Cat: "Watch me gracefully promote this new item with poise and style"
Raccoon: "Watch me disgracefully fall upwards while smashing my fluffy mass into everything that exists"
Raccoon: Watch me destroy this awesome set up ! The rope wrapped around all those tube things will be my first priority. Shouldn’t be a problem with all my claws!!!!🦝🦝❤️❤️
raccoons really upend any stereotype about wild animals being more graceful
also: great video/sound to watch on 2x speed!
@@trashpandaqc the second racoon climbed the hemp rope pillar just fine. Like a little clawed monkey :3 i was quite puzzled that their climbing approaches were so different xD
By God, man, you described that to perfection!🤣
@@LuckyLarry They'll be blessed if the Coons haven't managed to unscrew it from the wall while the cats are in it.
the raccoon struggling w it’s thickness to ascend is so inspiring
I felt that otter’s struggle while passing his girthiness through that space.
@@TheCjhodges12 They're nothing if not flexible and determined, but not so graceful.
He learned to turn himself sideways before he did it again 😂
A+ for perseverance. 😊💖
They all kind of overfeeded
:)
That one chunky raccoon was a determined fella. What an awesome way to entertain and exercise your menagerie. I can just imagine walking that hall at night and getting attacked from above by a watchful furball. Such fun!!
Make sure you go around and tighten the screws every few months as they can come a little loose as they bump around on them x
I doubt he will be able to since he stripped almost all the screws. The most frustrating thing to happen during a home project, hate it.
@@Teasticles not stripped. you can clearly hear it's the clutch on the driver.
Use some threaded rod, resin anchor, and nyloc bolts. Then it’ll never come down.
Tools.
And please adjust the torque on your drill.
You need to add the ultimate cat perch high in a corner near the ceiling where the cat can sit all day and keep watch over everything below them. They will feel safe and protected up in the corner as kings or queens of their domain.
You got that from Jackson Galaxy, aka the cat whisper.
I think this wall might never be finished XD
I know from experience that 'This will be the last thing for mittens, or it will be overkill' doesn't last very long. Pets are adorable and they deserve to be spoiled rotten I guess. Somehow that just feels like the right thing to do ☺
@@alexblake5369 so what
😱 is the same and I am now trying the
Your clever
The raccoons look like little people in baggy coats (with a tail!) from behind. They're just too cute!
I love the cat/raccoon wall. I'd like to do that for my cats!💕🐱🐱💕
😌
Wow Katherine Uribe, you're almost like a "celebrity commenter" in animal videos, I see your comments under all kinds of safari/lion videos all the time and now you're here too.
You're no doubt a true animal lover, Kathrine. Respect.
Cheers.
The way the raccoon plumped down and sat on the bridge was too adorable
@@AgentRafa Guilty! I do love animals, especially lions. Thank you for noticing my comments.😸👍 Be well!
@@AgentRafa that’s so sweet & thoughtful 💜
Lol, watching that adorable raccoon clumsily trying his best to climb reminded me of trying to get out of bed in the morning. Just takes a bit longer than everyone else!
I have long legs and have to let them over the bed first before I can follow! LOL
This looked like a monster job, but you guys killed it ♥
It was very heartwarming to see all your different furbabies enjoying this together. My heart is melting awwwww!
I used to be someone who thought big cat trees looked messy. Untill 8 months ago; I adopted a cat baby and my apartment is completely cattified! It's amazing what animals do for people and what people do for animals in return.
I just love how you put up this whole elaborate structure on the wall, then entertain them with a pencil😂 Cat life…
😹😹😹
😂😂
Lol just typical cats. Buy them beds and toys but they're more happy with cardboard boxes and your headphone wires lol
I never thought of using neodymium death magnets as stud finders. That’s quite clever.
👏👏👍👍💝
Lol
Oh, so that's what they are...very clever 👏👏👏👌🤗
I was trying to figure out how this works. What metal is there for the magnets to stick to? I thought the studs would mostly be a bare 2x4 running vertically in the wall.
