all right well the cat tree is finally finally finished um we added it up and
0:07
it was probably about 50 labor hours all
0:10
told to uh put this thing together so
0:14
you can see that it is now completely carpeted so here I'll give like a quick
0:18
tour of the cat condominium that uh has
0:22
been constructed here so this bottom bit is actually still missing a piece
0:25
there's going to be a ramp going from this door down to the edge here but we
0:30
haven't put the ramp on yet it's just a small small thing in the grand scheme of
0:35
things oh there's a cat in there but I don't know if you're going to be able to see him anyway okay so we've got the uh
0:40
the the lower uh platform here then there's a house in the Middle with a
0:44
couple of doors uh one on each side and then a couple of uh three Windows and
0:49
then from there they can either climb these CLE covered poles or sit on the
0:56
platform up at the on the in the mid level here then there's another house so
1:01
uh the the penthouse is up at the top here and then we've got uh this is like
1:05
a another uh woven sizel uh pillar so that's going to be
1:10
primarily for scratching and then there's two more platforms up at the top
1:16
and then from there we can hang like uh you know little mouse toys or you know
1:21
little sh silvery shiny balls and
1:25
hopefully entice the cats to come up and
1:28
uh attack them let see I got one kind of eyeing me here
1:34
here he comes there you
1:38
go so so far it's a big hit with them sprayed catnip all over it so uh
1:42
hopefully we can get them to use it but uh yeah overall cost of this project
1:47
including uh some carpet from End of the Roll I ordered some sizel remains from
1:51
another online shop uh yeah so about 50 labor hours and
1:56
then about uh$ 350 or so dollarss so it
2:00
wasn't cheap but to actually buy something like this at the store I went
2:03
around to all the local pet stores and they had stuff that was maybe about as
2:08
high as um just this house and just
2:12
really poorly constructed it seemed so shoddy and they were asking 250 to 350
2:17
bucks for it so I'm pretty glad that uh I worked on my own here anyway thank you
2:22
for those who have been following along with all of my cat tree stuff and uh
2:27
thank you for those who don't care about it and have been p with me as I complete
2:31
this project yeah I know not Everyone likes
2:35
the cat videos but you know what are you going to do my cats are playing on it so I
2:40
thought I'd get a short video showing
2:43
how much they like it and they they better for how much this thing cost and
2:47
how long it took to build let's see if I can get him to
2:52
chase the laser
2:56
pointer someone's got to go for it come
2:59
on guys
3:02
it's amazing how well they can climb it now that it's all covered in carpet and
3:07
uh and the Siz little fabric there we go
3:10
can you taste it all the way up there there you
3:19
go yeah these guys just love it though which is uh really good I'm glad it
3:23
wasn't a total waste of
3:28
time you
3:33
oh thanks for that cover your
3:50
shame they can just really climb on this thing
3:53
though they'll climb even right up onto the top of the poles
3:58
sometimes can you jump there yes you
4:21
can so
4:28
cute
4:37
I don't think I actually did a shot showing the whole thing in the house so
4:42
that's it next to the fireplace for scale it's kind of ridiculous but uh
4:47
yeah we're pretty happy with it so it's all good
