Hi 😊 LOVE how thick your cardboard is...voting for Round ❤❤TWO ...for u two to put more finishing touches on their homes 😊😊

[@davedunwoody8054]

Love the castle😊

[@patsarver2429]

I have been a subscriber for many years and you always bring a smile to my face. Thank you Mr. Carrington for this warm hug of a video. Much needed on this sad day here in Maine 🇺🇲 where a gunman opened fire on people in 2 public locations In the town of Lewiston, killing 18 people,injuring 13. As of right now he has not been apprehended. Schools are closed across the state as a precaution. I feel the world has gone mad. Anyway, thank you and the kittens for being there ❤

[@cathym9603]

Oh that’s awful, sorry to hear that, my thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims. Please take care 🙏 xx

[@margaretbarclay-laughton2086]

I have been following that today I have friends in Maine my thoughts are with everyone touched by this event

[@juliederry3719]

Saw it on the news over here, thinking of you all in Maine sending hugs 💖🇬🇧

[@elainecondrin1927]

Why are automatic weapons available so easily here??? Majority of Americans do Not want this!! NRA, gun lobbyists and many republicans are to blame. Shame!😢🙏🙏🙏

[@claireb9034]

❤

[@mariachristou7175]

OMG, I love this. What a brilliant idea, hours of fun for pumpkin and mittens. My heart just melted at the two of them lying on the top together ❤️ Right, off to see what Dainty creates and to get my kitten fix from her too xx

[@botticellib]

Absolutely Fab 👌 "Cattingham Palace" 🤴 👑 🦁 Pumpkin: Thanks hooman, now where's my cuppa tea

[@ferganwalker]

This was a fantastic idea for a vlog. Mr Carrington & Dainty Dairies Cat Castle challenges were absolutely amazing. Loved both equally. But, most of all of the kittens were well pleased with their new play areas x meow 💜

[@pammclennan1642]

Loved the castle almost as much as P & M did. So cute to see both of them lying down on the very top level - adorable. You did a great job, Iwen.

[@sjerzgrl]

How cute! Pumpkin and Mitten’s love it!

[@frankelly9773]

My dear Mr Carrington, That was a great video. Pumpkin and Mitten really looked as though they approved of their castle, loved the two of them cuddled up together. Love from Franx

[@DaintyDiaries]

Oh I’m so excited for this! Iv popped the kettle and I’m going in ☕️

[@MrCarrington]

Yay 🐈 🐈 ❤

[@alisonh890]

A wonderful use of your old cardboard. I think it’s a hit with Pumpkin and Mittens. Beautiful cats. Xxx🏰🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

[@kerenmcrobert9024]

Awww pumpkin looks like the king of the castle 🥰 I love how much you love your kittens, you’re such a gentle soul and a fab cat daddy 😍❤️

[@Aeronwen813]

I think all three of you had a fun time creating and exploring the cat castle - "Feline Fortress" maybe? Thank you for sharing your ideas and obvious enjoyment, a pleasure to watch.

[@curban616]

I’m here from Dainty Diary!! She is adorable and I’m sure you gave her a run for her money with your castle! Lol!

[@MrCarrington]

Welcome 🤗

[@joyswindells4989]

Pumpkin and Mittens are gorgeous think they absolutely love their castle

[@helenesandford9870]

Brilliant job the kittens will be in there happy space 😊

[@deborahbovee9468]

Sent by Dainty Diaries. What fun! Both kitten abodes are adorable. I do remember seeing you two at the flower show. Maybe this collaboration will continue. Yay!

[@MrCarrington]

We love a challenge! 😀

[@saramathews1069]

Not joking possibly one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZbin!! Really made me smile

[@rachels9598]

Just darling!!! Palacio de Gatos, of course!!

[@user-ui1zv8bd4y]

Hi over from Catherine. What a cute idea. Mittens and Pumpkin 🫶🏽

[@emerybob1]

adventures to be had in their new castle. Pumpkin and Mittens are so cute! Laurie

[@kerstinmcintryre1869]

I love the kitty castle for Mittens and Pumpkin 🐱🐱

[@margaretstone6411]

What a treat for the kittens .

[@charlotte0069]

Fabulous idea, I miss my cats but I’m loving watching you and Catherine being great cat parents. The tray on top of the castle could be used to add treats in the holes, this will be a fantastic enrichment exercise for the ‘ kittens’. Off to see what Catherine has made 😀👋🏻

[@marygird7715]

Hi Mr C well done,Mittens and Pumpkin love it. You could call it the Cool cat Castle😊

[@MrCarrington]

❤️

[@alisonevans159]

Looks great perhaps the kittens will leave you alone now when your opening any cardboard parcels but I doubt it. Maybe if you cut the poster tube to size and make a cat sratçher with some jute you could fit it under the middle shelf to give it some strength .

