Please don't apologize for the kids not wanting to be on camera. I think it's wonderful that they are protecting their privacy and that y'all are fully respecting and supporting that. I see so many of the problems faced by kids of family-vloggers that don't get a choice and it breaks my heart.

When our boys were in middle school in the 70’s we were going through horrible yelling, arguing every morning to get them up and out the door for school. One evening we called a family meeting and presented them with their own alarm clock and told them that from now on they would be responsible for getting to school each day. If they didn’t make it they would have to suffer the consequences. After one late day to school they suddenly became responsible teens. Amazing.

First-you are so amazing for rescuing the sweet kitty!!! Second-find a car detailer with an ozone machine to get the smell out of your car. Those things will even get skunk smell out.

I used to work at a vet clinic. I always used to laugh when people would bring in a stray cat, then tell me they'd been feeding it for the last few years and it stayed in their house. I'm like: "Umm, it's no longer a stray cat. It's YOUR cat😂😂"

As a former animal shelter volunteer, I thank you for taking care of the new kitty. These orphans can't help what happens to them...always spay and neuter...they rely on humans to help them. Rescue cats make the best companions! Be gentle...no loud noises and if he is a scratcher...you can wrap him in a towel like a burrito which can help him feel more secure while you are medicating. Thank you, guys, for helping one of God's creatures...when you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it as unto Him! :)

We found a cat, or rather he found us. We put his photo in the paper and the family who lost him got in touch. He got to meet his brother again, but they let us keep him after seeing how attached he was to us. He never lost the gratitude because we rescued him when he was so lost in a big field. He heard the voice of someone calling on the horses, and thought it was a call for him. Best cat ever!

Thank you for taking care of the cat. He is stray but definitely not feral. If he was feral you wouldn't be able to touch him. I wonder if anyone is missing him, since he is familiar with human contact. I'm so glad he found you guys. Not many people would spend that much or care that much for a stray cat. I like the day in the life format. :)

This is my favorite video of yours you have ever made. You are seriously the kindest human being I know of. Spending $1300 on an animal that isn't even yours is crazy pants my friend. But that's the Cas we all love, ADHD and all! You are truly amazing.

Why is that the best thumbnail I have ever seen in my life? 😂😂😂

I don't think that is a feral cat. It is a stray. A feral cat would be more aggressive because they are not used to humans. Thank you for helping him. You have a kind heart.

I'm always telling my family that my favorite parts of your videos are the little blurbs you give at the end with a personal story and this is a whole video of that and it's my favorite thing you've ever done!

Now I know you have a heart of gold. You not only take care of your family, you have pets you take care of and even take in animals!

Forgot to add, bless you for saving that sweet baby! He’s mad at you right now, but when he’s well, you will have his eternal love! Orange cats are the sweetest!

My son and daughter in law live on same property and driveway ( long) my daughter in love and granddaughter fought every morning because she would miss the bus and not want to get up, I bought granddaughter an alarm clock. It was supposed to be for the bus shelter but she wanted it in her room. She determined her wake up time and routine. I set an alarm on my watch for 7:05 which gave me time to get shoes and outdoor gear on. I stop by her house below ours and we walk down hill to shelter, turn on the twinkle lights and light the candles in the windows ( we are in Alaska-and it is nice shelter my husband built for her father years ago) we got an old heavy rubber lined curtain for doorway to block the wind. I take about 15 to 30 minutes out of morning routine and we make lasting memories. Bus arrives, I wish the driver and kids looking out window a good morning…Twinkle lights are turned off, candles blown off and I walk with the dogs back up driveway for a second cup of coffee to warm up. This isn’t advice …just a share😊

I'm not even done watching this video but it is completely unhinged and this would be the best reality tv show LOL!!!

This may have been the funnest day in the life I've seen in a very long time. I'm so sorry to laugh at your expense 😅. Please post more day in the life videos! You have such a kind heart to care for that kitty. I hope you keep us updated!

Cas is the biggest, funniest, hot mess woman. We love the realness. Love ya, Cas!