@@mackit I suppose it would be the nail that attaches the drywall to the stud because having metal studs wouldn't make sense for drilling in to.
It is amazing to see your dog, raccoons and cats play and live in harmony together 👍🏽❤️🐈⬛🦝🐕 God bless you and your beautiful pets😇🙏🏽
Now if only humans could do the same!! I agree, I love seeing so many different types of animals living and playing together, so awesome.
thats what i wanted to say, they re amazing
I don't see any cats playing with raccoons. I see the cats keeping their distance from the raccoon population of the house. Also, I must say, that statistically speaking, a full 100% of the raccoons living in that house are wicked fat.

Contrary to popular belief cats and raccoons usually get along just fine. My domestic indoor/outdoor cats always got along well with the wild raccoons in my area. The raccoons regularly came into the house to eat the cat's dry food. My cats mostly ignored them, or just watched them calmly. They never spoke unkindly to one another, or fought. I miss them all now that I live in an apartment, and they've all crossed the rainbow bridge. I have delightful memories of them though.
Yes, how heartwarming was that! Just a pleasure to watch them all.
That is so precious. They get a space to play and enjoy each other. The dog coming along to play was neat. Never would’ve imagined a dog and a raccoon being buddies.
Wonderful....and Heartwarming how peacefully and respectfully all those Animals live together ❤️
Until food runs out.
That's exactly how I always wanted my home to be like. People and animals--you're all very lucky to be there and have each other : )
All the best to all the fur-furs! : )
Wonderful coexistence among your beautiful animals.
I did this throughout my house for my cats. I made all the shelves and ramps. It's a bit crooked and definitely looks like a diy but my cats love it so I consider it a win lol you did a great job.
That's pretty awesome, what a great way to make use of a hallway space for the pets. Thanks for the video I've been waiting for a new one, you did a fantastic job!
It's like a super smash bros level for cats and raccoons.
look up on their website how much this stuff is and say that! its ridiculous, someone with zero knowledge and a skill saw, drill, rope, glue, screws, and varnish can make this entire thing in a weekend and save 1200 dollars
@@breakingames7772 lol I have zero skill and none of those things...and I def could not make all that.
@@breakingames7772 but I agree, 1200 is completely ridiculous and I’d rather just buy somewhere else.
The best part was watching the fat cats with striped tails play on the wall hahaha
And those fat cats seem to think themselves svelte enough to fit between. They are apparently body confident.
The striped tails aren't cats.... they are Raccoons
@@LadyG402 He knows. He was making a joke.
I made my hallway into a cat run. But I did it with random items. It started with an old twin mattress that is the base for the whole system. She loves to climb it so I covered it with durable and decorative fabric she can sink her claws into. She spends hours on it napping or uses it for play or just doing her royal “my feet can’t deign to touch the floor” thing. I have a tall sisal and carpet cat tree next to the window. From there is a short but fun jump for her onto the climbing wall. Then I have a series of varying height shelves she can jump onto. On the lowest one I attached a nice little fluffy rug that she likes to nap on. The one at the far end is her treat shelf. From the hallway she can transition to a similar system that circles my bedroom ending with my tall entertainment center. In the living room she can also transition from the hallway system to a system where she can walk all the way to the front door without touching the floor if she wishes. I use the hallway for her play run. But I love some of the items you have on your system. Mine is a work in progress. Your babies seem to appreciate your hard work
Just put up a cat wall in my home this year - not as complex, kudos to you! And a window cat flap that opens onto our fenced backyard complete with a cat playground. All the things I've always wanted, but had to wait to have my own house to do!
What a crew you've got there, that they all get along & enjoy each other. So cool!
So lovely seeing Cheeto, Piper, and all the kitties having such a good time. Well done Mitchell.
Fun build! I would suggest adding some surface material like stair treads, yoga mat, etc. to give your cats and raccoons something to grab onto! That bare wood is very slippery! 😊
Seeing these happy animals makes me so happy! Thanks for sharing!
