Life in my car- with a cat | living in a Honda Pilot

[@HanginOutWithStan]

I love Meowsers. I love cats. I inherited a calico cat from the divorce. I was never a cat person. But Callie (short for Calico) is my best friend now. She and I are very close. She follows me everywhere I go, even to the bathroom lol. She sneaks into some of my videos occasionally. She always sleeps with me, the last few months she waits for me to lay down, then she lays down on top of me lol. Occasionally I'll take a nap in the daytime and she does it then too. I really enjoy your videos Rowan. I watch 4 or 5 a day. I do not comment on them all though. And...... I always let the ads run full length, hoping by doing so you get a big check from KZbin.

[@BeckeyBoydGooden]

I didn’t ever think about watching the whole ads for payment to her! I’ll start trying to watch more just in case she does get benefits!

[@maureencasey7500]

I’m amazed at how clean your car is. It always looks so beautiful. You could become a car decorator as a side hustle!

[@samibabe48]

I have the same car and have been researching car conversion, AND I have a cat at a friend's that I wanna bring with me this is so motivating to see someone with the same mindset! ♡

[@havayorkie]

What a beautiful cat!

[@marcellajohnston743]

I found your channel a few days ago. You have a nice setup. And, you're neat & tidy. Please leash your cat!!!!

[@karyn6143]

Plz get her a harness and leash. I'd hate to see you lose her. She's so sweet

[@justrowan]

I just got one today!! She wandered a little too far this morning and had me worried

[@holyspiritofyah]

I also got my cat a mesh playpen for rabbits she can be outside but safer closeby

[@justrowan]

That’s a good idea!

[@lauraaday3230]

I don't know if I told you yeah I'm a fairly new subscriber I live in a studio in Montclair Southern California I have three cats I'm very very clean you can't even tell I have three cats in my studio but that's the only thing I don't know how I would do on the road with my cats but anyways oh yeah cats are petrified usually because I guess they think they're that you're taking them to the vet or you're taking them and dumping them off somewhere but anyways yeah your cat is very cute

[@janetsmith8963]

I agree she needs a harness and leash

[@donnamiller8780]

I love the cottage-look wallpaper you've got on your back window.

[@ImViviTors]

Last time I took my house cat outside he climbed a tall tree and sat there meowing for hours. I managed to climb it with help and get him down. All my hands were scratched by the tree and the cat. I glad he didn’t at least ran away. It’s best to have kitties wear harness and be on the leash. I bought retractable ones for small dogs to train my current cats to be comfortable outside. Better be safe. But looks like y’all had a great time. I love how you decorated the car.

[@douglashoward5738]

She’s adorable!,Happy she brings you joy 😊

[@justrowan]

Thank you! She brings me so much joy!

[@marliesyanke4580]

The kitty is a beauty. ❤

[@justrowan]

Thank you!! I miss her a lot! 🥹💖

[@maureencasey7500]

Lovely to have a travel companion!

[@leilal8053]

Seeing that 😺 wander around like that was terrifying.....especially as she's an indoor kitty. She should be in a harness and lead in case she gets spooked or decides to chase a squirrel....up a tree😮. She seems like a super travel buddy though 😊...I woukd get those window vents and a car-window fan too so the air keeps circulating.....4 her, and YOU too. Happy Travels 2u both.

[@SpaceCadete101]

I love your lamp and the fact you can grow real plants inside!

[@angelahaston1447]

Vinegar and water in spray bottle for dishes works great and no worries of chemicals

[@Moonlightdance58]

Francis is so adorable.

[@jillanderson7048]

Wowzers!!! I was on the edge of my seat. How could Ratty be lost. Thank goodness you found him and the camera.

[@juliebelize4285]

Frances is a pretty kitty. Love your rig setup and sharing your day. Thank you ~

[@carolynward5277]

If you put your food in small plastic totes with lids that might help the rodent situation. It's easier for them to get to your food cause they can smell it better

[@donnamiller8780]

You brought your cat! She's beautiful. And I just finished commenting on one of your other videos I saw before this one that I'd love to van travel with my cat!

[@BeckeyBoydGooden]

That purr is just purrrrfect! Sweet baby!! So glad they bring you joy. My babies do too!

[@Moonlightdance58]

I am impressed with how cozy your home is!

[@csmarsh1957]

She is ADORABLE !!

[@lindalangevin4505]

Your cat is beautiful. Love your videos. From Salt Lake City, Utah! US

[@neenee_marie77]

I loved watching your kitty!