I was LMAO when you said you had to make an ADHD video before you started your day as if that wasn’t the most ADHD thing I have ever heard. 😂😂😂 and then later, when I was watching you try to clean and then in the middle of it decide you needed to check on your dog I was like girl you don’t need to make an ADHD video, you‘ve got one right here! 😂😂😂😂 love from a fellow, severe ADHD, middle-aged mama! 💕😂

Oh my goodness Cas the cat story reminds me of us. My kids found a beautiful ginger long haired rag doll cat with ticks all over its face. The animal lovers we are, took this cat to the vet. It wasnt chipped so it stayed at the vet for a week to see if anyone would claim him. He was stinky and dirty too. No one picked him up so the vet said we could adopt him if we'd like. Of course we did. Before he left the vet we had him fixed, worned and vaccinated. Several hundred dollars later. He was only young. Now 7 years later he's the most beautiful and loving cat and we love that stray cat so much. You're awesome Cas. Love your videos. And good job to Emily too. 😊

As someone who does animal rescue, mostly cats, THANK YOU for taking this sweet boy in!!! And yes the vet is SO expensive.He was most likely a pet or around humans otherwise he probably wouldn’t let you near him. There’s a pill shooter on Amazon or i stick pills in a Sheba meat stick or crush and put in a liquid treat like churu or delectables. I make my own Cat pee remover that works better than the enzyme cleaner. 16oz hydrogen peroxide 1tsp dawn 1Tbsp baking soda. But for furniture/mattresses i pour on baking soda then heavily spray or pour a bottle of peroxide with a few squirts dawn in it. Peroxide brings urine to the top and soda soaks it up. Repeat until smell is gone. 🍀

This is exactly what I imagined your life to be like! 🤣😂. As soon as you said you were taking the cat in a taped box, I though,”Oh Boy, here we go!”

When I missed the bus as a high schooler, my mom said you better get going by walking or riding your bike or you will be late for school. School was over 3 miles away. It was my problem, not hers. I rarely ever missed the bus after that. I even got up extra early to take an earlier run so I had extra options if something did happen.

Nature's Miracle is your friend. Warning, it will smell worse before it gets better while the enzymes are breaking down the bacteria in the urine. Also, get some charcoal air fresheners and stacks of newspaper. The smell will seep into the newspaper over time and you can throw it away. Also, an ozone machine could help. My daughter had a dead rat behind the cabin air freshener in her Prius. It was the worst smell. While all of the hacks were working (the newspaper, the charcoal air fresheners, etc) we put a couple bars of Irish Spring under the seats. We put the soap in old socks. It helped cover up the smell temporarily so we didn't gag every time we had to get in the car

God bless you child. What a whirlwind and you still had a smile at the end. Your husband is a saint.

Put the pill in a little bit of tuna and he will eat it all up quick as a flash. God bless you for taking care of this precious kitty.

I missed the bus a lot in 8th grade (algebra being first period had nothing to do with it, wink), until my mother started "charging me for gas", aka withholding allowance. Worked like a chsrm. 😂

OMG!!!! I can't believe that all happened the day you were filming. It was such a Cass Classic 😂

I love your rawness, honesty, and that you are unapologetically YOU! You comfort me❤

The whole cat incident reminded me of what happened to my mom one time--same sort of thing, cat peed on her in the car, she went into the vet and someone from the desk comes over and says "is that a male cat?" When she told them yes, they told her that she was going to have to leave it in the car until the appointment. She laughed and said "that's not going to solve the problem because it's on me too." She said she's never been moved to an exam room so fast in her life! So nice of you to rescue him and to make sure his health was a priority. You definitely needed that bath and mud mask after that day!

Thank you for the “laughs” this morning … but my biggest THANK YOU for rescuing that sweet kitty. I “adopted” 4 feral (who became not feral) 16 years ago. In 2023, TP was the last to cross that Rainbow Bridge. I didn’t regret taking those babies in for one second.

Everytime they miss bus, that night to bed 30 minutes early no electronics. Get up 30 early. Every time.

This is a great example of reframing a bad experience,and most of all laughing at yourself, instead of being overly serious and belittling your self. And thanks for the reminder to be human and embrace life.❤😂

Here's an idea for a video in the near future- makeover for the van! How to organize your van/truck/car to keep it clean (well cleaner) and organized! Crate for the cat, seatbelt or crate for the dog, WATERPROOF covers for the main seats; other sorts of supplies like bring-back bags for grocery shopping, emergency supplies like for cleaning up after a "spill" (paper towels, ziplock bags), umbrella, non-spill coffee travel mug...could be a great video! My dad was a realtor for a while and never let us drive his car!

The dog's face after she spilled the coffee, i'm dyiing!

What a beautiful ginger boy. Thank you for saving him.

