ahaha sorry guys, I guess I never actually explained WHY our cats have a cage for people who haven't watched those vids before!
Our cats love watching the birds, our neighbors, whatever going on outside. It's WAY too dangerous to let them go out by themselves though because 1) There is no safe spot for anyone at all to play here--there are only streets and parking lots, and 2) There are a TON of stray cats that we can sometimes hear fighting. Just nope nope nope, our cats aren't going outside unless they're in a cage. They usually ask to go in the cage by pawing or meowing at the door, and then they meow again to come back inside (usually between 20 min to 2 hours later). Sometimes if they're being super butt heads we'll just put them out there so we can get a little work done. :p But anyway, they love it. We're not just locking our cats away or anything lol
Rachel & Jun's Adventures! Can you answer my comment please because I really would like to have an answer to my question
Aoife Kelly Why are you offended?
Camryn Close what was your question? It may have gotten lost in the sea of comments
I understand the idea behind the cage. If I ever get the chance to have a cat (which would involve moving house) I would look into enclosure options as well. Maybe Australian suburbia is not as close-packed as Tokyo apartments, but there are issues of cats predating on native wildlife, plus safety of not letting them get onto roads.
Didn’t know other countries did this. Not much of a thing in Britain. Our cats go out during the day and we usually have cat flaps or windows left open for them. When we live in flats we just leave the doors propped open so the cats can go out. Everyone does it though so everyone is aware of why the doors are propped open in flats. Although I can’t say the same for sky rise flats. I’ve only lived in 3 storey flats before.
I accidentally read the title as “Fixing my Broken Cat” and I just saw Poki in the thumbnail, so I just thought “yeah that sounds about right”
Star_ Dust hahahahaha it does
Star_ Dust hehe

Cats: You can just *yeet* them and they’re completely fine
Yup.
Cats are independent
They Yeet themselves

yes
cats always land on their feet
dogs don't (sorry for your profile picture @lavvanii)
cats have 9 lives while dogs have 1

rachel's hair is very disney princess, while Jun's is very anime. Lovely couple.

