Can't believe we got ding dong ditched while recording the Catio Aftershow! 🤣 Watch the full video as a Patreon or TH-cam member: www.patreon.com/posts/59168509
First!Your videos are so cool!
The long awaited sequel!
So cool and I'm first I thing and live your videos
Love your vids.
XD
Catio 3.0 - A huge guard tower with a bird house, a hammock and a scratching post
I imagine a separate little glass house 😂👌🏻
A bird house that detects when the birds hatch and delivers them right to the cat with a conveyor belt!
And a separate a/c
I was JUST thinkin this!
@@mrcat1043 that's a tad morbid
It is weird to think that the first video I ever watched on your channel was the first catio. I never knew that I would gain so much excitement and happiness from each video you posted. You two have helped me even when I was having a bad day. I am so excited to watch the three of you, that is including Joobie, continue your amazing, weird, and funny journey.
Aw thank you!
What a cutie cat coincidence. CCC for short.
Same, it started with catio and now Im hooked ever since
I'm in the same boat as you, and I love it!
Same glad i rest watching the video and watch you grow
Imagine how lucky this cat is like it has its own handmade car, a catio, a cat feeding station with a splash shield and EVEN MORE
And only loves one…!
Haha yeah 😂😂
Another cat project I think Joobie would love is cat shelves. See, cats are very territorial creatures and they love being high overseeing their domain--it makes them feel confident. So if you made some shelves going up a wall like a staircase with a big carpeted perch she could sleep in at the top she would absolutely use it.
Yes
depends some cats are tree dweller some are bush dweller
Given that joobie seems to prefer spaces that are secluded like a catio, most like this is a cat who likes me time and something like cat cubes, enclosed spaces where it can be away from humans when it wants to is probably more for Joobie?
Yesss!!
I would love to see this video and see if they can make them damage free to i can attempt to copy it in my apartment lmao

@@EvanAndKatelyn oh no I definitely paused to read all of that I loved it
Everyone: how many clamps do evan and katelyn have?
Evan and Katelyn: Yes.
Now that I think about it they do have a lot of clamps, but very important clamps indeed!
yet somehow, never quite enough...
@@EvanAndKatelyn NEVERRR
@@EvanAndKatelyn just like dice for dnd lol
@@EvanAndKatelyn How, lmao
Evan falling over laughing after being told to be serious like 7 times in a row had me dyinggg 😆
Although I am not a cat person, I appreciate the fact that you two LOVE your fur baby so much to do a project just for your pet. You both are Awesome! The chemistry you two share is amazing!
Poor cat just wants to go outside. That box isn't great at all, way too small really. I'll be cat proofing our entire yard when we move so at least they can enjoy more space.
@@hippopotamus86 For some people it's more feasible and easy to keep their cat indoors, not to mention healthier and safer. From what it looks like, they have a giant yard, and their cat loves the little spot they made for her. They know their cat better than anyone, don't come after them like you're better than them for cat-proofing your yard.
@@hippopotamus86 They live in Texas. It may not be safe for their cat to be outside for most of the year
Imagine not being a cat person 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Heya, friendly painter friend here to let you know: when stretching materials over a frame, it is best to start in the middles with the staples, starting with the long sides, causing the slack to end up at the corners. 💃🏼💖💃🏼
Nice tip
A professional canvas stretcher is in our midst.
@@theimmersedreader I literally am 🥰👩🏼🎨
thanks for the tip!
I don't even make this kinda stuff, but thank you! In case I ever do need it!
Yes!! Joob deserves only the best catio💕 and more “ham”
Sorry whats ham? I only know
*haaaayyyummmmm*
I totally agree!!
And we get paw beans in return
Indeed
Yes
Crazy to come back a year ago. I asked my dad to make a catio for my cat and he succeeded. Y’all are the biggest inspiration to me and my dad
16:23 is 100% Great Mouse Detective vibes. After seeing it as a child, I've always wanted to drill a circular hole in glass - thanks for living the dream for me.