What-A-Day!! Mr. Bojangles is family now...keep him indoors moving forward, get him neutered for his health, & give him the love he so deserves...you're already ahead of the game on the love part!! 😻 He will come around, especially as he heals!! I know that urine is a doozy...one of my rescue kitties baptized me on the way to the vet every time...he was sooo afraid & couldn't help it!!

Get an ozone machine and let it run in your car overnight with the windows up. It’s not good for anyone to breathe it while it’s on. ozone machines are really good at removing insanely difficult odors from a home.

This is my favourite video ! The cat in the car, I was weak laughing ! Thanks for showing us your day . x

This is the Best and most hilarious "Day in the life" i have ever seen. 😂 I love it and I love how you share so openly and is just your self All the way 🎉

It's no wonder that those of us with ADHD are constantly exhausted and forget to eat. Thank you for sharing your day, your struggles, and helping others to understand what it's like.❤

Oh Cas, from one ADHD'er to another, I can relate to this ENTIRE video!! Especially the not eating when busy! Thank you for the honest, real life peek into your day! We're all human!! Anyone could edit this video to make it amazing, thank you for keeping it real! Thank you also for taking care of the stray kitty! Your heart is huge! If you only knew some of my kitty stories!! LOL! Odorcide! For real, it WORKS!!! Good luck, you got this!!

LOVE this format for a video. You nailed it. It is an extended "thanks for staying to the end". Total win!

My sister taught me this with a senior dog who had bladder problems. She does this for her cats and it was a game changer! For the urine- use alcohol in a spray bottle but it has to be like 99%. GAME CHANGER!! Good luck!

😂 never a dull moment with critters

Mr. Bojangels is a great name. He's lucky to have you!

Cas and Joe, it seems your lives hold more than there are hours in the day. Thank you for a little snippet of your family. Take care, big hugs.

I have been watching your videos for years and this is, without a doubt, my Very. Favorite. One!!! We love us some real life! 💗

To Cass And ClutterBug team, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing your day in the life. Your grace, humor and perseverance inspired me when I was having chaos and calamity myself. You are a beacon of light to many. Love you and love your show.!

🐱Aww, what a lucky cat. God bless you for taking care of him and giving him a loving home. I know of someone who cleaned a car trunk that a skunk had sprayed in. Believe it or not he used douche that you buy in the store. He was a car detailer so he did it for a living. According to him, it works. This was several years ago so hopefully the formula hasn't been changed. Good luck.

Cass give us more of those videos girl?!! They’re are hilariously realistic ❤ I used to watch the day in the life videos since you opened the channel over ten years ago. You are my favorite KZfaqr ever

Wow that was a real life day! And you were smiling through it and fitting in a bath and mud mask with so many accomplishments, not all the ones you planned. And bless you for taking in that handsome feral cat who chose your family. We took in 2 abandoned 6 week old kittens, because I just retired and to replace my 22 staff members I decided I needed 2 kittens to add to our present 2 older female cats who don’t really get along. Yes the vet bills for the wee kittens were huge yet were expected. And then the kittens gave all of them eye infections. One of the older cats went from an eye infection to a full blown systemic infection. She stopped eating and drinking and moving. I actually was forcing her to take in fluids via a water dropper. Many antibiotics and 2 rounds of intravenous meds and rehydration later, she fully recovered. That was an unexpected over 1000$ fee! Yet we love our pets. And we love your videos Cas and your willingness to be translucent with your crazy life that is full of wonders. You are so inspiring! Your ideas and organization and clutterbug concepts are brilliant! You truly add to so many people’s lives! TYTYTY!❤

My typical day in the life in my REAL LIFE!!!! Thank you for sharing. I LOVED it!

This is my FAVORITE VIDEO! I'm just hanging out with my friends!

Poor Mr Bojangles! He looks terrible. I am so glad he adopted your family! ❤🐱He is going to be beautiful!

Omg what a day I’m not surprised you’re stressed. Thanks for looking after the cat. I’d take the car to be valeted and hope they can get rid of the smell. I’d also like to remind you to not load up your day with so much on and I know this day was exceptionally stressful. I’ve put nearly all our clock 3-5 minutes forward in the hope that I will be on time and no it doesn’t always work 🙄 Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇‍♀️👏👍💪🤞🙏💐🐈🦮

Thank you so much for taking in that poor cat! And for getting him all fixed up and medicated!!! You and your family have the kindest souls!