Rachel of Catlandia and Jun Kun 😹
J. P. Princess Rachel And Jun AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (if you never watched dragon ball z you won’t understand c;)
Duck Queen i think if anyone has watched any anime with yelling they will understand
No both anime :>
Rachel: "I can't place this, I'm not tall enough!"
Jun, a tall person, instead of offering to do it: "You're still smart enough to do it."
Bless you guys haha
Nagi: Mrrrrrrrrrrrrreow
Haku: Complete and utter silence while he plots the eradication of mankind
Poki: *WWII Siren*
Poki can replace a nuclear raid siren
@@K.812_ but then there would be a lot of false alarms every time there is food in his field of vision
Stuka siren
Jun does the cooking and cleaning, Rachel does the handyman stuff
I believe Rachel was in the military for a while (correct me if I’m wrong) so that would explain her handiness. I really love how she takes everything on and gets creative because I don’t have those life skills lol
@@seafarer_ if I don't remember some nonsense, Rachel said in one video that everyone in her family is pretty handy so she is used to stuff like that.
Sorry for my bad english, I'm still learning
@@gaylordsupreme8824 your english isn't bad, it's actually really good! :)
She was in the navy i think
@@seafarer_ She actually mentioned that her family likes doing a lot of manual work at home, so that's why she likes doing stuff like this :) In some of their vlogs when they visited her family, her and Jun also help around her family's house!
Rachel is like an overprotective mom to their cats. Its cute that she cares so much for her little fur babies.
Ahem..
FATASS CATS
@Mia Smith r/whoooosh
@Mia Smith what
If you call you kid a skin dog it’s weird but if you call a pet a fur baby it’s normal..hmmmmmm
100% wish they offered the power tools and a work space in the hardware stores in US.
Ye, sadly people here are more likely to try stealing them..
Although most people have basic power tools anyway. And for those who don't I know a lot of places that will do free tool rental where you put in a deposit and when you bring the tool back you get the whole deposit back
In England, they have a sort of workshop but instead of the shoppers doing it themselves, there's someone who works there that does it for you as long as you provide like what you actually want to do.
I’ve seen many in the us
They do
Jun cleaning up the little mess he made in the workshop... 😭 I wish America had even a fraction of the clean-up culture that Japan does.
In america the mentality is "people get paid to clean that up, you don't want to take away their job do you?" The reality is "Of course people get paid to clean it up! Why do you want to make their job harder for them?" Haha. If you can clean as much as you can then the janitors have an easier time. lol
Japanese value cleanliness very much, even students clean the toilet after each use.
It's usually policy.
I dont think its necessarily a japanese thing, I was raised to clean up after myself as well xD and I live in Europe
In America, cleaning up after yourself is a general rule in a workshop, especially if sawdust is involved. It can be a hazard not to.
omg Poki always makes me laugh! Such a smart and active kitty :)
i didn't know you watched rachel and jun andreja!! cool to see you here :D
Poki got so round!!! 😱 it is either because he is Siamese (mine is chubby as well) or because he is a rescue. Rescue cats tend to eat a lot because they don’t know when they will get food again.
HELLO ANDREJA!!!
Wow my top 2 fav you tubers!:D
Poki is my favorite, he has such character.
I can see why Poki isn't as common in the Jun's kitchen videos. He is too excited hahaha. The white DIY units definitely look stronger than what was already in place though good work!
Jun said in another video that Poki tries to eat the ingredients if he is allowed to sit at the table.
I honestly thought that you called poki a "unit" and I just rolled with it.
Why is NOBODY TALKING ABOUT how the break looks like a cat head, like in cartoons when they run into a wall and the hole is the shape they were in
Jun's voice is the best cure for depression
ayyy thanks for the heart!!!
I know right! So comforting!
Yeah, I really like his voice too! That was my favourite part about his cooking videos.
Agree. Jun should do asmr later maybe...
and just yesterday i found out i actually have depression, no joke :(
I thought the title was "Fixing our broken cat" and the first thing that went into my mind was "Uh-Oh, what did Poki do again."
SAME.
Me too ^_^;;
Same!
I still keep reading it that way and so I keep getting shocked 😅
Samee
This channel is great procrastination material aha
Fr
stop reminding me
Ha, I'm procrastinating eating right now!
Swindy ahAh
Just here procrastinating LIVE 😆
Haku ~ BIG boi *~*
Nagi ~ cute innocent boi :3
Poki ~ HUNGRY boi >:o
Boye*
i did boi on purpose ;-;
Boi and boye are both grammatically proper here on TH-cam.
Also, Poki is SCREAMING BOI.
@@FiSH-iSH *_MRRROOOOOOW_*
That broken part is suspiciously cat head shaped. 🤔 Your cats may secretly training in martial arts.
That's exactly what I thought
lol it does make sense tho😂
hahaha! XD
Poki fell and his dense-ass head smashed through that ledge like Donkey Kong slapping the earth!
@@scottwpilgrim that's rude >:( POKI IS NOT FAT!!!!!! T^T
I love how once Rachel started talking about the shelves being slippery, Jun looked closer and was like "oh shit they've been in shrink wrap the whole time..." then he checked and was like "oh phew they're slippery anyway"
Totally what I was thinking too!
When I read the name of the video on the thum nail the how long the video thing covered the cage part so it said "How to fix your broken *cat* "