Evan: “We only have one shot at this!”
Katelyn: *Silent screaming*
I agree with you katelyn: 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😣😞
*internal demonic screeching intensifies*
Katelyn: "YOU'RE A SERIOUS BOI"
Evan: *cannot be a serious boy to save his life*
I love you guys so much🥴🤣💜
so serious
Thanks for keeping your cat indoors and thus saving the local wildlife :)
“We just got ding dong ditched” -Evan
Meanwhile Katlynns’s mind: we should walk out with a light saber and say “hello?” …
Proceeds to share thoughts to Evan
✨video ends✨
Me: ah yes a true E+K way to close the day!
I have an experience to share: We made a dog house with a acrylic top and it made the inside of the dogouse so hot when the sun was out. We made a cover for it out of UV fabric, like they use for greenhouses, that helped but the California sun was too brutal. We ended up putting a different top on it.
Ooh neat! Yeah she'll like the heat and sun for a bit during the Texas cold months but we'll keep a thermometer out there when it gets hot and maybe swap the roof for the hot months
@@EvanAndKatelyn consider a temperature activated fan that pulls in air from your house and into the catio that activates around 32 celcius for cat safety
@@matthewweinberger7023 Make a roof with solar panels, batteries, LEDs, temperature sensor and cooling fan columns/ducts in the corners?
@@EvanAndKatelyn Texan here. Don't you mean cold WEEKS?
Joobie must be pleased with her new catio, especially since she didn't have to buy it 😂
whyd you have to go and make things so complicated? i see the way youre acting like youre somebody else. gets me frustrated. simply admit that i am the funniest and greatest and sm*rtest and coolest and strongest yout*ber of all time! admit it, dear ai
@@AxxLAfriku wtf
@@sugondesee it’s a bot to promote the channel I’m guessing, but why they gotta make a song so horrible, then censor the words: smartest and youtuber
You are not lying 😂
That dog at 2:30 was a paid actor
Really, he gave an applaud to the attachment point
So much fun watching you two! Love that you bring CATIO awareness and interest to your millions of viewers too! We are a small channel but are always excited to share how much our catios have enhanced our feline friends lives. Catios for all!!!! Meow! 😻😻😻
The catio looks great. I love how Evan tried to be serious his laugh kept making me laugh.
it's even funnier when i tell him to make a sad face
@@EvanAndKatelyn i net lol
Bet lmao
@@EvanAndKatelyn Joob is adorable, like I want a Joob.
could you theoretically wrap some extra twine around the legs of the perch? that way it could be the scratching post and the perch combined? just a thought 🙂
Oh wow that’s a great idea! I hope they see this comment!
the editing bits in this video are FANTASTIC
Sense the supervisor can’t go outside it’s so nice that you made this for her!! It has the inside feel but the outside smell and looks!! You guy are amazing!! ❤️❤️
I’m definitely not a cat expert but I remember that they love being high up so they can see everything around them.
Is it possible for you to make a Cattic? An attic for cats?
That would be awesome.
They associate how high up in the social chain with how high up they physically are. We need a cattic
YES
YES
I have a lot of experience and knowledge with cats, they like being high up so they can see their prey and or surroundings/environment. The cattic would be a great idea if planned right.
My first thought when you guys said you were moving was "What about the catio?" Glad to see my worries were unwarranted!
I love how they even remade the landscape outside. That is some commitment to Joob
I LOOOOOOVE your progression in the Editing & effects from the early videos. That has started to become my favorite part of the videos! (And the Supurrvisor of course)
At some point they’re just gonna make a whole house for her
I know right?!?
They already bought her a house. Evan and Katelyn just live in it
Looks like they could very easily add a lower level that goes to the ground. Plant some cat grass down there for her.
Every cat owner knows that the whole house already belongs to the cat 😂
@@danana4867 every pet owner in general - everything me and my family owns actually belongs to my dog, he's just gracious enough to let us use it all in exchange forproviding him with kisses, hugs, and most importantly tummy tickles. (Food too, but that always seems like a 'lesser' need for him compared to a good fuss lmao)
you know Evan is nervous when even his safety glasses are sweating.
