I love this! My favourite part is when you're explaining the castle to Rufus with the design drawings and he just stares at you and gets up as you ask what he thinks about being the king of the boxes! Typical cat! :) He's a beautiful cat and I think it's lovely that you built him the castle to say sorry for all his suffering after his ear infection and the ear drops.
I thought I was the only one who shed tears watching this.. but from the comments, I'm not alone. This is so kind of you to make for Rufus. We have towers and perches throughout our house but nothing this cool. Thanks for a beautiful video. Love to you and Rufus...
Extremely beautiful video. Everything. From designing the idea, a present for your cat, your work and dedication, the song.... I really loved it. I made for my cats something similar with 6 boxes of different size. They like it. But I want one like yours in the future when I'll had a huge house...
My 2 cents: I've heard of other people who've built the entire massive "Rufus Tower" and their cats didn't use it. I suspect the problem is how much work it takes for the cat to get to the top. I would consider assembling it like a right triangle, that way the cat could climb up the outside like a half step-pyramid. Nevertheless, you inspired me to make a smaller 11 box version and our cat loves it. Thanks.
Surely prompting the cat on to discovery is the point of the exercise. Spoon-feeding doesn't hack it. It's great as it. So much care and thought put into it. Brilliant.
I first watched this since i was still in high school. I hv graduated uni for a while now and I still come back to watch this so very often. It gives me so much joy and serotonin to see how loved Rufus is by you. I hope you're both doing well. Cheers!
im 19 years old and is shed a few tears towards the end man.. so beautiful, i wouldve done the same thing for my cat just to make him happy.. i miss him, its been a year now since he passed :(
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope he went peacefully. Some don't understand how important pets can be to people, they become more than just pets, they become family. My cat has helped me through a lot in my life, so much so I've her name tattoo'd on me. I can easily say I am here today because of her and I owe her a lot more than she gets currently.
I lost my cat after 18 years and was deeply hurt but I have found finding a new a little kitten soon after that resembles your original cat in some ways has helped me a lot. I have even given her the same name and call her number 2 some times. She will never replace the original and has big paws to fill but it makes it easier to grieve teaching a new kitten things you loved most about the cat you lost.
This has to be one of the most beautiful and heart-wrenching videos I've ever seen. Thanks so much for sharing this. And your cat is beautiful. I love him. He's got the best personality. I wish you two the best.
This is the first time I've watched the video. I'm having a hard day as a home carer and feeling very sorry for myself then I watched this video and it made me really smile. Thanks to you both for cheering up my day, and inspiring me to build a stunning dog version of this. Thanks :)
Never seen a more beautiful man, cat or castle. The best pick-me-up I know. Makes a fella want get up and go Down Under forthwith. Parallel Lions a group I now follow, the track For You is simply spot on. Many times MERCI!
First saw your video a few years ago--then LOST it--probably because my brain has spent so much time thinking about cardboard boxes & whether or not to use various accumulated boxes or buy the handy ones you have! When I found it again, the music got to me and I jumped over to investigate Parallellions. I love them! Thanks for the introduction! P.S. Magnificent video!
You are such a wonderful, sweet man to make such a thing for your cat. I can only imagine how much love you have for him. And, the song is awesome, too!
What you did is wonderful! it does make us cry, thank you! i am so happy to see there are people who love cats ( and animals) so much as you do! wishing your adorable kitty a long and happy life :)
I love this video. It was very touching for what you did for Rufus. You inspired me to make my own "little tower" for my two kitties. Also, the music was very fitting for the video. Thanks for sharing :)
This was just amazing.it actually brought tears to my eyes.So many men hate cats and I'll never understand why.You have a new fan,billybrowne.Give Rufus a hug for me.I hope you will have many more video's of you and Rufus.
as much as I adore this video, I have to say that it's also a great vehicle for this song, which has been played on my ipod nearly every day for a few months now. thanks for being such a devoted friend to your kitty, but also for introducing the TH-cam audience to your brother's music.
Qué lindo trabajo hiciste para tu gatito Rufus..!! Te envío un saludo desde Chile. La primera vez que vi este video fue más o menos el año 2011. Irradia un inmenso amor.