Same! It's also nice to see someone appreciate Eddsworld these days!
The Otaku
I know! I love it it's my inspiration for drawing ever time my brother says "THAT'S SO CRAPPY" check my chanil to see :3
Read*
Thumbnail*
I mis Read it
Omg I always thought that Haku would be the heaviest! Poki you greedy kitty!
Isagail C'mon now, Poki was caught getting into their trash bin several times already, he's the greediest cat amongst the three of them, both for affection and food lol
I was gonna say the same thing. Haku is like 80% fluff. They had to kid-proof the cabinets for Poki lol.
Yeah.. Haku and Nagi are like 90% floofy. Poki is smart and devious.
Can you blame him? After starving by the side of the road for who knows how long, of course he's gonna be a little piggy kitty! 🐷😹
My stepmother had a cat just like that. First showed up as a tiny starving kitten, so they called her Little Bit. After a while when she grew into her full adult size plus a couple extra pounds of snuggle padding, they realized they made a mistake with her name. In other words: a boo-boo. So her name was quickly changed to Boo-Boo as a cat that size should never have to answer to Little Bit.
Wait your home stores have sections you can use for space and tools? I'm jealous! That's an excellent idea, and more home stores here should do that.
Metalman200xdamnit true
Or injure themselves and sue the store.
Some stuff they will cut for you and I believe you can rent tools. But I haven't seen a work area like that in a U.S. store.
Quinn Grey we have none in my state I'm not Shure if that's just hear (Wyoming) but I've never heard of those kinda places in America
Quinn Grey It's Japan. Everything there is genius and perfect.
Haku is low key Jin’s number one baby, the way he woke up just from a sound Jun made, makes me soft
I have had many cages over the years, all needing something because the community of rescues here was incredible. We would usually get the animals from a vet or the utility company pole workers would have the list of animals and who they would go to. So, in time I had repaired many cages and I always recommend you use Dishwasher Rack paint. It is like coating the wires with rubber. This doesn't need replaced or covered up. I hope this helps someone. Blessings.
Michelle W Helpful info!
"If Poki can do it, any of our cats can do it." I lol'd so much. AHHAHA~ Poor Poki~ XD
Polish Pursuit I laughed too but in Poki's defense, he doesn't have his tail which probably affects his jumping ability 😅
Poki is love. Poki is life.
Poki is hungry. Poki needs food.
Rachel: I’m not tall enough ☹️
Jun: You’re smart enough to do it! 😁 You’re so smart!
Rachel: I’m so smart!
They’re so cute I can’t-
KatieIsSalty this part came up when I read this 😂😂
I am evidently impressed how effective everything is in Japan!
24/7 open small shops to also heat your food at!
DiY section at a workshop supermarket!
What else? Yeah.. I wish the rest of the world would think of this
Aww "if poki is good, everything is good" 😍 soo remember the next time when you're sad or hungry 😂
Aww that is so sad 😢😢😢😢😢😢
At 9:27 All I Was Looking At Was How ADORABLE THE LITTLE CAT CHAIRS ON TOP OF THE SHELF THAT HAKU WAS SITTING ON ARE!!!
Your cats are so calm and sweet, whereas while I was watching this video my mum was shouting at my cat for eating chilli.
Calm then theres Poki
Sounds like Poki
Sounds like my cat but my dad shouting at her for stealing and eating his Chez it's
14:54 poki scared this shit out of me
Anyone else think that the broken part of the shelf looks like a cat head?
lol
Puppy Chen holy- your right
Puppy Chen cat fell through! 🤣🤣
Yeah... 🤣
Yep
10:12 EPIC HAKU PARKOUR!!! that was some mirrors edge shit right there, what a talented boi
Holy Sh*t when Poki jumped onto the brown platform, you could see the dip and I got scared a little bit. Your DIY definitely is better
The way Rachel’s voice changes depending on which cat she is talking to is so cute
I read it as "fixing our cat's broken rib cage." I'm glad I was wrong 😳
Wait what XD
omg noo
Learn to read, dipshit.
DIY surgery
pls tell me thats ur dog
lmao at 11:28 Poki's face after Rach says "thicc"
woOw i just laughed so hard
This channel has the *BEST* subtitles/closed captioning!!!
Ikr? I always keep the subtitles on on every video XD
*butthead >:(*
'Can you find that, before the cats eat it'... Oh man, story of my life. Her top favorite is kitchen sponges.
wow you made it look better and be more structurally sound than the original
Was just thinking that if you wanted to cover the wire to avoid rusting, you could always cover it with a glob of hot glue. At least it would be clear and it would protect the wires. 😊
@@katienguyen210 and cats can have the tenancy to bite on the bars in cages.
according to my calculations, you need 5 wires to make sure all 3 of them can jump onto a platform at the same time from 1 meter height.
physics! let's you know if your cats are safe in less than 5 minutes of calculations
calculations:
the wire can hold 21 kg
gravity on earth makes things accelerate at 9.81 m/s/s
a cat's stopping distance will be around 20 cm (8 inches) = 0.2 meters
the heaviest cat you got is 6 kg
the falling distance is probably less than 1 meter (3 feet)
wire strength: F=m*g=21*9.81=206.01 N
max. acceptable deceleration: F=m*a => a=F/m=206.01/6=34.335 m/s/s
max. acceptable speed of a cat coming down: a=s/t/t => v=s/sqrt(s/a)=0.2/sqrt(0.2/34.335)=2.62 m/s
speed of the cat coming down: potential energy = kinetic energy => m*g*h=m*v*v/2 => v=sqrt(g*h/2)=sqrt(9.81*1/2)=4.43 m/s
4.43/2.62=1.69 wires needed --> 3 cats means 3 times the stress --> 5 wires needed if all of them jump onto the same board at the same time