Who needs cat toys when you have a pencil…😻. I love your devotion in treating your pets with such love….💕 Beautiful job….
Catch myself coming back and back to this video. Really enjoy the interaction between the cats and raccoons and their new exercise/play wall. Everyone can get something out of it. Even Luna joins in when possible. Really respect your commitment to the well being of your animals. Great job.
I enjoy how you protect the wall and the construction is quite professional. Animal size will determine the narrowness of any structure. It's beautiful.
Raccoon: Get that camera outta mah face; I'm figgerin' this out!
Why is no one talking about 6:29 😅 the white old cat always gives me chuckles with those looks
love how you motivated the cats vs raccoons to try their new playground:
the cats: something to kill
the raccoons: something to eat
Hahahah yeah they have different motivators 😅
I am amazed at how well all the different species of animals get along!! Wow!! If only humans could embrace our differences the way these 4 legged animals have. 💖I love the cat/raccoon play wall. So very unique 👍
Glad you showed the step by step. I love this!!! Looks like a huge hit with the crew!
Fantastic! And such precise measuring on installation! Thank you for sharing!
Looks like everyone was pretty psyched about their new play zone. It's great that you're able to do that for all of them. What about the little white cat I saw sitting in the background supervising? A little timid when it comes to something new?
You actually did an insane job 👏 My cat better not watch this 😳
Ty :D
"Steal your cat right out your bed" 😆
My cats are watching and look like they are planning a coup soon….
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
your house seems to be so full of life!! I'm sure they loved it, well done
Hopefully this play-park has a closing time
I can’t imagine how crazy it would get at 3 in the morning!
I'm thinking that installing open hours signs will be just as useless as at real parks. The drunken 3 AM antics will be the same though.
🤣🤣🤣
I like how one of the raccoons just sat in the middle of the bridge lol
it is always nice to see families taking care of their furry family members. very heartwarming.
They could use a bit of traction, so they can climb more safely, their union is absolutely adorable 😍🥰🥰
At 11:20 I was so happy you started putting more things up to fill/connect the gaps. This is so incredible!! I loved how the kitty was just hanging out enjoying the show. 😂👍 I want to take in a Raccoon as a pet but I don't know where to start. I guess I'll check first in my area to make sure it's even legal.
I would imagine its the type of thing you just get really lucky and stumble into. I wouldn't recommend just going out and finding one to adopt, I don't imagine there's a huge demand for foster raccoon parents...
@@issadraco532 LOLOLOL!! 😂 Who's clueless?? 🤔
@@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM I gotcha 👍 But truth be told, I have been taking care of raccoons for 7 years now. From babies to the injured to the abandoned ones. I had my reasons for not elaborating in the first place. Either way, Happy New Year! Stay safe & well! 😷🙏👍
@@issadraco532 can you say that again please?!?!
Haha! The raccoon! “I will get through, I will get through!” Success!
What a Great thing to provide Many Hours of Playtime for all the Cats and Raccoons!!
Nice to see a pet owner care and utilize space in the house. Nice work.
Those fur kids have no idea how great they have it. I wouldn't change a thing!
Love it!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ chunky butt had a rough time squeezing thru!🤣🤣 maybe diet time🤷🏼♀️🤣🤣❤️❤️
I know right! The funny part is Cheeto is like double her size and had no troubles!
@@TitoTheRaccoon He has more experience since he has his room you built in the basement .you haven't shown him & Piper playing there since you completed it.
@@kahlanamnel6875 I did a ton of videos of it when I was building it. I don't like to do too many repetitive videos.
This is sooo good for keeping them active indoor..well done!
Just the fact that you got 2 raccoons, a dog and 3 cats to get along with each other is amazing. The wall is awesome too!!!! 👍🏻
Have another look. I counted 4 cats!
