I appreciate so much the absolute love that you and Christian have to Midna and Kiki. They are so loved and cared for by you both and that's so heartwarming and refreshing to see. Great job, y'all.
You could potentially get one of those waterproof outdoor chair cushions that is made to tie to a chair, and then tie it to one of the ledges. I have one that is foam that I picked up at Walmart for like $7. It’s nice and dense, so you wouldn’t have to worry about it sliding around, but it would still offer comfort and support.
Yesss! I made my apartment patio an enclosed Carol (made a pvc frame and got cat netting attached to it omg) if you wanna avoid getting bugs inside, through the open window, since it has to be open for them, you can put the window screen back in and cut a rectangle hole in it and they sell cat flaps for screen doors that you could use on there! I did that for my screen door so bugs don’t come thru the sliding door
My mom and I have patio furniture with special cushions made to be outside in all kinds of weather…. Maybe look into cushions for outdoor furniture for the catio?
Part of the reason we moved into the house we did is because we had a screened in patio area that we can let the cats out on. It’s such a nice way to let them be outside!
Hi Baylee, you’ve probably already seen Angela Jasmine’s vlog with regards to buying her embroidery thread from another company, I think it’s called candles, $5.50 per roll, free shipping if you spend over $150, I’m not sure if the shipping is free to Canada? I believe she said the thread was 15,000 meters? Sorry if you already have checked this, but I thought I’d mention it anyway x 😊
Can you please put the link you bought the catio from if it was ordered online somewhere ? I’d love to buy one or something similar for my kitties someday.
There are some reusable lint rollers you can get. I have one and I feel like it works better in little fuzz pieces than lint rollers with the papers. Plus you can just rinse them off to clean them. Also someone mentioned it in another comment but an outdoor pillow or cushion might work for the catio!
15:30 😅 Also, A couple building stuff together without getting agitated? 😮 😂 It’s a gorgeous catio, sadly my cat is terrified of the great outdoors, but I’d be so nice in my garden.
You guys are great parents ❤ Kiki & Mida love you too pieces. During winter I would tarp the cattio. How’s Christian liking working for/with you. That should be a vlog! ❤❤
A previous job ordered Bella & canvas zipups with their branding and they were AMAZING. Hate the place now but still wear the damn sweatshirt because it's just so comfy lol
Baylee!!!! I think I just solved your problem. I saw a video of someone using a paint roller to paint the chicken wire black. Just don’t goop it or it’ll sling everywhere. But, it should be possible to keep your bricks clean!!! ❤❤❤
I would sssuper LOVE if the apple blossom design test embroidery on light blue was for sale! Or a similar design was a fall option. I personally love that one so much! 💙💚 Also, great catio! 👍
You could consider using sponges to paint on the wire thing. If you just dab the sponge against it the paint may not splatter everywhere, still I would just have some paper taped to the wood behind it (not touching the wire) just to be sure the cats won't be rubbing against it while it is still not fully dry. Make a test on a small area to test and see if it is a good idea.
Just an idea but you could take off the wood paneling from on the inside that is affixed to the house and shore up the size of the catio so that they don't get out also it would allow you to paint some sort of mural for them out there for something colorful and pretty to look at I don't know what do you think?
You can get weather proofing clear paint from Home Depot or a hardware store that would definitely help the wood last longer. Also could you fashion some type of cover in the winter to keep snow and ice off the wood? Not sure if you are in an HOA that might have rules against what you could have.
Yeah, I'll likely try covering it. Tarps are allowed. We do technically have an HOA, but not in the traditional sense. There are no neighbourhood rules. They just charge $60 annually to pay for neighborhood activities & upkeep.
I can’t be the only one that just lets our cats anywhere like they just wonder and they come back when they want (Our cats are spade) but this is a cute idea if you can’t do that ❤
the catio is nothing at all like i imagined because i guess i imagined a regular patio but with bug nets, somewhere you can sit too along with the cats
i've been watching your videos since 2020, but the halloween launch might be the first time im actually ordering. (didn't due so sinc eim from the netherlands and it involves import etc)
Totally unsolicited internet advice, but if you give your cats a monthly flea medicine, see if it covers heartworm disease as well. I foster cats and work with a rescue that just had a cat go through treatment for heartworms, and we believe she was infected by mosquitos when out on her foster mom's catio. We are in the south US and there's a shit ton of mosquitos here, so that might not be too relevant to CA, but just in case that's something y'all could see as well!
I don't mind the background noises. I find them nuve. Makes you both human... 😂 Beautiful catio. Perhaps on a gew years when it's not good anymore, just close the whole terras... put some screens en you have a homemade catio witch you can sit down and have a drink with the kitties...❤
A part of me wonders if it would have been worth it to add a few wood planks to the bottom planter side of the catio. Just to address the sloping patio.
I know you just built the catio and the day this is out is already days long past but it's going to suck hearing this. You should really remove it from the house, remove the screws, and get some outdoor caulk to put in the holes with the screws. Moisture could seep into the screw holes and may cause things like mold, rot, or the stucco to peel off. That or just caulk around the edges of the wood. Best to be safe the sorry, you know?
i saw somewhere if you paint chicken wire black it's nicer to look through, but awesome project, I have large dogs (lurchers) so don't really need anything like this.
This is the moment we have all been waiting for! 😂😂😂
I wanted to post this comment🤣🤣genius
Love midna being the star of the video 🥹😭
Yeah, finally she had her screen time, Kiki is always the star of the channel. We stan Qween Midna!
You should bring back the Kiki and Midna pin to go along with the Halloween sweatshirt! That would be amazing!
Omg yes
I’m sure she said she was doing stickers but the pins would be great too!
AGREED!
You could get a cushion made for outdoor furniture for the catio
I appreciate so much the absolute love that you and Christian have to Midna and Kiki. They are so loved and cared for by you both and that's so heartwarming and refreshing to see. Great job, y'all.
I'm calling it now 😂 at some point the catio is gonna end up getting painted pink or green 😂😂😂😂💚💚💚💚