I just love that they got ding dong ditched at the end XD
These new house renovation videos have lived up to the hype so far, keep them coming :)
I love how deep your love goes for your cat Joob, especially with all of the amazing DIYs you make for her 🥰
The palpable amount of admiration and love for their cat is so wholesome, as a fellow cat parent I approve 1000%
Randomly watched one of your videos a year or two ago. Now I’ve watched like all of them (on this channel)
It was so adorable when joobie hopped onto the stand thing, to be honest this is definitely something I wanna get around to doing
Well done! Here's a tip for the future. The acrylic piece initially fit because you were dropping it in vertically. When you are installing a thick piece of acrylic (or anything thick and rigid) into a fixed opening at a tiny angle (as you did here), if possible the top edge should be beveled slightly so that it will fit into the opening at that angle, while still ending up tight at the very end.
huh?
Genuis!
@@mhmmmmmm320 they are saying next time take the corner of the top edge off to help give it a bit more room to slide in, but don't trim the rest of it down (like they did in the video), so it will keep a snug fit
@@schoo9256 WHY DOES THAT AUTO TRANSLATE TO KNEE
@@Foxinatrenchcoat There's a typo and he posted "genuis" instead of "genius". I'm not sure if "genuis" literally translates to any language, but "genu" is Latin for "knee", and the words for "knee" in most Romance languages are built from that root: e.g., "genoux" in French and "genoll" in Catalan.
I’ve been thinking about making my own cat a catio for a while.
She’s getting older and originally was someone’s indoor/outdoor cat who had a lot of anxiety when it came to being exclusively indoors. As she’s getting older I’ve started to become worried about her spending time outside so I hope by building a catio it will both keep her safe and alleviate the anxiety she had when I tried to keep her as an indoor only cat so she can live a long and healthy life into old age.
My sister got both a free Huge bird game (you can step inside it!) and a dog crate for cheap
on Facebook marketplace. With some zip ties and a cat flap installed into the fly screen of
Her cats favourite window the kitty now has a really easy, strong and budget friendly play space.
It’s not a permanent structure as they rent but that can be a plus in some cases too
did you build it?
THE CATIO! ITS ALIVE AND WELL!
it even got a new look
It’s literally a little home for her!!! My heart 🖤🖤🖤 it looks so beyond gorgeous and I absolutely adore how much care you both take (at all stages of your lives) to take care of her 🖤 she’s lucky to have amazing parents
That slow, soft tail wag when she first got in 🥺
It makes me so happy to see how much you love Joob- you take care of her so well. And you built a beautiful catio!!
(The only downside is that my cats now want a catio, and I have to keep explaining that we’re on the third floor of an apartment building so the indoor perches I installed will have to do.)
Won't you get charged for any holes in the walls or floor? :(
We spend an awful lot of time re-explaining things to our cats. It seems to be rather difficult to make them understand they can't have everything 100% their way 24/7🤔
Evan: Lets just do it right the first time like we always do
Me: *Stares into Evans soul through laptop*
Also me: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
6:48
Holy clamp that’s a lot of clamps
This video is just filled with love. Humans can be so great sometimes to other species and it makes me happy to see how much love this black cat gets.
Watching the 1st Catio video and now this one...Joobie is loving it. I will suggest one thing...Cats have night vision and the extra lights at night will hamper her seeing out in the yard. Might want re-direct the lights out to the yard so she can see out farther. Joobie is a beautiful cat and good job on being a responsible cat owner. Love the videos!