[@mariajefferies8555]

❤That is fabulous Iwan, lucky Mittens & Pumpkin❤

[@ssg8051]

Totally awesome! Four paws up from Pumpkin and Mittens. I concur. Cheers, Ardith

[@user-gm5ek2uu8q]

Just loved watching you and Dainty Diaries making your Cat Castles...it was fun! You both did a great job! Please give Pumpkin & Mittens a cuddle for me! Thank you so much for sharing, I love your channel. Take care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada) 🍂🍂🍁🍁🧡🧡

[@amteo7107]

Well Mr C those kittens just adore their Chateau "Pumpmitt". Just goes to show that you can rustle together a cheap version without splashing out and they are just as happy with the result.

[@user-uq6no8jy2x]

Hello 👋 Mr. Carrington: Hi 👋 to Pumpkin and Mittens- You are such a talented person. Thank you 😊 for your videos. You always put a Smile on my face. I can’t wait to return back to London. Your country is such a Beautiful 😍 Country. Stay Warm and hug your kittens for me. God Bless You and have a blessed day. Lots of Love 💕 from: TEXAS USA 🇺🇸 🤠👋🇬🇧

[@lauradavison4044]

Loved the way Pumpkin helped with the design. Super idea and almost for free (except for tape)

[@susanbrittonhorn537]

Love the castle and the cats are having fun clever Daddy 😀😀😀

[@jeanroberts8262]

It’s fabulous they are having fun you did good 👍😽😽

[@LisaCSwain]

Iwan, this one was SO much fun!!! I have a living room full of boxes right now because our three kitties have been playing with them. Interestingly, our little tabby usually comes and watches part of your videos, our tuxedo (aka black and white) watches part of Dainty's videos, and my big manx boy that was sorta raised by Labradors watches Luke's! Much love from the States - Lisa, Thomasina, Penelope and Hawkeye

[@sgalligan6218]

Great job and it was wonderful to see so much of Pumpkin and Mittens - you are the king of their castle!

[@PaulaTaylor-he1gj]

Brilliant Iwan, your Catstle 😄 is amazing!! Pumpkin & Mittens are gorgeous & looked so at home XXX

[@dianebaugher3919]

You're such a good cat dad Mr C, you did a great job!

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Mr.C you did a good job. The kittens real like their cardboard castle and that's all that really matters❤

[@traceybradshaw]

We have 6 cats (2 rescues and 4 foster fails) and anything cardboard that comes into our house is immediately commandeered by them - they need to try out every box for size. We also have one kitty who likes to deconstruct boxes one nibble at a time - she doesn’t eat it, just bites it off and makes a pile of chewed cardboard. You should also have a look at puzzles for cats - 3 of ours go crazy for them, working out how to open all of the little compartments to get to the treats. Maybe you could make one!

[@marlenemacfarlane6199]

Great job on the cat castle

[@suecox2308]

I love how curious they are. Well done on the kitty castle--it's clearly a success.

[@jenniferjones1309]

I loved this video. You brightened my day. Seeing the cats in the castle and your friend in Ireland with her fur babies was pure joy.

[@lully381]

Delightful Iwan, they are going to have hours of fun with that!

[@paulinehaywood3040]

Mr Carrington, you did well 👏 the kittens seems to really enjoy their castle, well done 👏

[@joymaxfield7589]

Thank you so much ❤

[@lilybell3454]

This made me smile so much. What a lovely cat dad you are. Xx

[@terryannanderson8812]

They are so cute and seem to really enjoy their castle. Have a great day.

[@juliespencer1164]

great video and a good challenge the kittens certainly had fun with their new castle. xxx

[@barbarabalaam5241]

That is just adorable seeing them exploring it and then laying together in there 😍🥰😁

[@dollyseenauth435]

Mrcarrington , You are very creative . It’s amazing. I know, Pumpkin and Mitten will appreciate their new Castle, built by their Handsome Daddy. You always have me smiling especially watching your Videos etc. you inspired me so much, thank you. You are the best.

[@SuzanneChloe]

This is going to be Cat-tastic! Mittens and Pumkin WILL always be your kittens. Catherine's kittens are cute too. Got a cup and ready to go!