18:59 Chi's most proudest moment of being a father. You guys are such wonderful cat parents
I reeeally like that pigment dye black for the Kiki and Midna design!! And seeing Midna so happy in her catio made me so happy. 😭
You guys are so good at this stuff. If I put a panel on backwards I'd be like 'well that's that then, it's ruined' 🤣
I love what good kitty parents you two are! Every beebee deserves such love 😊

In my next life, I want to come back as one of Baylee's cats!
Such spoiled kitties!! If we had the space, I would definitely get one for our bebes!!
Baylee yes! Catio time. 🩷
That catio looks wonderful!
I look forward to all the future Kiki and Midna catio moments.
My mom and I have patio furniture with special cushions made to be outside in all kinds of weather…. Maybe look into cushions for outdoor furniture for the catio?
yaaaaaaay finally they can play in the catio!! ❤ also i'd love a zip up!!! can't wait!!
Aww! I love the catio ❤purrfect for the kitties!
We need more bay & ch videos! I just love watching you work together, it’s so much fun 😂 And his voice is just so soothing for some reason!
You should do Kiki and midna seasonal designs since you already have a fall theme one with the pumpkin
Such cozy vibes ❤
OMG I SCREECHED when I saw the Kiki and Midna design! I love it!
I love how the bebe was at the window, meowing like "mom you done yet?" 😂
I'd love to see tank tops eventually! Some of your cute art for summer would be perfect!
I love this art! It's such a cottage core haberdashery ❤
Gemini rights makes a comeback in the soundtrack!
patio furniture cushions for the inside and possibly paint the chicken wire black so more visibility?
I really NEED a luna moth black hoodie. ( ❤.❤)
Part of the reason we moved into the house we did is because we had a screened in patio area that we can let the cats out on. It’s such a nice way to let them be outside!
Kiki Midna Halloween on off black! The way I GASPED!! I’ll definitely be getting that. ☺️
Love how it turned out!

you could varathane the outside to help keep it more weatherproof
Girl I love your pants!
15:30 😅
Also, A couple building stuff together without getting agitated? 😮 😂
It’s a gorgeous catio, sadly my cat is terrified of the great outdoors, but I’d be so nice in my garden.
Yay catio!
It's so cute!
Love the catio so cool 😊
The wizards of waverly place music 26:25 yesssss
Yeeeeeeessssss, a cat playground 🎉🎉🎊🎊🎊🎊
I think a dark gray shirt would be good for Halloween in addition to a color option.
Thanks! Great vlog as they all are! ❤
I def thought you’d bring this inside over winter.
No space for it. And we'd have to unscrew it from the house each time.
You guys are great parents ❤ Kiki & Mida love you too pieces. During winter I would tarp the cattio. How’s Christian liking working for/with you. That should be a vlog! ❤❤
Finally. The day has arrived. *Catio*
hose lil meows in the beginning of her discovering
For the kiki Halloween artwork.... use the clay colored shirts... it would kinda match the sketch books
You can paint the mesh black and it will be less visible and looks more transparent
If you want more variants for crew neck, b&c king is nice.
aww lovely for the babies so Kool💖
A previous job ordered Bella & canvas zipups with their branding and they were AMAZING. Hate the place now but still wear the damn sweatshirt because it's just so comfy lol
I can already tell that mousie art is going to make a great jigsaw!
Baylee!!!! I think I just solved your problem. I saw a video of someone using a paint roller to paint the chicken wire black. Just don’t goop it or it’ll sling everywhere. But, it should be possible to keep your bricks clean!!! ❤❤❤
We just built our catio too! Same thing, was going to build it from scratch and then bought one instead
Suggestion: Do witch hat on black and midna/kiki on the clay.
This is so cute❤❤
Yay love your videos. Thank you for beeing you. You are my inspiration ❤
Yayyyt I've been waiting for the cattio 🥳🥳
It might be good to put a square of cloth over the opening to the catio just for bugs and temperature. The cats will figure it out. :)
I would sssuper LOVE if the apple blossom design test embroidery on light blue was for sale! Or a similar design was a fall option. I personally love that one so much! 💙💚 Also, great catio! 👍
I’ve been waiting for this. 😂🤪