Good Lord, what an incredibly sweet thing to do for your cat! You are one class act, Mr. Browne--your friends and family are lucky to have you in their lives :):)
As I'm watching this awesome video before reading the description. I kept thinking, oh my gosh, what is the incredible song playing!!! Yay, you included it in the description ... I LOVE it, the song, you, and Rufus!!! >^..^
I love how thoughtful and kind you were in making something that would give an animal joy. We need more humans to do this kind of thing. Thank you for sharing.
That was awesome! I wish I had a spare room to do this.. but I can certainly make a smaller version of it.. thanks for that Billy.. Happy cat! One of mine really needs more exercise.. he is 21 pounds.. his name is Sherlock.. this would help him get the exercise he needs... his sister Celeste is a hunter so she would love it too! God bless you and your kitty!
This honestly brought me to tears. This cat is so lucky to have someone who loves him so much. The part in the video where he stopped the kiss Rufus on the head while he was building was too sweet.
It's a very very good job that I've already found the man of my dreams or I'd have to be booking a ticket to Australia to come and woo you :) Absolutely wonderful video, have just shared it with our cat rescue group so expect some more watchers soon :) This has made my day! xxxxx
Just watched this again. I don't mean to be awkward - I actually think in these terms - but I thought before, and I think now, that this is a masterpiece of videography. It's something I'll remember forever.
I found this through Freekibblekat... Congrats! This is the cutest thing I have EVER seen anyone do for a pet. If that cat could talk, you don't even know how many time's he would thank you.
My mum just moved to a new home and her cat, Cinder, is quite stressed over it, so we've been talking about using the spare room to make him a play scape. This is PERFECT! We've got many boxes left from moving her, too. Hope you don't mind if I use your idea. Now you've made another cat very happy. Cinder will be playing in his Rufus tower by the end of this weekend! You really should market these. Do a quick patent on it- some sort of folding box kit that can be easily built and decorated.
Every pet should be this loved.
After all these years I still love this song and Rufus.
i'm coming from 2020 to say the exactly same thing
Coming from 2022. I have this video on my favorite list.
@@erichakemm8815 Me Too!! 🥰🥰🥰
May 2023 I still remember this video and song 🥰 I hope Rufus is alive and well with his guardian.
September 2024!
This man loves his cat!

Marry me, wonderful cat man.
I thought the same way LOL
This continues to be one of the best videos on the web. I hope you all are doing well, including your brother with his music.
Ok human, i shall forgive you...

that is so sweet to build that for your kitty. It was wonderful to watch and to see how happy rufus was in the boxes.

Great idea!
Surely prompting the cat on to discovery is the point of the exercise. Spoon-feeding doesn't hack it. It's great as it. So much care and thought put into it. Brilliant.
I like that! Would also introduce a kind of Egyptian cat-worship theme to it, which, from the cats I know, would be heartily appreciated! B^D

Run Scrubs never buy a pet.........think how grateful they will be if you get from shelter!!
And that song of your brother's ... evidently talent in the family!
You, sir, are an awesome person
This has to be one of the most beautiful and heart-wrenching videos I've ever seen. Thanks so much for sharing this. And your cat is beautiful. I love him. He's got the best personality. I wish you two the best.
This was the sweetest thing ever! I need to do something special for kitty too!
Still love this and you. You're a good cat daddy
i remember when this video went viral, man its been 4 years..
and the cats probably dead by now
This is the first time I've watched the video. I'm having a hard day as a home carer and feeling very sorry for myself then I watched this video and it made me really smile.
Thanks to you both for cheering up my day, and inspiring me to build a stunning dog version of this. Thanks :)
I just want to marry him. And Rufus...
This is one of the most uplifting videos i have seen in awhile. Billy, your love of Rufus, and vis versa is quite evident!
Thanks for sharing.
That was such a beautiful thing you done for your friend RUFUS!!! It made me cry it was so touching....
I saved this video and revisit it every so often. You remind me of my husband and his love for our cats. The song is lovely as well.