[@deborahmiller8650]

Hello Mr Carrington! I was watching Dainty Diaries as she made her adorable kittens a kitten castle. She said you were making one also and I popped over to see your version. Kathrine did an adorable rendition of the kitten condominium. Like the cutie kittens Kathrine has, your beauties are wonderful. I have two males, one younger than the other. Both are over 3 years old. They are my confidants, companions, bed mates and general entertainment. The antics are my best enjoyment. Love your cat castle and if I were to have to choose which is the best, I say you both are equal. The cats will have a wonderful time with their new toy. I subscribed to your channel and will enjoy the videos as I watch past videos to catch up on what you are doing. Until your next video, bye now. ~Debi in Ohio, USA

[@annalevermore7857]

That's so cool!

[@brendajordan2844]

I adopted a kitten several months before you adopted yours and I love your castle so much that I am inspired to attempt my own.

[@MrCarrington]

🙌🙌❤️

[@suzannejohnston7212]

I love the cat castle and so do the kittens 🐈‍⬛!!!

[@joancaruso170]

I watch Dainty't videos always and I am going to head over there next. You did an awesome job on that castle and you can tell the little ones love it.

[@SuzanneChloe]

The Palace is fun. The kittens are loving it.

[@christinerobshaw8246]

Awww bless your heart Mr C. your kitties have such a wonderful life and love you just as much as you love them. so so cute.

[@margaretdrew2844]

They look so relaxed in the castle ❤

[@lovecara1]

[@kaz6655]

[@LilacRagdoll3180]

I love the Cat Castle for Pumpkin and Mittens!💜💜. I have had cats all my life and my RAGDOLL cat is my baby boy.....🐈

[@suekey8072]

Lucky Pumpkin and Mittens having a castle of their own… looked fantastic

[@conniemorgan8402]

[@annroberts5965]

Mr Carrington, I have see your channel before and enjoy it. When Catherine mentioned the challenge with the cat castle, I thought wow that sounds like a lovely idea. I love creativity and making something useful from simple materials. I much say, yours might be most elaborate . However the kitties are having fun with both. Good job guys. Ann from Va. USA 🇺🇸

[@jenniemarquardt6005]

[@elizabethcochrane9015]

[@susanluby1505]

You deserve "Best Cat Dad Award ". You are so clever. Loved watching the kittens explore their new castle. Well done to you.

[@carolsullivan3735]

Love it! I think you won this one 🏰🐈‍⬛

[@ps2v831]

Absolutely adorable, You just gave them a early Christmas Castle gift. Much love sent their way.❤

[@vintagegal541]

You have patience, Mr! My favorite was Mittens (?) looking through the round window with her little paw sticking out below her chin. Gotta love our cats.

[@lindasmith5190]

Love it...I watch Dainty Diaries all the time.

[@deniseowen9424]

Great idea, which the kittens both adored and will have many more hours of fun with for sure. I will collaborate with someone here to make one of those for our two as they love boxes too..

[@victoriadelagarza5415]

Hi mr c I love your cats they are so cute ❤❤

[@AliHossain-aslam]

If you want to grow your youtube channel you need to seo

[@Raquel_Tejera]

As a cat mum, I can only love this video. Well done! I have enjoyed every second of Pumpkin and Mittens appearance. So many steps to get up and they just decide to jump straight up, 😂 my Max would do the same and his sister Molly, probably too. It's just Lucy that doesn't climb. I've thought many times about making them a castle, but knowing me, i wouldn't want to throw it away, and the house doesn't need any more cat gadgets. My house is catified whith wall attachments and other cat stuff, but they will always prefer a cardboard box 📦 😅 I'm going straight away to watch Dainty Diaries, I've recently discovered her through your visit to the Chelsea flower show and I've met her cute kittens, so adorable.

[@karlad3213]

Hello...I just came over from Dainty's channel and I enjoyed watching you build your Kitty castle such a great job. My kitty is 19 and she's never had a play area and now I'm thinking of making her a small area to lay on... She doesn't play anymore but does love to sleep. ❤️

[@BernardDauphinais]

Terrific! I love it. I'd call it a catsle.

[@helenking2346]

Great Castle, l bet you had fun making this. Great idea and so inexpensive to make, which we all need these days as cat toys can become expensive. Much love to Pumpkin and Mittens from Daisy and Mitzi😊

[@andanotherthing...]

Hello! I just found Catherine a few months ago, I think. I absolutely love her! She brought me here with this cat castle challenge. I think I might just love your channel, too! Thank you❤

[@MrCarrington]

Welcome and thank you for watching 😀

[@katieh200]

Hi Iwan ,I just love pumpkin & mittens they are so curious they seem to like their castle . If you papermache it then paint it it will make it stronger and it will last longer for hrs and hrs of fun and exercise ,hug to you & the kittens 💛🍁🧡🍂🤎

[@aprilfoxbilligmeier2059]
