Awesome! Thank you so much!!
I am going to adopt a cat from the shelter soon but want to have my house set up first. I can’t wait to start on these shelves tomorrow thank you so much
so I built one because of your video (thank you) but I didn’t see cat on the material list. is that required?
Try using brick walls instead of cheap dry wall
0:59 Sir Cat approves. Take his word for it!!
Replace the walls with metal walls, weld metal shelves like they must withstand a medium sized nuclear strike, problem solved, easy.
That cat is me doing the traversal force tear challenges in jedi survivor
That’s cute!
My doors are thicker than your walls
That cat look lol
Great job ! What a dedication ❤❤❤
Their evolution is amazing ❤
Oh honey, find a real girl. ❤️
Thanks for the Video! I’m in the planning stage of building cat shelves and climbing furniture for upcoming kitten. I was curious if anchors could be used. My apartment’s framing seems unorthodox, to say the least.
I can mail you a stud detector if you don’t have one…….. And if you do you should use it 😅
This is great! Thank you!
Wood packs inside drill holes are the strongest way to insert screws
Why no use a stud finder?
The issue is not with the cat or the screws. You americans build houses out of sticks and stones. Don;’t think there’s any other civilized country that builds houses on wooden-frameworks and drywalls. the f.
You’ve got one happy cat there, and isn’t he some handsome!
just screw everything into the studs. no amount of fancy drywall anchors are going to do the job. drywall is garbage. think of it as paper with clay mixed in it to make it feel "hard"
i install artwork. for drywall, those metal ones cannot be beat. the plastic ones of the same shape are also okay. the big toggle ones we would only use for really heavy stuff that, realistically, should not really be hung on drywall… for heavy stuff, you can alsp try to drill into studs, those metal supports.
Incorrect way of fixing wall shelves: The L shaped metal bar must first be fixed onto the plywood … then the plywood together with the L bar be fixed together onto the wall
Wouldn’t happen in Europe
Just. Use. The. Studs.
I have visions of cat hair flying endlessly through the sunlight shining in the window. 😮
Improving strength and stability of the platforms. The brackets that you use are TOO small. Always buy the biggest bracket that will fit. The horisontal leg should equal the width of the platform. The vertical leg should be 50 % longer compared to the horisontal leg. This will significantly improve the strength and stability. I have made an external stair for my cat. From ground level to the roof of my garage. My cat like to use it as an easy and safe route. It also gives me peace in mind because 2,5 meter onto a concrete surface could be risky – especially when he is getting older. The steps are also used for a resting platform, in the evening sun, with a great view over our garden.
Dont build your home out of plaster and cardboard
Homie really thought drywall anchors would work lmao. This is why education is important. Some people learn from history. Others from experience
My cats would love this ❤great video I might give it a go myself 😊thank you

So just for clarification, I need the drywall toggle anchor for my wall type? It’s a mobile home and I dont want to mess up my walls but I want to set something up for my cat I’ve had for about 6 months. She’s a rescue so she has hella energy and zoomes around the house so I need something for her energy.
You Muricans and your cardboard houses. Where I live, only homeless live in cardboard boxes. There are maybe two or three places in my house where I couldn’t put a wall anchor that would support _my_ weight.
Bro is the one guy who screws in his drywall anchors by hand and not a screw gun💀💀
Great advise. So many don’t take the jumping into consideration, and ones you buy even supply dry wall anchors that are not suitable. I used toggle bolts too. Does your cat also go down the wall carpet, or only up? I want to install this to stop the traffic jam on my cat wall.
0:56 🥺😘
Thank you! We had to put a new screw in one of our wall shelves. We will look into the third kind you used
Every cat we’ve ever had would start rolling around on those shelves and fall off. 😂
These do not meet safety standards. Lol.
I’d definitely have to add ledges / edging to those.
Your kitties need some Kitty Kafé and Katio now 😻
Hopefully you are still reacting to comments. I am doing this in my new house my my cats. What are the dimensions on the wood your using for the platforms. Also I guess the L bracket lengths as well.
You need a stud finder.
Your cat has the cutest squeaks. Were she human she would look like a track athlete.
Random youtube recommendation… and i did not expect such an informative video haha thanks!
Your cat is lucky to have more furniture in the living room than the human’s 😂
Way to become a flooring installer during the process😂🙏
I am too excited to do this for my cat. Thanks for the tips!
Eh sì eh! Una specie di platform-game per mici 😂
Love your Raja – he chirps so he must have wild genes. My kitties used to bounce up to counter, refrigerator and beam. One still does. But you ideas are ideal. What material do you use for the scratching post; looks like it’s rough like an emery board?
Mount to 2×4’s, attach to the wall
Just fucking screw the shit into the stud dude you’ve fucked your drywall over an over with new products instead of just drilling into the stud
His chirps are so cute!