Never seen a more beautiful man, cat or castle. The best pick-me-up I know. Makes a fella want get up and go Down Under forthwith. Parallel Lions a group I now follow, the track For You is simply spot on. Many times MERCI!
This made me cry... To see how devoted and loving you are to this cat.. Wow! You are Awesome! Keep up the good work.. Not easy!
Still worth watching and listening to in 2022. We lost our cat to cancer in 2021 and it has still been tough not having our little guy around.
First saw your video a few years ago--then LOST it--probably because my brain has spent so much time thinking about cardboard boxes & whether or not to use various accumulated boxes or buy the handy ones you have!

You are such a wonderful, sweet man to make such a thing for your cat. I can only imagine how much love you have for him. And, the song is awesome, too!
Doesn't get ANY BETTER. The ABSOLUTE BOY. And Rufus is TOP OF THE PILE. Brother's music = AWESOME. Clip never fails to boost morale. HEAVENLY!
what a team, Billy the architect, Ollie with the FABULOUS music and Rufus. Bravo to all 3.
I still come back to watch this video several times a year. Rufus loved boxes and he loved his Dad.
What you did is wonderful! it does make us cry, thank you! i am so happy to see there are people who love cats ( and animals) so much as you do! wishing your adorable kitty a long and happy life :)
I love this video. It was very touching for what you did for Rufus. You inspired me to make my own "little tower" for my two kitties. Also, the music was very fitting for the video. Thanks for sharing :)

I wish I find someone who loves cats as much as you do!
this is so beautiful.
Greetings to Rufus! I hope he enjoyed it !
I still remember when this video came out, can't believe its been 5 years already. I still have it saved in my watch later :)
You are an amazing person for doing something this loving for your little pal. Rufus is one very lucky kitteh.
as much as I adore this video, I have to say that it's also a great vehicle for this song, which has been played on my ipod nearly every day for a few months now. thanks for being such a devoted friend to your kitty, but also for introducing the TH-cam audience to your brother's music.
Oh-h-h-h-h! Millie wants one, too! That is a fabulous idea & such an ingenious piece of work! Good for you & Rufus!
this almost brought me to tears. this is what all animals deserve - respect and love from us... you are an amazing person
Thank you Emma Franz for introducing me to this amazing creative video of Rufus Tower!
For the Love of Rufus, you're a LEGEND, Billy!!! Love ya!!
Parallel Lions track is AWESOME!!!
Qué lindo trabajo hiciste para tu gatito Rufus..!! Te envío un saludo desde Chile. La primera vez que vi este video fue más o menos el año 2011. Irradia un inmenso amor.
This is the sweetest thing ever. I wish I could do this for my kitty. I hope she knows after 5 years I love her more than anything
You are a very good person. I wish people would their pets and other fellow human beings this much and more!
Made my day. really adorable. happy to see someone that loves his cat so much
at the end while you were leading rufus through the boxes from the top, i swear i was tearing up. this is the best video EVER
Absolutely the best TH-cam video I've ever seen. This is what TH-cam was made for. Good job!! Love it!!!!
I watch this often and love it every time!
Awww that's really sweet. You and your cat really seem to have a strong bond.
Good Lord, what an incredibly sweet thing to do for your cat! You are one class act, Mr. Browne--your friends and family are lucky to have you in their lives :):)
just beautiful, nice to see that much love for your kitten.
That brought tears to my eyes. :) Great job on putting this video together and treating your cat so well.
Rufus lives a happy life. Love how he sat around n watched u build it
As I'm watching this awesome video before reading the description. I kept thinking, oh my gosh, what is the incredible song playing!!! Yay, you included it in the description ... I LOVE it, the song, you, and Rufus!!! >^..^
I love how thoughtful and kind you were in making something that would give an animal joy. We need more humans to do this kind of thing. Thank you for sharing.
You are the sweetest man! Your cat is lucky to have you. And the song is gorgeous! I just bought it from iTunes. Cheers from the US!
This is beautiful! He loves Rufus and Rufus adores him.
That cardboard "Kitty Condo" is superb!