*WOW*
When you’ve watched too much game theory.
I don’t understand your language but ok
*can you help me math please?*
But no, honestly, this is incredible. I bet you spent a lot of time on this comment, and it’s so impressive! You should have more likes and more reply’s!!
That work area in the store is amazing! Living in a small appartment this would hace made my life so much easier
Love the fact that you can use the tools for free in those home stores. Wish it was like this over here too!
17:30 omg sleeping haku is too precious
I love how supportive Jun is. It's never "want me to do it?" It's "Yeah but you're smart enough." Or something similar.
When you’re about to go to bed but then Rachel and Jun upload! 😃
Man Rachel is extra photogenic and pretty this video!
Was I the only one that saw haku wink at 17:30?
I saw it too
Yup I also saw it
I saw it as well
I saw it

Rachel: puts toy at second platform for Nagi
Poki: it’s a free real estate
CAN'T STOP WATCHING!! THEY ARE JUST TOO CUTE!!
The cats? Or Jun and Rachel?
Bibbs everyone in that apartment lol
Ikr
Omyghod Poki's so round
Two questions:
1. Do the cats 'speak' Japanese
2. Have they ever been to the US
Japan is a Rabies Free country so if Rachel and Jun wanted to take them to the US it would be soooo much work (and money) to bring them back to Japan. It's very unlikely that the cats will ever go to the US.
Also they will have to be in quatine (idk if I spell that right) for a couple of weeks for "testing" incase of rabies
Quarantine
@@bobignacio3351 right Quarantine thanks
Third question:
3. Do cats in different countries speak different cat languages?
Jun: He thinks they're fighting now.
Haku: gently taps Rachel's face w/ paws
He's such a sweet boy, I swear. ❤️
Poki’s face at 8:10 when he’s yawing was so funny 😂
I read the title as “fixing our broken cat”
They already did that with poki

slippery?

I'm currently a 2 hour train ride away from my cat, so I've been using Haku, Nagi, and Poki as emotional replacements for the time being. I love them so damn much you guys have no idea
7:57 when Rachel gets the vacuum out and Nagi runs into a corner though.
I adore the person who submitted the English subs
Do it yourshelf!