[@sattooh]

I love your co-pilot. She's so pretty and stays right by you !!! It's awesome she just hangs out and doesn't want to wander off. She's a happy girl. Love the way the windows covers turned out. I'm so enjoying your journey, even though we're in Tacoma now. I'm catching up on older videos. So cute seeing your kitty resting comfy behind you. See ya tomorrow 🫶🐾🐾🦋

[@lauraanderson4256]

Meowzers is beautiful and seems to love being in the woods with her momma. 💖💖💖🙏

[@justrowan]

Thank you Laura! 💖 I think she’s having fun exploring and spending time with me. I know I’m enjoying her company! 🎉

[@eulandia.v962]

Love this video!!!! FRANCIS is adorable 🥰 and I’m so glad you got her with you!! You 2 have a safe and wonderful time out there!!

Aww a kitty .. I'm allergic to cats and dogs but love to see them your home car looks cozy with the candle the rain ..❤.

[@teresawarren8144]

Yes yes! Please get her a harness and leash!

[@livinginaprius]

I really respect your choice of living in a car, and the fact that you are sharing that experience through your KZbin channel. I know that living in a car isn't easy, and documenting that experience takes a lot of time and effort. I have a KZbin channel called "Living in a Prius". I have lived in my Prius for 2 years, and I am starting a new series (on my channel) where I interview people about their car living experiences. I would like to learn more about your story and your life - sharing thoughts and insights about both of our experiences. Let me know if you would be interested in scheduling a video call through Google Meet or Zoom. You would (obviously) be welcome to share the video from our meeting on your channel. I genuinely care about you as a fellow human being in this life. Be safe, and good luck with your life's journey. I look forward to connecting! Jason

[@justrowan]

Thank you so much Jason! I appreciate the support and encouragement- it’s awesome to connect with other car and van lifers! I will check out your channel! In terms of an interview I need to marinate on the idea a bit. I am still getting used to the idea of having a channel and building a community and honestly an interview feels a bit overwhelming for me right now. I think it’s great you’re doing that though, and probably down the road when I’m a bit more on my feet with KZbin I would love to! Also, I really look forward to tuning in to some of the interviews you do! Thanks again fellow car lifer!!

[@livinginaprius]

@@justrowan No problem. Don't feel a need to go outside of our comfort zone, beyond what you are already doing. Reach out, if you ever want to connect and do a video post together. In the meantime, you should be VERY proud of yourself. Deciding to live in your car, and creating a KZbin channel to document what you are doing, is an INCREDIBLE accomplishment. Few people will ever be brave enough to do what you are doing! By the way, reach out if you need support or want someone to share thoughts and insights. You are a part of a unique community now, so I am happy to be helpful in any way that I can. Also, I am glad that your cat has joined you. That seems like a great traveling companion! I look forward to seeing where your journey in life takes you. Just remember, as challenging as life gets on the road, you are not alone. Me and your other followers on KZbin are here. You have a supportive community that cares about you and believes in what you are doing. Be safe, and happy travels! Jason

[@justrowan]

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate you reaching out!

[@Sage1212]

Great video. Its nice seeing you with your cat and she adapted so well to car life and the woods. Well done Meowzers 😊

[@justrowan]

Thanks Sage!! I’m happy to have her around and I’ll give her a pat on the back from you 😻

[@Sage1212]

@@justrowan haha thankyou 😊

[@cyndinorton4128]

Put her on a leach or lite cable that you can let her out but not loose her, she will climb trees or chase other small animals….do yourself a favor and get her one and make her wear it….

[@marymahar8446]

She's a Beautiful cat and I know you want to keep her safe. I was praying and praising her for coming back to the car. ❤

Peppermint oil around your tires and around the car seems to help deter rodents as well. You might already know it but just in case it helps.

[@carolgerman4578]

Great to see you so happy with Kitty❤️

Thank you! She has definitely brightened my day 💖

[@leekorkmann3704]

Aw cute xxx look forward to following you both in your adventures together

She is really good. I drove from San Diego to Los Angeles many years ago with two cats and both were howling the entire trip.

She is a really good cat!

Nice video girl let in your little kitty adventure. It was very beautiful around there. Yeah I put her in a harness and not a long leash and get some stuff so she doesn’t get no fleas or ticks or anything out in the elements. You’re great.

Beautiful kitty!!....i also stay in my car with my kitty as well, and i have learned some things! Mainly get a harness and leash so she is safe when you open your doors and she can't run away!....Hope all goes well with your journey be safe!❤🐈🙏😁

[@KarensTinyCarCamper]

I wish i wasn't allergic to cats! Especially when i heard Meowsers purring! I will be bringing my doggy along.

