How come no one ever designs them around "observed cat behavior"?

Very nice cat house 🏠. I like the look and design. I hope you are feeling better now

Dylan has a good taste !!!!!! The roof is amazing !!!!! Great job !!!!

Top cat houses mate. Hope ya better soon. Hope you and the family have a great 2021

Hope you feel better soon, Dylan is getting spoiled with all these new beds! 🤣

Cute looking houses; hope you feel better soon : )

the legs look awesome! always good to use off-cuts. i hope kitty appreciates it! ha ha. keep up the great work.

Looks great!! Feel better!

Nice one Keith - hope you're feeling better now

Very unique and look good also! Thank you.

Nice! Get well soon.

Really enjoyed the video and I do think my cat Solo, would love it too!

Get better soon, Keith, Nice job,

Good job, another happy cat !

Nicely done! Hope you'll get well soon.

Great Project Keith!!

That’s given me an idea of what I’d like to build for my jack Russell cross Chihuahua. Nice one Keith great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼

Good job. I hope you feel better soon.

Ooh from the shot in the beginning it looks like a cosy wee cabin for a fuzzy buddy!

Always nice.👍 I don’t miss ur videos once uploaded....

Looks like your hole cutter and router bit could use some sharpening. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Get better soon Keith!!

really nice job!

Very Nice Keith. You will have to do a follow up, way in the future, and let us know how the cushions held up with Hot glue.

Another great video Keith. Thanks Sorry to hear that you're not well. Nothing serious I hope. Get well soon 😊👍

Thats one happy cat

When cutting a rebate I like to make the upright cut first. This way it's still fully supported.

Get well soon, Mr. Brown.

Lovely ❤️ hope you are well soon

I'm starting a wood work course this month and I'd love to make this for my fur baby

Looking good. In future you may want to try cutting the bulk out of the circle with a jig saw to give your router an easier time. Saw just inside the line then your router is only having to trim a few millimeters back to the template rather than honking out the full cutters width 😊

I love cats more than my life 😊❤️😍

You should make Cat houses for outdoor (Rainproof and snowproof) with plastic. There is a big market in the USA for it. People usually buy them for Feral/Stray cats.

Hope you get well soon

so cool ! nice!

Nice build! Thanks for sharing. Good idea to sell the plans (also) at Etsy. Be healthy soon.

Beautiful cat house, how long were the simi-circles, face and back of the cat house...

Ahhh little Dillon loves it.

Hi Keith. I was wondering if you'd be able to give me some advice..... I've recently built a shed 2.1m2 with internal measurements coming at 1.8m2 (if memory serves me right ) the internal measurement is from frame to frame not shiplap to shiplap ..... if you understand that I'll be amazed !!! Lol My question is would it be worth insulating between frame and the using a 6mm ply as the wall or is there another cheap method to sound proof the shed Clearly my space is limited so my work benches will be modular and multiple functions (eventually) I don't own a money tree !! Any advice would be nice haha cheers 👍

i like it so much

I made one and used felt to water proof I like the idea of varnish

Suddenly I'm interested in carpentry and woodworking.😍

Try PVA at 50/50 mix with water as a primer for a substitute primer !!

I wanna learn carpentry so that I can build all these stuff. Amazing job.

Nice job

After you sand off the edges of the MDF go over them with some wire wool it brings them up really smooth

Nice project, man, that’s a happy cat. Sewing straight lines is pretty easy, actually, and you can get a sewing machine with no frills for cheap. Since you’re a beginner, making cushions like those should be a nice learning project. You’d learn straight sewing and how to sew a simple zipper. Also, since you don’t intend to make clothes (I’m assuming, here), it can be really helpful to know the simple things about sewing so you could make things for the shop and for your products. My work aprons and a friend’s were all done by me, for instance. I’d be happy to post a pic, if you’re curious. :)

Nice one keith

nice build how are you getting on with the sprayer you got am looking forward to your thoughts

This kitty made his human work hard for him

Nice one, Keith. Hope Dylan gets Equity rates...! Get well soon. Best aye.

I love this, it's a little hobbit-esque. Very cute, and stylish.

Great job! One quick question if you don't mind: Was Dylan annoyed at all by the smell of the varnish? Should not be as bad when it completely cures, but having used the spray variety, the smell can linger for a few days.

