Turning an Entire Chair Into a Cat Scratching Post

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

UPDATE: we put her new cat scratch chair in one of her favorite corners of the house where she used to sit on a window sill. She now spends so much time there on this chair that it's already covered in cat hair 😺🤣 Also we got so much cute footage of Joob we couldn't fit it all in this video. One of our editors made a compilation set to copyrighted music that we'll share with Patreon/KZbin members soon! (join at patreon.com/evanandkatelyn or bit.ly/eandk-join )

Hello Evan and Katelyn! (Qqa!) I would like to say thanks again for the years of enjoyment and inspiration your channel has brought me. Since I found you two, you inspired me to start making and have become a huge part of my life. You have inspired me to start making resin art, painting, woodworking, acrylic pours, and even indirectly sewing! You inspire me to be a better person every day, and I am really thankful that I found you two on youtube. I would like to finish by saying that your videos and other content has continued to mean a lot to me and bring joy to my life, and that I am so happy that you two make videos that can spark creativity in so many people. (Also, I am really happy to finally be a patron of yours! Although my name has not yet appeared on the screen, I believe it will next week!)

[@official_aperson]

my cat would sit next to it and stare at me weirdly

[@Pir-o]

Thats great! You could also add a little hammock between the legs, if shes into that kind of stuff

[@teekotrain6845]

I know my cat would have loved this. I think the design and final product is awesome

Why didn't you make one of those cat backpack to carry her in 🎒🐈‍⬛

Evan & Katelyn are such a sweet couple. It's genuinely really nice to see them together, having fun, being affectionate (in a totally G-rated way; don't creep!), and always so funny and bringing me a smile even when I'm feeling gloomy. Even for an ace like me, it's nice to see. ♡ Thanks, E+K! ❤︎

[@bobblebardsley]

4:47 At least when you get your nice new chairs, Joob's scratching post will be a matching post 😅

[@anggela]

And then at the end when Evan said they could put it at the table, I was like see, good thing it'll match the new chairs 😂

[@khk8270]

Oh my god - the absolutely chaos in the "stapling the thumb" story is amazing. The cat eating the squirrel in the background sent me. Also my local Void LOVES that owl teaser toy as well. She also loves grooming the feathers ... and has licked them right off of the toy. We have two of them floating around the house that are totally wingless LOL.

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Haha Joobie always loves feathers too and will detach them (luckily she has no interest in actually eating them!)

[@VisionaryGardener]

@@EvanAndKatelyn my girlie always "kills" her toys immediately by chewing all the feathers off, then completely loses all interest in them after that. I've started glueing or stapling feathers back onto the toys to keep them in circulation longer. 😉

[@mookinbabysealfurmittens]

@@VisionaryGardener Lol! You need to buy a bag of "repair" feathers from the craft store! ^_~

[@noaccount2494]

Feathers are dangerous for cats to eat so always be careful if you have feather toys

[@official_aperson]

Go careful because the wires could be made of sharp metals that can rip throats, eyes and eyelids, paws,ears, ext.

[@abzurdo]

this channel is becoming "what would Jenna Marbles do with a full workshop?" and I'm loving it

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Time to make a full bed out of tape hahaha (context: Joobie loves tape much like Cermit loves soap)

[@musicthroughthenight]

Joob is the most photogenic black cat I’ve ever seen. Y’all do a great job filming her! And her natural charm help too 🥰

[@sublimationman]

Just a little tip for future "upholstery" when you put the cloth over the back, then fold it and staple through the fold. This makes it cleaner and less likely to pull out.

[@pvic6959]

OMG the title got cut off so I only saw "Turning an Entire Chair Into a Cat" LOL. either way this will be very interesting lol

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

haha, also a valid video concept

[@mookinbabysealfurmittens]

Omg I flipped "chair" and "cat" and it was _much_ more horrifying! Lol (don't overthink it!)