The pure joy that Katelyn has when Joobie jumped onto the lil perch brought such a big smile to my face
What the cat loves is beeing left alone. Eventually she will find out. Just like you. Lovely things! I would love the spinning wheel and the table with the bowl
Woah! It’s like a fish tank…for your cat.. that’s so Awesome!!! Well Done! 👏😃
omg it's SO BIG! Evan could sit in there! (I'm surprised Joobie didn't go after the blue tape in her apartment during her first apurroval)
It really is way bigger! but still a cozy size for her :) I'm surprised too, maybe that's a good sign that the catio was even more interesting than tape?
A customer of mine had a 3 story catio built against the back of the house where the cat can freely go in and out of the house while maintaining security
Great project! Actually given me an idea of making something similar for my chinchillas. They're not allowed outside, but during play time it would be nice if they could get something of an outdoor experience while still being safely indoors.
A chinio!
I’ve made several, and my cats love them. Here are some tips:
1) The weight of s carried by the windowsill. I attach it using slotted angles, which are concealed by the various;
2) Heavy duty cat screen all around. Where there are other critters, reinforce this on the outside with hardware cloth;
3) Keep the top screen and flat. Neighbor cats will lay on top and hang out with your cat;
4) Open window all the way. Insert piece of thick foam board. Lower window slightly to secure in place. Install cat door in the foam panel.
5) Design shelves so they dry quickly to prevent mildew.
I love Catio 2.0, and was especially pleased to see the 2nd level perch for Joob. I was only thinking during the build "that's so much taller, there's more than enough space for a 2nd floor!"
Course, the most important thing is that Joobie loves it 😻
If i were a cat, I would totally want this in my favorite window. Too bad I'm human!
Even though she is not my cat, I was filled with genuine happiness that Joob liked the catio🥰
I love how you see if your cat and I love how much work you put in to your video and I will love all video to Watch all of the video and you are so funny and you are very good with wood and Evan It's so funny And Caitlyn Always As a chill one
They cut the acrylic and dance. That was actually hilarious.
I'm still watching but I can tell its amazing! I love how they treat her (the supervisor) so incredibly well and mostly spoil her (in a good way!) I love all your videos and I hope you guys stay safe and happy!😊
HELL YES THE LONG AWAITED SEQUEL!
This has been this on my recommended and home so many times and now I’m watching it
We have two cats, a brother and sister. The brother is super outgoing and the sister is super shy. We built them a walk-in catio, and were surprised that the cat that loves it the most is the shy sister! She spends all day every day out there when it's a nice day. It's so satisfying that she loves it.
Would the Supervisor like cat shelves? Our cats love their shelves, too!
It’s crazy how much of an improvement this was. It looks absolutely incredible!
16:47 Joobie just getting a carpet like my grandmother had , i love those very old carpets that had those very weird patterns with blacks reds oranges and white ... and cyan
very nostalgic carpet xD
This type of video ( making things for your cat ) is my favorite
What do you think about this?
No.
We made this for you!
No.
God, what a mood 😂. My cats do the same thing to me.
It looks seamless! I loved the first one already and yet you improved the design even more! You can see the thought process through it, love everything about you both :)
“Sign up for my OnlyHams” got a chuckle out of me, no lie… 😂
The editing talent is magic. I’m in awe
3:30 I have an idea why don't you make a template out of cardboard then once you have the dimensions right you transfer them to the acrylic sheet
Hey y’all! Good morning to my western peeps! Can’t wait to see what they make in this episode!
*"5 and a half"*
Evan, hate to disappoint you.. but I'm gonna stick with 5. haha.
now that i think about it, it **is** a little weird to give someone half a banana...
A little hanging toy under the pirch would be so cute xx
0:50 I love how Evan pops up onto the screen
I have to agree with a lot of the sentiments in the comments. I always looked forward to you guys posting videos. And the amount of time I've rewatched videos is staggering. I can't remember which video I first watched, but i don't think it matters... because I love them all!