@@lynmorris2917
I rewatched it and I see 3. I missed the white one before. 😊
What a very creative project. Your cats are so curious and willing to try it out almost immediately. Same with the raccoons. Even your dog wanted to get in on the action! Nice job. 👍
You can just feel the love and care you have for your pets, i love it☺️❤️
You need to cover those wood platforms with some carpet so the cats can jump without slipping off. That helps so they can grip with their claws.
Nice job, those are some happy babies! And those coons don't miss a meal, do they. 😂💖
WOW …. What impressed me is how clean your place is with all these cute, loving animals. Wishing you and your family the very best. These animals are lucky to be in a such loving home. 💕
What a wonderful fur family you have! That is so sweet seeing play together like that 😊
Beautiful kitties and cute racoons
The pets aged like us, some even develop arthritis! So it is worth considering the position of the pieces carefully! Nice job!!👏
This is so cool. Nice company! Like a catio but for the wall inside the home. Really loved seeing them playing and trying it out. The little bridge reminds me of a drawbridge or a similar set up on a park play set. I had the same exact reaction walking on those as a kid as your cat did, LOL!
This is so sweet. I hope to some day own my own home and adopt more fur babies and do something like this.
I like how you left room for wheelchair accessibility. To be wheelchair accessible, the hallway has to be about 3ft wide and so high.
That is so awesome. I can't think of a better use for a wall.
6:28 OMG SUCH A CHONK
Wonderful use of space and very astedicaly pleasing to the eye. They all seem very happy with there new jungle gym. Gives me an idea
The gray & white "tester" cat sure was trusting, and only fell once! Great video, ultimate cat/raccoon wall. I have had both cats and raccoons as well, and my German Shepherds added to the circus. Much respect of your nerves and patience...it's one crazy life with these guys, always keeps you on your toes!
This is so COOL! What a creative project. So much fun to watch the animals playing.🥰
Love the climbing wall, good idea
So cool!! They all are having fun! Please don’t let the cats have any of the grapes, they are poisonous to cats and dogs, so are grapes!! I need to do something like this in my house for my cats, they need the exercise!!
I just stumbled across this video and it just made me so happy. Instant mood lifter. Its 2 a.m. and I'm sitting out in my car laughing and got the neighbors dogs barking. Thanks for this very much needed video
Looks amazing!!
Well done mate. Your love for your animals makes the world better.
🤍🤍🤍
I design hvac systems. I was at a new home custom build doing my job.
then I noticed a cat meowing behind and above me. he got the house
with catwalks in nearly every room of the house. some even passed
through walls and went up an entire floor. I was more impressed with
that than some home theater rooms I've seen built. hey, if the cats
bring you joy then I think it's great.
I've lived with cats and raccoons all my life (I'm 70). I love them. Bless you for being good to them, that's awesome! Your dog is as cute as a button too.
The wood perches look beautiful, but so smooth. Consider shallow grooving the wood for better grip.
I've been feeling a bit down this week but this video cheered me up a lot. I might build a cat wall for my kitties. I love how one of the raccoons was just sat in the middle of the bridge. Beautiful :) .
Such a great climbing place for all your fuzzies!
Awesome job! Thanks for the steady cam, much easier to watch❤ they ALL really love your creation!!
This video is amazing. A house full of fur love! I just adore the raccoons relationship with the dog. And that wall is just perfect for them! It’s nice seeing someone who loves animals, no matter what kind they are, and having them live in harmony together. Just beautiful!
Just noticed this vids a year old…..lol better late then never!
That is amazing! You did a great job setting everything up for your lucky pets! Will you come and do that at my place? 🤗
High-powered rare-earth magnets as stud-finders? Huh; well, I learned a new thing today!
What a wonderful thing to do for your amazing animal family members! Love it!
Cheers
Excellent!! You’ve sold us!! We will be doing this!!!😻
You are so clever and such a great pet parent. Those kids are super lucky to have you two. It was fun to watch you build it and then see them enjoy it. The cats are definitely more agile than the raccoons. Was that Cheeto? struggling to get thru the space? Haven't seen him in awhile. Thanks for this educational entertaining video. And thanks to Catastrophic Creations
That is the best Cat wall I have ever seen. You did a fantastically awesome job. I know your babies will love it.