A great video and gotta tell you not only are you amongst the most warm- hearted but genuinely interesting and fun people. You give a lot to society with all you share. 😀☀️🌸

I'm so glad you saved Mr. Bojangles! He's going to be a sweetheart - orange cats are the best. I suggest wrapping him in a towel before you try to pill him. You may also want to buy or make a pill giving tool - i put the pill in a not used gerlneric monostat applicator (I bought a pack with the tablets just for the applicator), get that fairly deep in his mouth, and press the plunger. If you're not game for that, you may want to try putting the pill in a pill pocket or squash it in some processed cheese or mortadella. The car seat is probably going to need replacing, but it's always good to try saturating any peed on textiles with oxyclean, waiting a few hours then using a carpet cleaner to suck it all out. Good luck!

Loved this day in a life video ❤ You just make me feel normal 😂🥰 I'm so happy for Mr Bojangles! He might not know it yet but he is the most fortunate cat

Over a number of years, I took in 7 across my threshold and loved each of them to their individual ends. They were expensive but i wouldn't trade one minute or one dollar. They paid their way with snuggles and love. Not all were immediately socialized but homeless and feral are different concepts. ❤❤❤ This video was a very "me" day. Thank you!

I love you Cas! I love how real you arem in a world of people acting like they are perfect (or even telling us they aren't while it all looks otherwise 🙄) you are a breath of fresh air!! ❤ I'm so sorry about Mr. Bojangles peeing all over you, but you're a saint! 🐈 Thank you!!

Put one of those dish drying pads in the bottom of the cat carrier for all future rides to the vet. Use double sided tap to stick it down. Get some from the dollar store. Never let your cat roam the car, especially while in him untamed state. Sorry to say, you will never get that smell out of your seat. You need to replace the seat and have the car professionally deep cleaned.

Make a mixture of 2 table spoons of baking soda, 1 table spoon of dawn dish soap and 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide. Make a paste. Adjust Measurements as needed depending on how big the area is. Then apply to area and let set for a few minutes and rinse. You may need to apply a few more times to get rid of the smell completely. Works great if your dog gets all skunky. Works better than tomato juice. I got the recipe from a vet that I went to years ago.

Yes! Before you got to the end, I was thinking this whole video was an end of the video story! 😂 Thank you for taking care of the cat. Orange cats are the best.

You are so sweet to help that cat. I love you for that. For your van, you may need to take it in to a professional detailer to get the cat pee smell out. Definitely buy a cat sized crate. Makes life so much easier now that you own a cat 😂❤

You have a big heart for rescuing that cat ❤ A great deodoriser for cat pee smell is filling a container with Epsom salt, 2 TB Alcohol, 2 TB of whole cloves, and a capful or 2 of fabric softener, then leaving it in the car for awhile (overnight to a few days). Hope this helps 😊

It's gonna be ok. Crap happens everyday to everyone. Poor kitty. Your doing great.

Thank you & Joe for taking care of Mr. Bojangles & adopting him. It's ppl like you that make a difference. You will be rewarded with so much love from him. I'm glad he is okay. Breaks my heart to see any animal hurt. What a crazy chaotic day for sure. Thanks for a glimpse. Hope you get the van situation figured out

What a wonderfully compassionate family you are... going through so much for a stray cat... I have been watching you for years and strongly believe that you would have done the same acts of kindness for the poor creature, whether anyone was watching or not. I do hope that you consider taking your car to a professional, and hopefully they will solve the smell problem for you. Lots of little wins you had, even in such a hard day. Onwards and upwards is my wish for you. We need you. We need more people like you.

Staretd my morning late because I woke up last night and decided to watch KZfaq (You, Dawn, Dana - it was a decluttering marathon watch-binge). Despite the late start, I just HAD to watch this video when I woke up. Thanks for ensuring that it's a good day - in comparison to the day you had, how could it not be!! LOL. Love your videos, this one was super-relatable!!!