[@TykitFleine]

[@courtneycamera1]

“She loves it so much!!” I’m not surprised considering Joob is loving the catnip! Lol!🤣

[@miri3812]

Exactly what i thought too. My cat would love anything, if I put a tun of catnip on it xD

[@amberfischer2758]

The pure joy that Evan has over Joobie liking one of y'all's creations is just *chef's kiss*.

[@noahcasino]

you two could turn this channel into a completely Joob focused channel, and I wouldn't be mad at all

[@AR463]

As a family where the cats out number the humans 😁😁😺😺😺😺, we totally appreciate all your love for Joob and making her happy. We made a cat wall in our guest bedroom that has platforms, scratchers, and hammocks. The cats just love it. We now refer to that room not as the guest room, but the cat room. 🤣

[@BugHwi]

13:43 I love how you edited Evan's face into the mood ring toilet!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ReverendTed]

In high school art class, I got the clever idea to see if one of these "ca-chunka" staples would go through a #2 pencil. It went right in! But more than that, it had (surprise!) stapled the pencil to the desktop. I grabbed the pencil and started to try to get it free, and eventually rolled the pencil, at which point the staple ends, sticking out of the far side of the pencil, rolled over right into my thumb. Now, the pencil was stapled to my thumb. Very few things "get to" me, but something about that gave me the woozies real good.

[@Khy._]

I recently found your guys' channel and have been watching old vids and outta nowhere, a new one pops up! Love the dynamic between you two, I've fallen in love with the resin-based projects you guys do. Keep up the amazing content!

[@EvanAndKatelyn]

Thank you!

[@FullMoonOctober]

There is NOTHING worse in the middle of a DIY project than suddenly realizing there's a much better way of doing something, but you're already too far along to change course. You just have to power through and hope you at least have something to laugh about afterwards! Luckily, I'm sure you guys will think of all new projects to use the old chairs for!

[@jayjayheinz8552]

[@jodivandyk3649]

This reminds me of when I was in art college. A girl a year ahead of me wrapped a rocking chair, a floor lamp and a tricycle in the same stuff as an art project. No idea what happened to them. And I got a good laugh from the staple/cat eating squirrel story! I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time, but.... 🤣

[@jasonbraun127]

I know I could comment this under literally every single video of yours but even without considering that you guys post something every single month (on average) your editing adds so much personality and fun and is clearly made with a lot of love. There are so many little quirks and visual gags like the little Katelyn lifting weights during the montage, the text hammering along with Evan or his head coming out of the mood ring toilet. And all of that is on top of the creative projects you have to come up with, plan and actually build. I watch a lot of KZbin in my free time (probably too much) and your channel is definitely in the absolute top tier when it comes to quality and effort.

I love the fact I adore this channel so much that even adds for things I never will use ( sadly can’t have a pet at my apartment) but still I love watching! Also this chair looks like a chair from a beach house like put sea shells on it and boom rental condo for family vacation 😅😂 but seriously looks great!

This video makes me so happy. I have to put down my 18 year old cat Max tomorrow morning (4/9). Looking at these videos of cats that are happy makes me happy. My boy has had a good life. He's been with me since Kindergarten. Watching these videos will make it easier for me. Thank you so much

[@AlexG2490]

I usually watch the ads even though I am highly familiar with earbuds and website hosting because y'all make them so much fun. I am not allowed pets in my apartment so I was going to skip this one just because I know I will never need any pet products but then I realized I was in for a couple uninterrupted minutes of supurrvisor adorableness and I realized the colossal mistake I nearly made. Is this the best ad of them all? It is.

[@cayenigma]

To be honest, I missed the ad part, cause I stared Joobie the whole time XD

[@raraavis7782]

That actually looks pretty cool. Nice alternative to a scratching post, for small spaces.

[@emmarold2683]

I absolutely love the chaos and stories during these builds!

[@Shallenberger]

I don't know if you know this, but you can tell how excited a cat is for something by their tail base. Their tail base will get fluffier if they want scritches or are excited by a toy. You can see how fluffy Joob's tail base is at 15:44.
