00:00Instant cats. Just add water.
00:05And they say cats don't like water.
00:09Let's just sneak on by.
00:11Nothing to see. Home free.
00:15Coochie-coo. This is going to be a great day.
00:20I jinxed it.
00:22This bed could use a makeover anyway.
00:27Remove this wood. Add a panel to the side.
00:34Anyone getting dizzy?
00:38A fresh coat of paint fixes up everything.
00:43All three walls. Let's see what we can do for the outside.
00:47A stencil pattern.
00:50Let's spread on some paint.
00:52Who says we need a brush?
00:58Besides, this is much faster.
01:00Peel off.
01:04On second thought,
01:06a brush can take care of the little details.
01:10Look! A cat face!
01:12As if you didn't guess who this was for.
01:15This hole looks scratchy.
01:17And not the kind cats like.
01:19This cat door will help make an easy entrance.
01:25And with the help of these toothbrushes,
01:30the cats will get the scratches they like.
01:35Let's take a quick tour, shall we?
01:39This grass carpet will please the wild cat inside your pet.
01:45What else can we add?
01:46What else can we add?
01:46Hmm, an old pizza box?
01:50Cover with tape,
01:51and you can make a few steps.
01:55Steps right to the cat's own private bathroom.
01:59Meet the new and improved litter box.
02:04Now, what else do cats like?
02:07How about this?
02:10Take some rope and twist it around a base.
02:14Tie it so it's nice and tight.
02:17And your cat has a new scratching post.
02:20What else?
02:22Maybe they'll like that pigeon.
02:25Oh, even better.
02:26Take a desk drawer,
02:28add pillows,
02:30cushions and some toys,
02:31and it's a brand new bed.
02:37Here's something we can add to the wall.
02:42Now your cats have their own private television.
02:46Oh, it's getting hot in here.
02:48You know, the cats might want a drink.
02:52So, let's give them their own fountain.
02:54After all, it's easy to get hot
02:56when you can't take off your fur coat.
03:02Always smart to try things out
03:04before trying on the cats.
03:07Now that they have water,
03:08they might want something to nibble on, too.
03:15And we're going all natural
03:16with cat grass.
03:20And there's plenty of room
03:21for a bowl full of cat chow.
03:24But let's keep the fridge stocked
03:26with wet food, just in case.
03:30Everything's really coming together.
03:32Let's add some more toys.
03:35Well, he's off to Wonderland.
03:37What's down there, anyway?
03:40Ooh, candy!
03:43Oh, this bowl should fill up the hole.
03:46It's the perfect place for some cat toys.
03:50And if the cats are feeling a bit hungry at playtime,
03:54this toy's the perfect thing.
03:56Just add food.
04:01See?
04:02They'll get a treat when they spin it around.
04:05That'll keep them active.
04:07Hey, can we borrow this pillow?
04:10Now take some tights and cut them up.
04:15We need an X shape
04:16with some material in the middle.
04:20Tie each of the two opposite ends together.
04:27It's like a bed and swing all in one.
04:29Let's test it out.
04:34You know, these buttons can help get their point across.
04:40They can tell us when they want water, food, or even playtime.
04:52It's a bit too small to be a staircase.
04:57But we can still use the base.
04:59Attach to the wall.
05:00And we've got stairs after all.
05:08Hey, you're not using this giant bucket, are you?
05:11Thanks!
05:13Now that we've cleaned it out,
05:14we'll cut out an opening.
05:18Huh, what else do we need?
05:20How about more toys?
05:24You can never have enough cat toys.
05:30And we can use them for a project.
05:32Hot glue them to the patch from earlier.
05:35You remember from the hole?
05:42Add them to the bottom of our can for a soft cushion.
05:47Now break out the power tools.
05:49We're drilling some holes.
05:52After making a few,
05:53run some thread through them.
05:57It's kind of like a checkerboard pattern.
06:02The cats are going to be so happy.
06:04Where are they anyway?
06:10I think you've got a little something there.
06:13Oh, that gives me an idea.
06:16Add hot glue,
06:17press it down,
06:18and it's as good as laminated.
06:24Perfect for keychains or personalized collars.
06:30This cat toy is interactive.
06:32Let's add it to our collection.
06:35Cats sure have good taste.
06:37This looks fun.
06:40Cat food?
06:42Maybe we should leave some things to the cats.
06:44Oh, it's just a toy.
06:46And we've got the perfect place for it.
06:49You know, it's a little small.
06:51We need to think bigger.
06:55Let's get a large glass container filled with water.
07:00Filled with stones and marbles.
07:02Add a plant.
07:04And the finishing touch,
07:06these cute little fish.
07:14I spy with my little eye,
07:17well, her eye,
07:18eyes,
07:19a plastic bottle.
07:22Empty it and cut it up.
07:26Take the bottom
07:27and hot glue some string in the middle.
07:31Now use the string to reattach the two pieces.
07:37Add a pom-pom to the top
07:39and fill with cat chow.
07:41Hang it up.
07:44More snacks?
07:45These are going to be some lucky cats.
07:50Cool.
07:51A laser for our cats to catch.
07:53Let's try it out.
07:55Either it's the laser
07:56or she needs to clean her pores.
08:00Hard to catch?
08:01Just what we need.
08:07What's on your head?
08:08It's like a fidget spinner.
08:10Let's add to the wool.
08:16What can't be improved
08:17with the addition of stickers?
08:23These pictures will help give it a more homey feel.
08:30Some more toys.
08:31Cats sure know how to live.
08:36Maybe we can put this tablecloth to better use.
08:40Has the curtains for our brand new cat hangout.
08:45Yeah,
08:46this is where all the cool cats come to play.
08:50Great place for a nap.
08:52You gotta for a big day of sleeping.
09:00Still,
09:01look at all the fun stuff to do.
09:03Eat grass.
09:05Use stuffed animals as a floor.
09:08Or just relax.
09:11Looks like someone's ready to play, too.
09:14Or maybe just stretch.
09:20You gotta love all the accommodations.
09:28And there's still so much more to explore.
09:35Who needs steps
09:36when you have a giant scratching post to climb?
09:44Unwind,
09:45watch a little TV,
09:46have a drink.
09:52Oh, no.
09:53He's found the cats.
09:54I mean,
09:55what cats?
09:56Oh,
09:57it's love at first sight.
09:59Meow-rific stuff.