Get your head out of space and stay on 'ground level'!!!!!😂😂😂
The legend of Jun and the time travelling hair
No time traveling here. Recorded this a couple days ago.
What? His hair grew back so fast? 😱
Love your videos!
Just a thought on construction - apply the carpet before you put the shelves up. Instead of using wire to secure the shelves, you could use zip ties (or cable ties). I had the same cage for my prairie dogs years ago, and had to replace the shelves as they were chewed through. I found the zip ties to be a much quicker, sturdier, and safer solution.
You cage looks a little wobbly, so you may want to turn some of the shelves on alternating levels. ie: the lowest shelf runs east-west, but the next one up runs north-south, etc. If it kinda looks like a spiral staircase - you're on the right track. It will give your cage more stability, and keep the kitties safe.
Also, have you thought about putting a hammock in for the cats to enjoy?
Hi ,kylenparis, do they hold as much weight? I just happen to have the same cage. The shelves kept falling down, so I took them all out but one, and secured that one. Only one of my kittys goes in she took over and claimed it. However, when I take the cage outside I would like to put the other trays in. Thanks:)
Zip ties might not hold the same weight, depending on the brand.
@@sewhappy2879 black zips can hold up to 120lbs or 66 kilos per tie. Standard zipties will be marked with the tensile strength on the bag, so you're safe.
I love poki he has a little mustache it's a little gentleman
You two are so lovely to watch! It's been really nice to sit here after having a hard time and relax while you do something nice for your cats.
Really enjoyed watching this, can’t wait to see stage two
That's awesome cat scratch for corners, 9:07 and every time we have a project our cat helps well too 😻😉🤗
love how Haku just watches them from afar during time-lapse
wait a minute, he's sleeping!
I really love how they devote so much to make their cats happy🤓

Nagi is so smoll
Have been enjoying your videos since before Rachel moved to Japan, have so much respect and love for you guys and your fur babies!! Great work on their cage!!!
Awesome video! I love your DIY projects.
I watched the Poki rescue video yesterday. It's so wonderful to see the progression from injured kitty to chubby little boy. He's got such wonderful parents.
Hope his diet goes well and you two have a fantastic day!
I just realised, Jun has basically his old haircut back, hair back in the face. Have to admit, I like it more. lol
Good luck with Poki's diet. How do you keep him away from Haku's and Nagi's food?
We lock Poki in a different room during meal time now :p
see, I tried that, when I still had 2 cats. One was supoosed to gain weight, the other should lose it. Problem with the one, who was supposed to gain weight, he preferred to eat in intervalls, always just a bit. I sadly had to let him go a months ago. Only positive thing, the diet of the other one goes well now. Still would prefer having a fat cat and my old cat, but sadly, it wasn't meant to be.
I just love how much you two just love your cats! It's so clear from the way you talk about the cats and what you do for them!
Rachel is such a blessing to this world. She's so cute!!
Out of all three, I think Nagi's the cutest.
Nagi!!!!! :3
zip ties would have been better than wire and been much faster but the wire is good too. Love you guys and your kitties. I get so excited when I see a new vlog from you guys. Thanks for sharing.
+carra coleman I think we might switch to that when we add a couple more! I don't know why but it didn't cross either of our minds lol. The wire wasn't expensive so no big loss. Zip ties definitely would save us a lot of time!
The way you guys care for your cats so much makes my heart so happy 💞
You two look so cute together! Your cats also match sooo perfect! Amazing couple!
for a minute there I thought you're fixing a broken cat
what can jun not do though?? husband material ;;
That's why Rachel snagged him 😉
I just love the cat videos, they make me smile..Poki is a riot.
I love what you do! I love that you took poki in at such a bad state you are truly a kind person.
When compared to the videos, how often do you talk to each other in English?
Yeah what an interesting question. I'm intrigued to know.
There’s a video where Rachel says they speak English like 2/3 and Japanese 1/3 of the time. I can’t remember exactly which video though.
Part 2 please! I love watching vlogs like this or with you guys cleaning and stuff
I have an orange mainecoon and tuxedo also lol. I love how mainecoons are so chill that they'll tolerate being handled like that
Tip: "L" brackets look better then the wire, plus it would give you the ability of raising or lowering the shelves.
I thought the title was 'Fixing our Broken Cats' and I thought "Good luck with Haku, let alone Poki"
It is 1:00 AM why am I up watching my favorite people 😩❤️
That's wonderful how you found the perfect size shelves for the cage! What luck!
This is so domestic I love it I literally cannot stop watching you guys, y'all are literally relationship goals
I wish I could fix my cats stuff like this 😅, they are always breaking things and my roommates are getting fed up. Love all your content 💕
You need to set some boundaries and proper training with your cats, it sounds like?
CC I tried, together they are just crazy. Normally it’s not breaking things but more or less shoving stuff off the counter when I’m not there. When I’m there they are finez
