I built a custom cat feeding station

[@RachelandJunAdventures]

Ever questing for ways to organize our cat things, I have built a cat feeding station. We love it. We love it so much. Thank you to Sakuraco for sponsoring our video and giving us the time to work on these DIY projects!!

Hai!

[@haileyrain9305]

I think you should call the feeding station ピーチラン(Pichiran)

[@animegothgirl2]

Maybe add a small bath foam mat ? Or something that will absorb the water ?

[@1944JerriMellas]

Good job Rachel❣️. I’m even MORE excited to receive my first Sakuraco box after watching you open the one for May❣️. I have a dear friend who just returned from Japan last night and I will open the box with her….from Utah, USA 🇺🇸

[@ILuvAyeAye]

My sister and her boyfriend got me into your channel when they were so kind to put me up during the pandemic shutdown. I bought them Sakuraco this year as a gift, and they say it’s so special every time it arrives. I completely understand the price isn’t in everyone’s budget, but if it is, the quality delivers.

[@Dragon_Sparkles]

i love that poki gets the "slow the hell down Please" bowl in his dish

[@JCXP123]

Doesn't look like it worked tbh 😂😂😂

[@gormanghaste]

maybe get Poki a feeding ball that he has to roll around to make the food fall out? That's what we use with our eager eater :)

[@adde9506]

@@gormanghaste A slow feeding bowl would probably be better. Poki would probably abandon the ball to steal from the other cats.

[@RachelandJunAdventures]

The main thing I wanted to prevent was him throwing up from eating too fast and so far it's been working!

[@caicat722]

I know they make special bowls for dogs where it's a maze and you scatter the food in there. Maybe that'll work?

[@narranaut]

Rachel making "That's what she said" jokes three times in a row and Jun not getting a single one of them is making me wheeze 🤣 Never thought I'd hear this kind of interaction

[@nckojita]

I love the cut from Rachel struggling with that circle to "I went out and bought a jigsaw" 😂 I think when you're using hard-wood, that's going to be a solid investment.

[@auditoryeden]

When Rachel started hand-sawing the bowl hole my heart cried, "get thee a jigsaw!" and lo, it came to pass. Now y'all just need a router and there will be nothing you can't build. Also you are a great inspiration to me as I attempt to regulate my one food-gobbling, brash, chatty cat and protect the caloric intake of my quiet, self-regulating cat.

[@SeanBZA]

I just have the one, and he prefers to eat off a fine bone china saucer, which was the first saucer I used to feed him as kitten, and he is used to eating from it.

[@ann-gt4hh]

The three “that’s what she said” jokes in a row were not expected but so funny how casually they were delivered 😂 My orange tabby is just like Poki, screaming for food as soon as we wake up and guiding us to his food and water bowls.

You should get a long mat and put it in front of the feeder and cut out 4 red fabric circles and place them on the mat.

[@arilawrence5853]

Seeing Haku lined up next to the other cats made me realize just how big he is xD The feeder looks great, Rachel!! Awesome job!!

[@abavariannormiepleb9470]

If anyone wants to build something out of wood and would like to protect it against spills I can recommend a natural wax from the German manufacturer “AURO”, type 171. It’s a mixture from beeswax and plant wax and is safe even for children’s wooden toys. I’ve been using it for over ten years and am very happy with it. Initially waxed surfaces might not be as strongly protected as when you use lacquer but its advantage is that you can easily fix small damages without having to sand the entire piece.

[@sirenamber]

Though Pichi is still a bit skiddish she looks so much happier and healthier! I love how cuddly her and Poki are! This cat feed stall looks so neat and tidy!

[@CandycaneBeyond]

Hahaha, the accumulation of household tools! Your journey begins as new homeowners

[@AstorReinhardt]

I love how close Poki and Pichi are! Would the Ichiran Ramen Cat Station benefit from a water collecting mat underneath it so you don't get water directly on your floors?

[@schelle1490]

Jun is too virtuous for this kind of jokes 🤣

[@SagePNW]

Maybe consider getting one of the tray's that goes under a planter box? You could probably find one long enough to fit under the feeder box to catch any water that falls down. And they are low profile so it would probably fit just fine! They're typically sold seperately as well. :D

[@antidrumm]

I was thinking the same thing, but I worry maybe since it would be dark and moist down there that it would be a breeding ground for bacteria they don't want. Maybe do like a floor mat instead that they can wash every so often?

[@unsystematic-]

I saw a thing the other day about super absorbent stone bath mats that wick moisture really quickly. Maybe two of those.

[@JovanKo314]

if they cut a small slit on the bottom it could be a removable drip tray? Rachel said she was going to wipe down underneath every time, but this way she can just pull out the trays and clean them instead. No chance for mold or bacteria growth!

[@RachelandJunAdventures]

We added some stainless steel trays to collect the water! So far it's working really well :D

[@SagePNW]

@@RachelandJunAdventures Super! 😊 It is such a cool idea. I love seeing what you guys come up with when you DIY.

I was going to suggest a carpet under the neko ichiran, one made of a material easy to wash and dry for use on the same day... but seeing how far Pichi can get the water to go, I'm not sure xD This is very cute! I love to see the things you build, Rachel is very creative!

[@mercifulbutbroken6675]

New videos here make me so happy. Its a rare glimpse of sunshine on a rainy day

[@LeftOfToday]

I like your creation... If you put a sliding drawer under each bowl as a catch basin like toasters have then you won't have to move it each time to clean up spills, just retract the drawer and wipe down!