Omg you have big cats, too! I swear I feel like i'm the only one in my city with regular (imo) sized cats. Love this because I have to be cautious of the size of cat furniture I purchase as most of it just won't hold my big boys.
That was just beautiful to watch. Loved seen all the animals interacting with each other.
I don't know how four people didn't like this video it was so cute watching how much fun all the pets where having even the dog 🥰
What a harmony and they are very happy to have you lad, cheers from Russia 🎉
They are having great fun! 🥰
Very cool! I'll definitely be checking out that website. We need some new things to keep the kitties happy.👍🏻😻
Cheeto and Piper are much better climbers than I thought they would be lol
A lot of gymnastics for the raccoons with the big buts 🤣🙈. This is a tremendous built for your pet's health and entertainment. Hope the dog doesn't get jealous.
Brilliant 😊, what a treat for fur babies
Love the cat wall!
Could one order bigger platforms? These seems a bit small... I know it’s for hallway so they don’t take up too much space but my cats are huge and I know they would love wider steps...
I don't believe so, but you can check their website and see. We have pretty large cats as well.
@@TitoTheRaccoon Thankyou. I think there needs to be something between the little cloth bridge and the wooden bridge, for access for the racoons from one to the other. The platforms are rather small. I think I would save my money and make my own if I wanted this, there are many things you could do and use, imagination could run wild.
I’ve wanted to make a climbing wall for my 4 cats, they’re a year young and going stir-crazy wanting to jump off of & climb everything.
As lovely as this company’s furniture is it’s likely out of many ppls budget….unless you buy ONE item. My cats would destroy most of it in a month.
I would love to see videos on how to make our own cost friendly pieces of furniture….poor ppls cats deserve cool furniture too 🥺
I made a really cool kitty castle out of a couple discarded carpet tubes. Carpet stores are happy to sell remnants and may not even charge you for the tubes. They are really dense and sturdy, if you have a small electric saw you can do all kinds of stuff with them. Discarded branches from tree trimmings work well, too.
We installed most of the pieces in May and the end footage was filmed in august. Three full months and all the pieces look great still!! And that’s with 5 cats and 2 raccoons playing on them constantly. So I’d say the pieces are high quality and super durable!
You can self reward pieces that have twine
There are several YT channels that have DIY instructions on making these elements and installing them.
I have a huge dead wall in my house, and have long considered turning it into a "cat wall". Very interesting to watch someone actually do it. Most instructive, thanks.
I wish my bedroom had stuff like this 💅
Is anybody else gasping at the fact that he’s drilling those nails into the wall way harder than he has to? Lol
He’s doing a GREAT JOB for his furry friends 🥰 but I couldn’t help but hear that noise- you only have to secure them (nails) once or twice, not a dozen times. That wrecks your own drill. Plus, it makes it much harder for the person who has to remove them. I can see how much you just love your animals. You take such good care of them! You are such a kind and caring soul. Those animals- especially the kitties 😻- they are so blessed to have you.
I used an impact driver so you're hearing the drill and not the screws stripping out
Cheeto at 13:35 continues to impress me!!
I know right!
Ty for ur beautiful creation and the adorable cute babies .. you showed .. very unique souls and u urself are amazing soul..
When you playing with the babies that innocent beautiful baby smile of urs reflects unconditional love that you ve inside you for this world..
I am bless to see this miracle..
May you keep growing and may God give you all the peace and pleasure of this world that u deserve ..
I pray and request stay as you are and may you nvr change as this unconditional love 💕 is invisible in today’s world..
Once again thank you for ur upload .. and thank you for sharing..

this vid was the highlight of my night its so wholesome :)
Omgosh it’s amazing! My parrots would no doubt be up there too 😅🤣🌱💜
