I saw her being such a big helper by showing you what wires to use in the outlet. She looks very similar to my Grayson. So cute! I think she deserves a raise. My dad laughed when I told him I was building this so now I have to prove him wrong. I’m sure I’ll be back with questions. 😹
@@hj471230 yes!!! She was so helpful!! Yeah I’d be so happy if you prove him wrong!!!
Belle looks like my Harley Davidson. Love calicos!
I love that!!
oh wow so usefull!
Thanks!! I stride to have as many subscribers as you one day!
Loved the video, would love to try it! I am renting my place though, so i can't drill holes into the wall, any idea to still mount them without drill holes?
Nice videos man, I enjoy watching. A wood working tip would be to “pass through” drill the surface board (board the screw goes into first) and “pilot” drill the mating item (in your case the 2x4). This prevents the surface board from splitting and get a good secured mate of both items. 🤙
I love comments that give good feedback! I appreciate the tip!
@@aaronfixesstuffhow did you make the router thingy? 😁
I hope Home Depot starts giving you a discount since you are giving them free advertising in this video. 😂🤣
I wish!! And I am basically sponsoring Milwaukee tools as well!
Kinda want to do this for my cats, but they might break it as they love to sit on each other haha ! I would need to make it extra strong.
My princess is named Belle too.
I love that!!!
Thanks for the video! Any idea how much weight that can hold? My cat is a choooonk.
Thank you so much for teaching me how to make this. I do have a question, where can I get my husband that Milwaukee vacuum?
Glad to help! They sell that vacuum at Home Depot :)
can u make a step by step cat tree w leaves and branches pls
I can’t find to buy a bowl from Amazon, can you share the link please from where you buy Thank you for you idea
Would a maine Coon fit ? Lol I really want to make one!
bonjour, ou se procurer le bol merci
AARON I HAVE TO KNOW! How did you make the jig for this project?
I can make a video about it. It’s pretty simple to make!
@@aaronfixesstuff I would be so great full if you did. I like the idea of the nail and sting but I can NOT follow a line with a jigsaw. I don't know what it is .... I even bought a new saw with new blades ... it helped some. LOL Great project by the way, My cats are going to love this when I build one.
a old washing machine viewing glas also might work :) some how
It sure can. But that’s glass and can be a disaster if it breaks.
Did you drill a hole before you put the screws in so the wood doesn't split
I don’t remember if I did honestly. But I would recommend pre drilling for sure!
Where can I get those twelve inch bowls
Amazon :)
שמישהו יאהב אותי כמו שאלקסיס ואהרון אוהבים את בל ומאיה:)
Me!!!
How did you make the router thingy?
I’ll make a video on it sometime soon. If you are subscribed to me, you will get a notification when it’s uploaded:)
Did I miss the dimensions of the block (2x4)? TY
So you don't screw the dome down into the wood?
You can if you want to. I just used double sided tape.
@@aaronfixesstuff Awesome! Thanks!
Is the bowl glass?
It is not. I have a link to it in the description box.
Can you make a #diyCatio our of #Ikea Hejne?
How many pound is Belle? My cat is 16 pounds and I was wondering if 12” will be comfortable enough for him. Thanks.
Belle is 10. It might be a bit tight with that size, but you can always go up one size on the bowl.
More diy catification videos please. I’d love to see a cat bridge. They are $250+ on Wayfair. Check out Jackson Galaxy the KZheadr. He talks about different ways to catify your house but he doesn’t give you diy ideas.
Link to bubble?
In the description box there is a list to all materials used.
Can u just cut mine and I will buy it from you???
Are you in CO? I can definitely do that.
why wouldn't you carpet the wood? cats n carpet go together like america and twerking videos
One of the many things I have learned in life is that no matter what you do, you will not please everyone.
@@aaronfixesstuff especially that cat lol!
@@wearechangecthartford so true!
Wow that's a $50 bowl? Lol
Buying a pre made one is much more than that 🤓. I’m sure this isn’t in everyone’s budget. Also keep in mind that I just made the video, I have nothing to do with the cost of the bowl, nor do I get any kickbacks for sales.