That was awesome! I wish I had a spare room to do this.. but I can certainly make a smaller version of it.. thanks for that Billy.. Happy cat! One of mine really needs more exercise.. he is 21 pounds.. his name is Sherlock.. this would help him get the exercise he needs... his sister Celeste is a hunter so she would love it too!
God bless you and your kitty!
It doesn't matter how many times I see this video, it always brings a warm smile to my face.
Omg this is the sweetest thing ever to do for a cat! Made my day!
this is one of those videos where i dont even understand how someone could possibly dislike it. its just so loving and friendly!
this is the sweetest. he is a beautiful cat.
I've watched this so many times I feel like I know this nice man and Rufus! I love the music, too!
It's a wonderful film and a most tender way of saying "I love you"
This is wonderful! You love your cat so much and that is so special! And your brother is a great musician!
This honestly brought me to tears. This cat is so lucky to have someone who loves him so much. The part in the video where he stopped the kiss Rufus on the head while he was building was too sweet.
This was very well done. I love boxes and cats definitely love boxes too. What fun a cat could have in the box tower!
Thanks Billy for this wonderful video. And thank Ollie too. I'm now a big fan of Parallel Lions!
It's clear your cat could not possibly love and trust you more than he does. It's sweet to see how much you love each other.
That is the most awesome thing I've ever seen anyone do for their cat - very creative!
Great project and it looks awesome! A work of art. That is one lucky cat
That's so cute and such a lovely thing to do for your little furry friend. I loved this video
So lovely to see how much you love your cat!
Wonderful idea put into action. And wonderful, beautiful music. I only have a 594 sq. ft. apt., so I'll be making a Rufus Tower. Thank you so much.
I watched it and now I want to hug you. You are a good man and you have a lovely cat Rufus . Good job :))
Truely the coolest thing I've ever seen on youtube. I own a cat myself (just turned 1), and you've inspired me to do something similar for her!
It's a very very good job that I've already found the man of my dreams or I'd have to be booking a ticket to Australia to come and woo you :) Absolutely wonderful video, have just shared it with our cat rescue group so expect some more watchers soon :) This has made my day! xxxxx
I just read somewhere you got a gig in Austrailia. Congratulations. I hope Rufus is still alive and well and enjoying life with you.
Wow this is fantastic! I want to cry! so much love for tha little guy there! :D Made me so happy, greetings! and the song is great too!!
What a great idea, beautiful song too. You are a thoughtful man who obviously loves Rufus.
bloody awesome mate - well done on this lovely illustration of humanity. Well done too, on your brother's music - it's good - very good. Steve
I love how he plans this with his cat ♥
Just watched this again. I don't mean to be awkward - I actually think in these terms - but I thought before, and I think now, that this is a masterpiece of videography. It's something I'll remember forever.
This is sooo cute :) I hope your cat is happy and healthy with his new play set :)
I came for the cuteness but I stayed for the music. You and rufus are awesome but I am in love with your Brothers music.
I found this through Freekibblekat... Congrats! This is the cutest thing I have EVER seen anyone do for a pet. If that cat could talk, you don't even know how many time's he would thank you.
I liked it when he said "what do you say?" and Rufus turns away... so cute!!!
Oh man ! You really loves your cat!!! You are an awsome person
This is wonderful! Props for being a good person. I hope Rufus enjoys it!
Que lindo!! Parabéns pela sua criatividade!! Tenho certeza de que o seu peludo amou!!
Cute cat, reminds me of my nanny's cat, the late Billy, in my native Brussels, Belgium. Great video. Thanks.
This is so beautiful!
love Rufus already and the castle U did is Awersome!! Congrats!!
Your video is my moment of Zen each day. Thank you.
You're a very nice Daddy to Rufus....very cute! Loved the song also...
Great music! Great cat project! I'm impressed! Are Parallel Lions selling their music online anywhere?
Awww! Rufus is so lucky to have a wonderful owner like you! Damn ninjas and onions..
My mum just moved to a new home and her cat, Cinder, is quite stressed over it, so we've been talking about using the spare room to make him a play scape. This is PERFECT!
