very thanks, for interpretative answer

Thank you for the informative explanation. I too was wondering why the woman was using the soap. All the best.

Oh right ! Fascinating process.

Ty for that info. I had comnented above that it seemed like an obscene amount of soap - now I know why

This has probably been answered somewhere but I was wondering what is the name (?) of that bar of soap? Suggestions where to find it?

Patricia Z that is just too much work for a cat hideout! They are nice ,yes,yes they are. No way l am making one.

I was thinking that same thing... watching this made my hands and arms ache... No way could I do this. Maybe 20 years ago... but even that is stretching it because I have lupus with rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.. so even in my late 20s and into my 30s I was having problems with all of that... I was able to make jewelry and crochet into my 30s but then my arms and neck and other things got so bad that I had to give it up. So no way could I do this lol... It looks rough even for someone who doesn't have those types of problems. and at least with this one... you know its great quality!!!

Deborah Gwinn plus, u can buy one at Walmart for $8-10! I’m sure not as nice, but I Don think the cat cares.

mattiesful thank you! Much appreciated.

Bg Labelle ur right. They r cheaply made. This is absolutely gorgeous but way too much work. I have done felting in a VERY SMALL piece and it is labor intensive. But it is beautiful! 💕

I plan on having a cat in a far away future

Me, too no cat but it was quite a soothing time ;-)

Now you need to adopt a cat! 😊

Yeah same. It was satisfying though. I mean when would I ever have the time, materials or patience to do this. But I do really want a cat.... but they wouldn't get this from me.

thanks

I learned needle felting, so these cat houses always boggled my mind.... I should have realized there'd be an easier/bulk method :P

or cat person!

loniann Carusso I was thinking about me ... hint to my husband . 😬

thanks, if you get the cat i future, i am always happy to help you with cat house ;)

Same

I did too😁

;)

That was my thought exactly, and that was just in seeing how much wool was used! I spin and I thought, "Well that'll cost a fortune to make!" Then I saw how much work goes into it and thought, "I hope she CHARGES a fortune for those!"

@@kimwildner9431 yes, but she needs to make sure that people know that her stuff is all made by hand... using real wool. Too many people get away with cheating... because of the way they word it. People no longer trust in the label. Its a shame because everyone loses out except for the people who are scamming... People are buying, thinking they are getting quality and saving a little money. People who are selling quality stuff aren't selling because the scammers sell for a little bit cheaper and their junk is made by machine, and not good all wool

Save Ur money and use one if the left over boxes from Christmas wrap it in a towel. Bam! done

A very lovely and calming video. My son has a kitten about 8 months old. Maybe I will try this. Thank you. Please do many more videos. You seem to be talented.

Same with mine!

cat's don't like sintetik materials, what i think you bought for him. my cat bed's are from natural sheep wool.

Try sprinkling some catnip in the cat bed. My cats sniffed around their new bed but would not use it until I did that.

When the laundry basket is empty, my cats just jump inside it. No wonder cat hair is on everything! Also, I recently bought them a very comfy bed which none of them has touched. I put treats inside and they reached in and pulled them out. I put catnip inside and it still sits untouched. I think people buy things for themselves more than their pets.

@@edithsheridan2865 very good idea, thanks

OMG, I thought it was just me! LOL

Me, too. Pure torture watching it.

I think the table has a drain towards the back. I was getting worried when I saw the puddle on the wooden table, too!

@@Leo-nine I had to convince myself that this whole process was done OUTSIDE on a patio where soap and water mess was not an issue!

Im not even ocd and I wanted the soap water to go down the drain instead of sitting on the table the it was.

IRENE boring and not as beautiful i say... KIVIKIS love your cat house made of wool , its awesome !

Irene † The cat loves it.

Irene † great & easy idea! And if you wear it 1st, it'll have your scent on it, to further comfort your cat!

Irene † ARMYYYYYYYYYYYY HAI

Irene † 😂😂😂

Yeah because all mammals find the feeling of chalk so comfortable.