I like the sponge idea!
I have literally been waiting for this 😆
Clicked thumbs up before even watching 😂❤
You should totally get some catnip plants and cat grass to go in the catio!
Catio! Finally! The cat gods have smiled upon you.
Could you have screened in the whole patio with tough tear/scratch resistent screening?
Yes, if I framed the whole area and put in a double doors. That would be a BIG project.
@BayleeJae Could be a future project😺.
Just an idea but you could take off the wood paneling from on the inside that is affixed to the house and shore up the size of the catio so that they don't get out also it would allow you to paint some sort of mural for them out there for something colorful and pretty to look at I don't know what do you think?
You could paint the mesh black which should make it look see through

Came back to say maybe thick clear plastic for winter time when the catio wouldn't be in use to protect it.
Yeah, I'll likely try covering it. Tarps are allowed. We do technically have an HOA, but not in the traditional sense. There are no neighbourhood rules. They just charge $60 annually to pay for neighborhood activities & upkeep.
Midna sneaking out the door 😂.
The catio building and music reminds me of Stardew for some reason lol
I can’t be the only one that just lets our cats anywhere like they just wonder and they come back when they want (Our cats are spade) but this is a cute idea if you can’t do that ❤
Your not the only one I’m a firm believer on cats wondering not being locked up in the house it just seems unfair to them ya know
the catio is nothing at all like i imagined because i guess i imagined a regular patio but with bug nets, somewhere you can sit too along with the cats
YAY! Now cat beds and scratcihng posts and a pad of fake grass or even some sod so they can have real grass.
My cat Eevee got so excited when Christian said "Good girl" she thought he was talking to her.
I’ve been waiting for this!!! Lolol 😂❤
Whenever somebody says gnarly, I always think of Gnarls Barkley 😂😂
That gray black was cute, but I might just think that cause it seems like the less hot choice, way too hot where i am in October sadly.
FINALLY!! 😮😮
PREPARING THE CATIO! (said in the same way as the "preparing the krabby patty" guy from that one spongebob episode did)
i've been watching your videos since 2020, but the halloween launch might be the first time im actually ordering. (didn't due so sinc eim from the netherlands and it involves import etc)
if you paint the chicken wire black itll be way easier for kitties to see thru
Totally unsolicited internet advice, but if you give your cats a monthly flea medicine, see if it covers heartworm disease as well. I foster cats and work with a rescue that just had a cat go through treatment for heartworms, and we believe she was infected by mosquitos when out on her foster mom's catio. We are in the south US and there's a shit ton of mosquitos here, so that might not be too relevant to CA, but just in case that's something y'all could see as well!
I would seal the crack, just to keep buggies from coming in there.
Oh nice! Now Niffler wants one. 😂😅😊
I don't mind the background noises. I find them nuve. Makes you both human... 😂
Beautiful catio. Perhaps on a gew years when it's not good anymore, just close the whole terras... put some screens en you have a homemade catio witch you can sit down and have a drink with the kitties...❤
A part of me wonders if it would have been worth it to add a few wood planks to the bottom planter side of the catio. Just to address the sloping patio.
I want a slight slope for water runoff.
the random ï fully ripped my nail in half"
He ripped his toe nail 🤢
I clicked on this so fast lol. But also why would they put step 1 in box 2?!🤦🏽♀️
I know you just built the catio and the day this is out is already days long past but it's going to suck hearing this. You should really remove it from the house, remove the screws, and get some outdoor caulk to put in the holes with the screws. Moisture could seep into the screw holes and may cause things like mold, rot, or the stucco to peel off. That or just caulk around the edges of the wood. Best to be safe the sorry, you know?
Bigger! BIGGER! *B I G G E R !*
❤
i saw somewhere if you paint chicken wire black it's nicer to look through, but awesome project, I have large dogs (lurchers) so don't really need anything like this.
Can you not paint the catio with weather resistant wood paint like you get for garden fences, some claim to make the wood last up to 25 years
Catios aren't spose to smell like sigrits they're spose to smell like kitties!
🎶🎶🎶🎶
I like the art but it looks like the scissors are cutting into the table.
I noticed that too 😅 I'll fix it!