This catio idea is very cool. I had my sweet short-haired tabby cat for 15 years until she passed on. She was a Polydactyl Hemingway type cat. Her little mittens were so cute. I wish I had one of these catios for Kitty to enjoy back then. She was an indoor cat her whole lifetime but she liked to look out of the windows. I really enjoyed watching this catio build. Very special. Stay safe and healthy. Thank you. ❤ 😸
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the sheer amount of effort, care, and overall work they put into these projects and videos, their editing is amazing, and they take the tike to look over and make sure everything is perfect, and i bet it takes so freaking long to do these, E&K, yall are amazing 💗💗💗
Great video and good craftsmanship! Just a suggestion- consider using a polarizer filter on your camera lenses to reduce unwanted reflections on surfaces like glass, so that when you show off stuff like this, we can see inside without glare!
If Evan and Katelyn are reading this, y’all were one of the first TH-camrs I ever watched, y’all are so amazing and sweet, Joobie is one of the most cute and grumpy cat! I don’t know why she’s always grumpy, because she is so lucky to have 2 sweet hoomans like you, y’all keep doin’ what your doin’ peace out! ✌️
Awesome! This is amazing. Now I’m a huge cat & dog lover. They are the best companions who enrich our lives with endless love, laughs & joy. They truly are furry family. Your work is heart warming.🙂
I love that you make a loving & nurturing home for your furry pals. Also, it’s amazing when amazing pet parents go above & beyond to give their furry family an amazing home & habitat like you do here so they can live their best lives. And honestly, as every passionate pet parent knows, we love to spoil our cats & dogs like they’re our grand kids.☺️
I super excited to see this. I need to make a catio for my house but have it strong enough for a cat that thinks he’s a German shepherd and an actual German shepherd. Looks great.
The catio was the first video I ever saw of yours, and this just makes me feel some sort of nostalgic. This is just amazing!
I just realised how weird this feels. I first found you guys when you made the first Catio and well I am still here. Very good stuff my Suppurrvisor approves
i loved the old catio vid when it came out. but this one is like, 10x better!
The spooky atmospheric sounds when you guys sped up the building footage of concentration mode had me HOWLING with laughter. perfect editing comedy. AND THEN THE CLONES!
It's always so heartwarming to see Joobie happy :>
I've had a stressful day so far, and your videos always cheer me up. Thank you for being awesome!
Literally your first cardio what is the reason why I followed you guys and watching you guys make her another one makes me so happy to just watch supervisor
Great job on the second round. Looks cute. I introduced my 12 year old daughter to your show and loves it. She wants your merch for Christmas now. Haha. Katelyn you look like a cross between my daughter's sister and her mom's best friend, ironic. Keep up the good work guys, real fun to watch the 3 of you.
Aw man seeing that before and after, I’m glad she’s able get in the Catio easier, and she can see so much more, so much more room for activities lol
You guys gave me a fantastic idea. I live in an apartment on the second floor so catio's are difficult, but I think making a design almost like a Window AC should hold! (Window AC's are pretty heavy)
This was so cute! Well done y’all !
Your kitty looks so happy!!
Also I loved the editing style and your humor made this even more enjoyable 🥰
I like the blue tap on the door it gives a modern touch
I have always loved watching y’all, but lately you’re content’s gotten amazing. The editing is just awesome! This is my favourite videos of all time!
I confess that I cried a little watching joobie so happy in her new catio
Hi! Me and my dad are begining our own catio! I asked him about 2 months ago. Thanks for the inspo guys! love your content. keep it up :D
It's so beautiful! The rug and the lights are a nice touch.
I want a human sized catio 0_0 AKA a bay window reading nook or a screened in porch. I want to enjoy fresh air and sunlight without mosquitoes and ants!
I'm so glad you updated the catio! I'm planning my own so this was really helpful! Definitely gonna go as big as I feasibly can and get those cat measurements since those were the biggest (non-aesthetic) improvements in my eyes. Also I love the idea of lighting for the dusk and early morning kitty explorers!
These are 10/10, the best vids. I really enjoy watching people go through a lot of effort for their pets.
The original catio video got me into your channel, and this video makes me very happy
I watched your videos since 2018 or 2019 and you never fail to make me laugh😂
