Loved it! Could never figure out how to do the half curve shelves without ugly seams on the outsides like the store bought ones show. But you did yours in a unique way attached carpet from outside into the curve, then putting a patch of different style in the center. Love this because you can attach it to the tree with screws and then put the center carpet piece in covering that! Great idea and so easy!!! Loved your cat involved in it all :)
The most impressive thing about this video for me, aside from the obvious skills on display, is that it was very inexpensive to build. No major power tools were used for the build, therefore making it a far more accessible project for folks on a tight budget.
You’re an Excellent Teacher! You keep to the point, don’t talk about personal stuff and you keep it simple. Outstanding! Everything is done in Perfection! Best video on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing!
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!i have wanted one of these for 30 years!!But even a little one is so expensive!!! Hopefully I'll show my sweetie this video n he will whip me one up:) thank you so much!!! You rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that's a cat tree fit for a Ragdoll! I've been looking for a suitable cat tree for my boy, who at ten months is already closing in on ten pounds. I hate to buy something that he is going to outgrow in a year. I'm thinking that it might be more economical to build my own, and your video makes me think that I'm not crazy to believe I can do this myself. Thank you, and by the way, your cats are gorgeous.
Anyone who loves his cats this much is A-OK with me. I had fun watching this video, and I bet he had fun doing this project, but after watching, I feel like I've done a full days work! Phew.
My daughter need something like this badly for her 7 cats. I think I can help contribute cat's nesting beds once they are moved into their new home. Thank you for taking the time on this video.
The best thing is that I donated 2 Six foot trees, plus the How to build a recycled tree to the www.petnetwork.org/cat-room Check them out. P.s. My cats did get to keep one tree.
NICE video! If editing video is easy (?), add a photo of the fished product at the intro so what you're doing is a smidge more understandable. Lovely job though, and great instructions, and cat supervisors!
EXCELLENT WORK! This was a true labor of love!! Thanks for the incredibly great inspiration and all the great tips and tricks. You are a true cat enthusiast! I'm building a catio for my boys and your video has given me all the information I need to put some climbing trees with platforms, ramps, cubby-holes, and rope-clad poles to stretch, scratch, and climb! Liked, commented, shared, and subbed!!
Thank You. I wish my boys had a catio in the garden. A quick hint on rope. I no longer use Sisal or Manila rope. I have found that Cotton rope will last 3 times longer and NOT make a mess.
you can do whatever you set your mind to you don't have to use all the expensive stuff you can find wood on the road of things at flea market take them apart and use imagination :) but at least try
Thanks Toby I agree, You can make something cool for your cat out of recycled materials. One place that I look for free carpet is a Hotel or a timeshare property, they use high quality carpet and renew often.
CatsOnTV Some of us have 8 cats and can't even build a birdhouse... A blind one, 2 one-eyed babies, 2 Maine Coon mixes, 2 blue mixes- 19 and 21 lbs. I had to euthanize my oldest girl last Saturday. BeeBee was a beautiful dilute calico with blue eyes, she was 13. At noon she was fine, 1:30-2:00 I was rushing her to a vet 40 minutes away because we have no vets in our town that work on the weekends. She had a Saddle Thrombosis, a blood clot that lodges in the spine before the hind legs and causes much pain and paralysis. It can happen to any age cat any time and the prognosis is not good. Anyway, I apologize, I'm obviously not over this yet. I have saved a lot of broken cats and a lot of DIY videos for cat enrichment ideas. But I am no carpenter, handy-person(?), contractor..... I seriously can't even build a birdhouse and I don't have the money to pay someone else to build things or buy cat trees professionally. Though eBay and chewy.com don't have the worst prices, but you get what you pay for. I've foolishly started collecting things that would make a great cat tree, I think... Another place to find cheap materials, seriously you never know what interesting stuff you'll find there...and very cheap prices, is the Restore! If you have a Habitat for Humanity in your area, you may have a Restore, check it out! Well, happy building, (to those who can!)!
yruly incredible purrformance! your cattitude while making this vidoe has me positively meowing meow meow amazing very good work ! i am making the same exact one right now with thesame tool.s....i watched the video over five hundred times to make it exact....thank you so mich
Thank u... U remind me so much of my dad. Unfortunately he's not around anymore, but thanks to you I will be able to do something for my cat :) I really didn't even know how to screw anything. So I really learned from this video. Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!!!
That's so awesome, thanks! Most videos I have seen use all high powered equipment (i.e saws), which scare the hell out of me. This video is done so, that even I feel like I could certainly do this. Thank you, I'm not worried to attempt it. Super cool cat trees, love the scratch post!
Hello there! I just wanted to say thank you for your excellent cat tree video's. You inspired me and showed me the how to and what materials I needed to build a cat tree for my kitties. I did it and they love it! Once again, I just wanted to say thank you.
😃 Thank you for a great video! I had to laugh when you got to the point where you wrapped the rope around the posts! I've done this a time or two on older existing cat trees of ours and always hated the process because the rope always got tangled up as I was wrapping. "Throw bag" as you called it! 😆 Throw bag was SO SIMPLE a solution! Why didn't I think of that!! I appreciated the demonstration on how to cut the carpet and loved your idea on using patterned throw rugs for interest. ♥ I'm subscribing!
Excellent. Huge amount of work. WOW. I would suggest attaching wood platforms with holes so the cat dishes can rest in. A lot safer than the dishes sitting as you have them in the vlog.
This is a very good point. This was a special occasion, so I could film the cats. But many people do feed their cats on a tree because of other animals that would eat all the cat food. This is a good idea that I make a feeding station on one level that would have bowls plus being able to be cleaned. Good idea, I like it. Let me know if you have any good designs for a feeding station.
Very awesome craftsmanship. I was looking up ways to fix up my small, unstable cat tree when I found your video and I have to say both me and my kitten were mesmerized. He kept inching towards the screen until he finally laid down on the keyboard. Plus I love the way you incorporated different carpets, cuz if I know anything, it's that cats love laying down on a variety of surfaces. Keep on being amazing~
Loved it! Could never figure out how to do the half curve shelves without ugly seams on the outsides like the store bought ones show.

Yup that is a good point. I will make one for my kitty now! God Bless, Mary
I was looking for this comment because it's the main reason I really enjoyed it.
Your kitties are so excited, they know it’s for them!
The best part of this video is the cat helpers.
How do they help ? my cat helps by watching me
They’re cat inspectors 😊
😍WOW! THAT IS THE NICEST CAT TREE BUILD I'VE EVER SEEN! GREAT JOB!👍😸👏👏👏👏👏
Your cats are adorable. Wheels!!!! Genius!!
This human goes on the 'keep' list.
@10:13
Love your cat helping out 😁🐈
The amount of glue you used, single handedly helped someone retire. Love the video thank you for being so detailed!!
I hope that the fur babies appreciate all the hard work.
I very much appreciated that you began the video instruction right away with no long-winded preamble. Great project!
It's fantastic. Those two know it's for them.
That's the first cat tree I've seen made for bigger cats.. thank you!
You’re an Excellent Teacher! You keep to the point, don’t talk about personal stuff and you keep it simple. Outstanding! Everything is done in Perfection! Best video on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this. I'm glad kitty helped you out.

I think Katie and Tixie are asking for a tree or two.
I was exhausted from watching too…..lucky cats, and I love that castor roller touch. Hmmm 🤔
My daughter need something like this badly for her 7 cats. I think I can help contribute cat's nesting beds once they are moved into their new home. Thank you for taking the time on this video.