Hello sweet Clutterbug Goddess! I hope today is much better than yesterday when you posted about your fiasco. This is a cat hint to share with all of you Bugs out there. I have three indoor cats. One likes to sleep downstairs in the junk room. I started decluttering and the beautiful hand made pillows (some needlepoint, some made by me out of French damask linen napkins) had grown FUR! Lots of fur! I can’t take them apart, so I couldn’t wash them. Also, dry cleaning would have been ridiculously expensive. Anyway after some research I bought Bounce Pet Hair & Lint Guard dryer sheets ( I NEVER use dryer sheets) I put two to three pillows in the dryer on low with soaking wet tea towels and several of the dryer sheets. It removed most of the cat hair on the pillows the first time (about 20 minutes) A few had to go through the cycle twice. It’s a miracle 🐱😇❤️👍 Now I am happy and so are the cats. I hope this hack will benefit all cat (and dog) owning Bugs. 🦋🦗🐞🐝

You are blessed to have Joe as your hubby!

Seriously… your patience is amazing… I feel like your adhd has given you super powers because you can handle anything!

Try “Angry Orange Eliminator”, for your car seat. It has a strong orange smell, spray it on, let it sit for a while and wipe off with a clean cloth. Worked great when my cat did the same thing. I cleaned it right away, had bought some angry orange cat pee eliminator before and had it on hand. It works great.

I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time. Only because I’ve been there many times. Bless you for not completely losing your shit, as I have done many many times. You are amazing, my dear. Big hugs from New Mexico, Ursula

That cat pee van video was HYSTERICAL!!! Yeah call the junk yard and buy a new seat. You'll be smelling cat pee in your head for WEEKS. I brushed against a trash can that a steay sprayed and i swear i immediately washed the sweats i was wearing. And i still smelled it for DAYS...

Try white vinegar on the seat. And maybe stick boxes of baking soda around it. Keep the windows open if weather permits.

We put our cats' medicine in soft food so they just eat it without knowing they are doing it. It saves all of us a lot of stress. Just make sure it's a food the cat really likes.

Please keep making these kinds of videos! It’s amaze balls and it’s one of my favorites because it’s so real and makes the rest of us feel like we aren’t failing because you just keep such a good attitude throughout and it’s so uplifting 😊 and you still get through your day no matter the bums!

Yes, to the eating issue 40 years ago, I was diagnosed with ADHD. At 50 I still have reminders on my phone to eat.

Thank you for loving this new cat, Bo Jangles, he is such a lovely cat. Once he has had all his medical needs met, he will become a lovely member of your family. I love your dog too, and hope that they can become good buddies. You had a very stressful day. That tom cat smell is terrible! I hope it will all settle down into a happy family again! xxx

What an adventurous life you lead! So fun to come along with you. Please let us know how you finally get the smell out!

Cass, I have been watching your videos for years, mostly through my TV. I have never commented. I just had to tell you that so many of my days go like your and I don't have ADHD. Love you, lady!

I'm so sorry Cas for your series of unfortunate events, but I cry-laughed during this entire video. As a fellow ADHDer, I totally relate😂

I'd just replace the seat and get it over with. Probably expensive but it would be done with. Thanks for rescuing the cat.

This is the best thumbnail and video title ever and pretty much sums up the vibe of my ADHD life. ❤️😺❤️

All but one of our family cats had found us. Love your dear heart for Mr. Bojangles. He's one blessed pet.💗💗💗

Thank you for helping that precious cat! I loved you before, now I love you even more. You’re the best!

He's a very cooperative cat😊 for being a feral cat. He really trusts you.😊

Mr Bojangles is so cute! And he's yours now. ❤

You have such a BIG heart for taking the stray cat to the vet and taking care of him with all the meds. Thank you!! I enjoy watching your videos. Love your quirky, fun and lively personality. You're great!

Cas, I love you so much, I need a friend like you in real life. You are my hero!!!! Love that you respect your children’s privacy!

Oh, how I love you, Cas! You have no idea how much I love your videos and humour. I’ve had this very thing happen with my cat, coming back from the vet’s….its the worst! “Just so you know, your cat didn’t pee the entire day he was here!”, they told me. Yeah, I feel your pain….he peed for blocks. Thank you for the laughs! ❤😂❤😂❤😂❤

Poor Mr. Bojangles. He's such a pretty boy. Once he heals up a bit, he's really going to shine. Also, you gave him a name. Don't give me "not ours." 😂😂😂 The cat has adopted you. That's how this works.

"Today is going to be a great day!" 😂😂😂😂

Bless your heart sweet heart Cass!!! Glad you got the carrier

Professionally detail the van. Those detailers know how to rehab it 🤦🏻‍♀️😁

Ask Melissa about the van. 😂 Love your videos; ALL OF THEM

You are an angel for helping that poor kitty. ❤❤❤