[@justrowan]

A dog is great companionship on the road!!

[@KarensTinyCarCamper]

I am not car camping yet, but I'm practicing at home. I've been wiping dishes down as i go, and leave it all in a bowl, then at the end of the day i spray it all down with diluted rubbing alcohol that i keep in a spray bottle. Some people used diluted vinegar...

[@justrowan]

Thank you for the ideas! I’m always fine tuning my dish situation!

[@shawneeb3771]

She is looking at you like, you are bigger than me you get them, she is adorable. The nomads I know say you have to find out how they are getting in and fix it. I can tell you if they get under your hood, they can cost thousands in wire repair. It cost me over five thousand dollars from mice and squirrels eating my wires. Also, want to say my family and I really enjoy your channel.

[@jeannievanzant696]

You have a beautiful fur baby. She’ll be just fine.

[@justrowan]

Thank you! 😊

[@noemip.rojas-arrambide9145]

@JustRowan - I’m bing watching from the beginning. I picked up a tip from another KZbinr and tried this cleaning method on a recent trip. Spray bottle with a water and alcohol mix. The alcohol disinfects and doesn’t leave a smell b/c it evaporates.

[@christiannemayer6062]

You are doing great. I have 2 boy cats...they have been harness trained ...mind you,I don't live in a car. Enjoy

[@Lolakam24]

I saw on another channel that if you put flashing string lights around your tires at night it scares away the rodents.

[@brandy_lish]

yeah but wouldn’t that bring attention to your vehicle? idk i’d be worried about that

[@Lolakam24]

@@brandy_lish In a residential area it might, but not if you're camping in the woods or other remote areas

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

My cat passed away last August... next month will be a year since he’s been gone. I miss him so much. Your cat is adorable ❤

[@justrowan]

I’m so sorry to hear that.. losing a pet friend is hard. I appreciate you sharing about him 💖

[@chasethecat3839]

So sorry itsbeen 2 years since I lost my first cat (not my child's cat but MY own cat). He came to me after my daughter left for college. He belonged to my neighbor but he snuck over to my house so much, she gifted him to me. Sorry to go into big long story. He was a special boy. I miss him still but have 5 others now lol

[@justrowan]

I’m sorry about your cat. I don’t currently have my cat with me because I didn’t feel ready to have her along, especially with doordashing and not knowing what all my plans would be. But I miss her!! I completely understand the feeling of missing a cat! 💖

[@laurafacteau5551]

don't lose her they do run off plus wild animals or birds can take her should have her on leash

[@toddwalker2847]

Still enjoying watching your videos. I do recommend Ohio and Michigan, especially Northern and Upper Peninsula Michigan for your car trips. You will not be disappointed. The UP has state parks with awesome waterfalls

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

We've got a 2016 pilot, and getting ready to explore our state of maine.

Awesome! That’s exciting- Maine is beautiful

[@vapicc42]

I am enjoying watching your adventures. It looks so much fun. In one video you said you were in Bellingham, Wa. I lived there and my parents retired and own property and a home 🎉there. It's beautiful there. Safe travels and I look forward to watching your travels. ❤️

[@jasminkitty8190]

This is how Cats go missing, when not expected they BoLt when there is a chance sadly. Not all but jst a precaution. I see this in many videos - not saying yours will but always a 50% chance & they would get distracted by something. PLs don't be upset I post. Jst I seen many Lost trying to do videos w Cats or dogs.

[@terrymathis4213]

She cute. Try her outside by putting a caller & leash together for her.

I have that same kettle and never thought to use it that way for coffee. Just tea. Wondering if it ever worked for it.

[@justrowan]

It can be used for both! The coffee grounds are a bit messy to clean out, but then again so is the loose leaf tea. Lately I’ve been using three or four tea bags in the strainer to make a strong black tea.

[@sheilaramirez2303]

Question? How do u keep stuff cold? And using the washroom, to keep warm in the winter?

[@justrowan]

I have a small igloo cooler that I fill with ice or bags of frozen veggies when the weather is warmer. Right now where I am it’s really cold so I’m not really using it. I usually use bathrooms in a store or restaurant but I also go to the ymca or a recreation center for showers and washing up.

[@crowtubecrozier2857]

Make sure you have proper ventilation! The cat will be the first to get knocked out. Do you have bug screens for windows?

[@justrowan]

No but that’s a good idea- especially for the sun roof.