Yes, the are so many little bugs that love wool. We have carpet beetles that eat animal hair/fur, wool, fabric & human skin flakes

@artistpw Based on your comment, I was just reading up on food grade diatomaceous earth. I had never heard of it and according to many many sources, it sounds like it’s safe to use in this situation. Otherwise one could ‘dry clean’ the cat cave with the substance and unless the cat is allergic, the pet should be fine.

Wouldn't DE harm the fibers? It's very abrasive.

Isnt it poisonous to animals, especially if inhaled.

@Miyu Miyu Privileges? It's now a privilege to be of a gender? FYI, as the very supportive relative of a nonbinary person, I feel compelled to add that the RIGHT way to to move the world towards greater acceptance is not to hyperfocus on gender terms and attack people who use them. Consider the fact that YOU have, and no doubt fiercely protect, the right to choose your own vocabulary and embrace your own identity. So respect it in others. One thing that will never change is that you need to give respect to receive respect and you do nothing but disservice to yourself and others when you fail to do so. Maybe try this response instead: "Yes, great work and might I add thank you for providing this free tutorial".

Amazing

thanks

I agree! Lots of work! I'll just crochet one instead!

How will you make it stand up?

Kim beadyeyedbrat Kennedy A crochet cat nest will stand when using 4 strands of yarn or chunky yarn with a large crochet hook.

Cool. I have a size N. Big enough?

Yes, There are several different crochet patterns for crochet cat houses on KZfaq. Good Luck!

kivikis. cat, I think Lorrie L means "human sized"! That would be cool. I would need a little window in mine though, for cross ventilation.

I love the way you washed it 🤔😘🐈🐱❣

Jay Blue you could make items and sell them instead .

thanks

thanks

thanks

thanks also you can make: wool shoes, wool ball and other wonderful things

you need to try ;)

kivikis. cat Hi. I would love to but artistic and I are not acquainted, hence the respect and wonder :)

miaskittens D, Please post back after your experiment! And I'm thinking wrapping a few dry layers at a time, then wetting on the form would be so much easier to handle. Also, how are you gonna get the form out of the cave??? Maybe start with a beachball, inflated, then deflated for removal? Would you use the roving, or yarn? Roving is almost a requirement to get the fibers to lock together. Then the soaping step... Whoever said "Just buy one from Kivikis" may have the right idea. She really doesnt charge that much. I just thought of something: She's using reverse psychology on us, showing how much work it is, to make us talk ourselves into buying a finished one!! This may have worked, lol.

My dad told me that they used to make big rugs from wet felt when he was a child they stopped doing it which is a shame

@miaskittens D I was thinking the same thing - who "invented" felting? Maybe it came from a disastrous attempt at washing woolen clothes!

thanks for appreciating my work

thanks. please, see more videos with my cat

thanks for appreciating my work

funny suggestion

thanks

10:15 is more like warmed pita bread pocket to me.

you welcome, ask any question

thanks. so the price for made cat house are very high

It's the resist you need to make it hollow. You take it out after the shape is made.

I was wondering this too. Couldn't quite catch what happened to the bubble wrap.

M pay guess is the bubble wrap is remived when the entry hole to enter the cat cave is created. The bubble wrap creates the separation for the interior of the cave.

thanks,for appreciating my work

+Rirriz 800 grams

Thanks. Nice tutorial and nice job.

Rirriz g

;)

Your experience reinforces my idea to just crochet a cat cave, rather than go to all the trouble of felting one!

j borrego 😂 naughty cats ! I 😂

good idea too ;)

P Savage I think I’ll make one with paper maché and a ballon and I’ll just glue some felt on the inside or just add little blanket.

thanks

Haha!

😂

xD

omg

no ;)))

+kivikis. cat When do you remove the bubble wrap? I didn't see that step in your video.

when you cut the hole, this is an extremely difficult project I spent a good 8 hrs and was totally exhausted and had a flat heavy disk LOL it must be sprayed with fabric stiffener, all the stiffing in the world wont make it stay open. Youve been warned LOL

+Anita Wuest yes, i removed the bubble wrap, but forget to show it. sorry

That’s the cutest cat name 🧡

Cats seem to love fleece even mine who like your like boxes