Re the discussion below about cat behaviour. I live in a part of the world where there are all kinds of cats, wild and domestic, really big (cougars), medium (bobcats) and small (feral and domestic) and generally, they are 'cave' dwellers. Cats that don't live in groups (prides and clowders for instance) like their back covered so they can watch the entrance. Cats are seldom fully asleep when on their own. So any discussion around a cat feeling cornered in your cat houses is in my opinion coming from a place of not knowing cats very well. They can defend themselves very effectively if they only have one direction to be concerned about. I've lived with cats on and off for 50+ years and these are some of my observations over that time. Really, really like your cat houses, especially the one in this video. My only comment would be that I would like to see a hinged section of the roof that could be used for easier access to the interior for cleaning up the inevitable collection of smelly kitty litter.

Interesting design, did all the slats meet lengthways at the top, there looked to be a gap which could be good for ventilation? I must say your title could be seen a bit click baity by your American viewers, Cat House has a whole different meaning over there :-) , but I am an Australian so I knew exactly what you were talking about :-). Excellent video and thankyou for the effort you put in to doing them.

Lucky cats 😊😊

Great job. As always. What brand of varnish do you use? And get well soon

Gripfil has a short shelf life but it hasn't got a date on it they are a bit cunning. Try a better silicone gun or helpful solvent free is more plyable

Хороший домик для любимого питомца.

Get well soon keith. 🐱

He is a tip for you mate instead of wasting money on wood filler make your own get some wood dust and add some glue mixing together and apply to the hole and send it when it's dry

Have you modified your riving knife so that it sits below the blade, thus enabling you to do the rebates?

get well soon

Super ❤

People are so talented & creative around world like u and here I'm, i got no talent no life!!😵

Mt cats are wanting me to make one now for outside...;-( Get well soon mate..;-)

salute to you sir.. :) i like this vid.. just wanna ask if ur varnish or finishing's odorless.. coz most of the time,varnish's(or paint's) odor last for a long time.. and our pets are sensitv to strong smell..

Wondering about heated cat pads....could a hole be drilled in back or bottom for the cord?

Job well done, Keith! Dillon looks happy. Do you like your Ryobi hot glue gun? I’m a Makita girl and I have all of those standard woodworking tools; however, I have one Ryobi tool, so I’m looking for another Ryobi tool, so I can get maximum usage of the battery.

Not going to tell you what you should have done. 😉 The best compliment that you can possibly get, is that your cat loved it.

Nice

Another brilliant project, keep them coming mate .

I would highly recommend when cutting a hole with a router that you roughly cut the hole with a jig saw and then use the router at full depth, assuming the jig saw has not left too much material. Also with a bit of geometry the bevels on the cladding could be made more snug perhaps.

Great !!!

Hot-gluing fabric... I can't sew either but I've had a pair of curtains that I've been meaning to trim for a long time. Maybe it would work? ;-) I enjoyed the video and the design of your cat house. There's a product called MDF sealer than can also be used prior to painting. Some people will also apply a 50/50 mix of PVA and water to the edges as a primer. All the best and hope you soon recover from feeling ill.

Hello, wonderful achievement. Could I have the dimensions please. Thank you very much.

May I know that I can order that cat house?

lol - how big were those 'curtains'. You've gotten at least 3 projects out of them! :-)

Nice work and very well explained. Thank you to post it.

Despacito spotted in the background! Vice nice work!

nicework I want to be like you but I don't have the tools:(

Nice project Keith! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP

Do you know what has happened to stephens 8by6 workshop?

Great work! I wish I had the workshop you have.

Will this work for a Jack Russell? 😐

my little 14lb Cavalier King Charles Spaniel would like that, but I only have room for her kennel. :) Maybe you could make a beautiful small dog kennel?

Dylan loves that little hideaway - you just have to let him keep one ! I'm sure as a thank you he would give you a "get better soon dad" cuddle (whether you want one or not, if your ill, a cat will always sense it and pile on you providing a self heating hot water bottle). Hope you feel better soon mate.

I would love to buy this for my cat😂 I cant build..😭

🐱👍

Lovely. I would have liked to see the overhanging undersides of the cladding in grey too just to extend the pop of grey.

😉

Nice project. I like how you aren't afraid to show your mistakes and how you overcome them. I knew Dylan would steal one! Get well soon!

Once those cats move in they are hard to evict!

Plot twist: the cat ignored the house and it sat in a box

I wish I could get a house for my cat. I have no money to buy one for her

Do you know to make cat house..i am so lazy to buy some pet house...
