I know free-roaming outdoor cats are a major point of contention, especially in the UK, so I really do applaud the effort you've put in to make sure your cats can enjoy fresh air safely. I really wish more people would treat their cats like family members the way you do, and keep their safety and happiness both in mind as opposed to letting them run off and do damage to themselves and the environment. The catio looks awesome and I'm sure Ralph will grow to love it as much as Bella already does!
Honestly I'm too lazy to read all of this but just from your first sentence I agree with what you say and acknowledge the time and effort of writing such a long script even though it must have been very tedious and time consuming to do.
I let my cat go outside during the day but keep him in at nights. I'd never have an only-indoor cat, I strongly believe cats are much happier and healthier being able to enjoy the outside. I also believe very much in safety, so I very consciously chose a place to live where there are no road, no cars, plenty of shrubs and no dangerous predators around. I live on the outskirts of a bigger town, and I chose this place for my cat as well as myself. If you are serious about owning a cat, you'll need to live accordingly to that. Take responsibility and let your cat enjoy safe surroundings. The fact that he comes whenever I call for him means he's happy and content with me and the life we live together. He sleeps in my bed every night.
I just watched my dad pull out with one of my cats in its box on the way to the hospital for an emergency visit and seeing this notification made me smile. Bella and Ralph are so cute. Good luck TJ, please come home xx
I hope your cat is okay and here is a hug from me in hopes of making the waiting a little tiny bit easier. Sorry that your buddy is having health issues, I know hoe nerve-wracking that is. HUG!!!
You seem somewhat concerned with boring viewers, but I personally wouldn't have minded watching another video of you building a catio from scratch! Love your content :)
Since I am pretty sure this is his job, view retention is important, since if the view retention is low, then youtube will push the video less, but I also would have loved to see it being built!
Nice cateo! I'd recommend you add some surfacing material to the wood platforms to provide grip. Same for the ramps... way more useful than those plastic climbing handholds that animals will avoid walking on. I'd suggest using something somewhat thick-ish so the cats can sink their claws in if necessary... so outdoor carpeting, synthetic turf, perhaps even cork or rubber (though rubber might get hot). This would be especially important for the high up sleeping platform. Say if the cat rolls off the edge or takes a misstep in the wet. They'll be able to sink their claws into the platform to avoid falling. I'd also recommend adding a small 2-inch lip to the upper sleeping shelf. It'll just provide an additional level of security while sleeping... like if rollover or stretch/spread-out while half asleep.
Oh the sail as a roof is actually rather cute! Gives it a bright, warm camping vibe 🤗 The catio is also so pretty! The green plants on the dark wood and mesh are just so aesthetically pleasing.
I have an elderly kitty with only three legs. As she has gotten older I have made changes to her cat perches. 1) Make steps deeper and closer together and add carpet or gripper strips. This makes the kitties feel safer and easier for them to maneuver especially as they get older. On a slooping board add small strips of wood every couple of inches. 2) On the boards used as walkways, make them wider/deeper. Also add some gripper strips. 3) Make the perches bigger so both cats can lay on them. Put on edge on the perch, 4inch or so, for them to lean against. Not where the walkway comes into it, and does not have to be on the whole perch. Again will make them feel safe. 4) What humans think is cool and what cats think is cool are two different things. Cats don't like swinging things, except toys. My two cents. You have lucky cats that you can make them a cataco. And yes, they need a roof 😊
Remember watching this so much during the pandemic and actually since 2018... I forgot about you guys (sorry!) I'm very glad to know that Bella, Ralph and our babies in heaven are well ❤
Watching you build things for Ralph and Bella is my absolute favorite part of your channel. I would watch this video if it were 4x as long! I hope we get lots of updates 😁😁
I love it! I think Ralph will really grow into the catio once its complete but for now I'm just happy that their happy and safe! Thank you so much for posting you just made my night!
Once I own a house I will totally build a catio for my cats as well! It looks really nice! They are lucky to have such a good catdad. Looking forward to your biggest video :)
I have loved your videos ever since the young age of 7-8 now im 13, and im a huge fan, ive been a fan since the Golden Gate Bridge video, the arrival of the kittens, the case of the disappearing ralph the early departure of tom, the cat castle, the old cattio, and now were here, what an amazing journey, fly high little furballs, and keep up the good work, thanks for shaping my childhood -rylee
Your videos always make me smile and get relaxed. the calmness and chill music and video of your videos always gets me in a good mood :), thank you❤love your videos Chris ❤❤
I love this. My cats have a screened in porch which they love, but it isn't as innovative as this catio. I noticed Bella is back in her doughnut, I hope she is ok and that Ralph is feeling better soon.
i have been looking for this channel for 2 years. i lost it when i was 9-10 ish and forget about it but a year later i just was thinking aboy when i would always watch him and get in trouble for being on my tablet so much, and today i rememberef when he made hes catio and i found him! im so happy i did and im turning 13 years old soon anf i think its really nice that i found one of my old favorite catlovers, but im so happy i found you! ( me and bella share a nameeee heh)
reminds me of my Bengal cats. Stormy and Misty they are my favourite little senior cats! They Both Are light weight Mistys A Snow Bengal And Stormy Is An Marble Bengal! They are Twins From The Same Family They were born on the same date as eachother! They've Lived a long life Together! Stormy And Misty! Today there is only one of them but Misty Is Always Here With Her Sister and all of us she is watching!
More cat videos please😡🐈!!!!!! Or at least videos😢 but you most likely do this everyday, u just put so much time into it so I am not angry😊Good luck if u see this I love your videos btw❤
For the roofing solution, you should put a clear glass/plastic sheet or whatever over top. It would allow Ralph and Bella to see all the nature, let light in, and give a really cool effect when it rains. Just a suggestion though.
My nana and papa used these clear type of roof things, similar to the things you used on the old catio. Maybe see if they have some of those? Granted, you're in the UK so it might be harder and the roof things nana and papa used are plastic, but it might keep the look without ruining the wood.
Such a great TH-camr, which such great stories to tell about his real life, and legos. I know they are definitely going to enjoy that catio, LOL 😂. Continue the great work on developing these outstanding videos, and happy thanksgiving.
My son Avery (hence the name of his channel) absolutely ADORES your videos, and so do his dad and I! Thanks for sharing your journey with the world. You're incredibly creative and fun to watch and an awesome cat dad!! Keep it up.
He's a british cat dad! I wish i could do this for my cat but i don't own the house, cat, nor do i have the job to pay for any of that stuff as I'm only a senior in highschool
For the rain I wanted to suggest a big metal thing over the top like in the first catio but then again the sun is needed, but the walls of the catio will still give off sunlight, for the tree branches get a thing people use to trim trees (if that even exists) to make it more like a cylinder or just a long circle.

Agree. The steps and platforms look too slick. Maybe use something like reclaimed barn wood for more grip.
Finish that last sentence off with a “…, Chris.”

The dedication this guy has for cats. Most people only build treehouse's for themselves, or their kids. Not their cats xD
And i love him for it!
We are so happy to see Ralph and Bella enjoying the great outdoors!
It's amazing how much time you put into building things for your cats
YESSS MORE RALPH AND BELLA! :D
ralph and bella ae^re soooo cute
It came out great! Tunnels would be an awesome addition sometime, too =)
Idea for the roof: a material that’s clear so the cats can still look above the catio! Like a clear plastic or something.
I love rewatching your old videos and your content is so cute and wholesome 😊
