We Revisit Man's Cat Playland and our Hearts Explode Again

[@HouzzTV]

See the original video when Peter had just 15 cats: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZyyh6ucqriMhs0

[@rachelkelly667]

I’m sorry but this man is a literal angel. I wish I had the resources to love on this many kittens but I’m drawing my line at my 5. It’s a full time job with just them

[@ZenByCat]

We feel very lucky to live here with our 24 cats. It is definitely a full time job and requires giving up some things (like floor rugs:)). But so worth it.

[@inb4y]

Thank you for bringing awareness to FIP and giving these shelter cats a beautiful home.

[@erpetek]

The fact that his cat survived FIP makes this so much better

[@katd114]

This was about 47 or 48 yrs ago. We had three kitties, all positive for FIP, and not showing symptoms yet. Two of them were blood related and the third not. They contracted it from another kitty we had that had passed away from FIP. The vet said it was a waiting game. They were still trying to figure the disease out - incurable and no vaccines yet. So we waited. We took all three back by request of the vet and had them retested. The vet wanted to be sure because there may have been false positives and they thought it would be worth the shot. We hoped for good news. They all three were positive again. Lots of tears and worry. We started spoiling them with about two tablespoons of raw chicken liver shredded up for a little treat before their bedtime every night. We decided to take one of them in years later for something - teeth cleaning I think. The vet wanted to do blood work first to make sure kitty was healthy enough to tolerate the anesthesia for the teeth cleaning. They also retested for FIP with this. It was negative. So they retested. Negative. We discussed the earlier history and they wanted me to bring the other two in and they were retested. Both negative. They wanted to know if we were doing anything unusual with them. I could only think of the raw chicken liver treats they got every night without fail. They didn't think that would have made the difference and I guess wrote it all off as an unknown. Many years later the three kitties were alive and healthy. One kitty went missing and they other two lived to be 19 and 20. The chicken liver was purchased at the grocery store in the meat section in the little round tub. I was told by a vet many years later they were having success turning diseases around with raw natural diet for treatment in terminally ill cats such as renal failure. It's worth researching - the information is there and is compelling. This and not expensive to try at least. I hope this info helps.

[@mysigt_]

Literal catwalks. I love it.

[@judythompson5253]

I've had up to 9 at once, and they pretty much police themselves, and my greatest pleasure was watching the relationships shift and change. I love this man and his cats.

[@seandavis3347]

God bless you for passion to help with research for FIP. We lost our precious cat to this horrible disease. You're amazing, and I love your home, your cats, and your cause!

[@midnightcat6116]

When you said “22 cats, 22 sentient beings,” i nearly lost it 😭. That’s how i feel about them, too!!! Thank you, beautiful souls 💗🌿👍

[@lcknky]

Adopting shy cats because people don’t want them 💔 ugh as a shy person I can relate lol These cats are living a life ! I wish to one day have something like this for mine ❤️

[@whatzupLizzy]

Love this house! The comment of ‘22 sentient beings’ made my ❤️ sing!

[@ZenByCat]

Thank you. Now 24:)

[@LeahBabington]

I know this is from a long time ago, but I've just found you! In 1987 I had a young cat that suddenly had FIP. My worst memory was of it passing at home, in pain and crying out, because the vet we took her to gave us false hope that it was something she might be able to survive with a vitamin paste and comfort. I was 12 years old and to this day I can still hear the cries in the middle of the night that she passed. I am also angry that a vet would do this to a family and an animal. False hope is worse than harsh truth when suffering is involved. I am SO HAPPY that you all are making such a difference so others are aware and don't suffer in this ignorant way. Although I can not donate money, I am glad to watch the videos and share the word and good work!

[@CherryBlossomskt]

You are a blessing the mankind and catkind 🐈

[@redskyalice2529]

Cat heaven! I also love the colours in the house. I wish the camera would stay focused on one spot long enough for me to absorb rather than pausing the video constantly. It's really colourful and awesome. Meeou!

[@tracigresham7164]

Man oh man your house is amazing!!

[@lisxsales]

This is one of those contents that never disappoint 😍

[@cessolis8531]

I really really like to see the camera follow a cat or a simulation of a cat making a complete tour following all the catwalks they design or build. Another thing maybe like how is a day for a cat living ther, you know? the experience of living there with all these cats and those catwalks, fountains, etc. I love the feeling of your house congrats!!

[@2012WCIH]

In my new life I'd like to live in this house - as a cat!

[@bvogt]

All the cats get along? How many housekeepers does it take to keep things sanitary? Serious questions from a guy with 4 cats.

[@OpgirlWarrior]

Benjamin Vogt I have four cats too and exactly what I was thinking. I wonder what he does for a living. I imagine most of his day is just scooping the litter boxes.

[@ZenByCat]

While most of the cats do get along, we do have a few who we need to keep apart. Fortunately the house is large enough and the catwalks are closable so we can keep the peace. We are fortunate enough to have two people come twice a week to help keep the house clean. We also spend about 45 min a day cleaning litter boxes and cat hair. 5 Roombas helps a lot:).

[@DragonFries12]

This is amazing, this man is a legend. If he ever moves (though I doubt he will) he could actually turn his house into the world's best cat cafe. I would definitely go there.

[@catherinecullen9770]

There needs to be more amazing people like this in our horrible world

[@ZenByCat]

Thank you for your kind words. It should not be extraordinary to love animals:). It should be the norm.

[@pmabx.0018]

This man makes me wanna be one of his cats

[@MisterB7917]

I used to have ten dogs and now eight dogs. Love this guy who is able to build this for his rescue cats.

[@edherdman9973]

This house is an exemplar of '90s style. Playful and colorful, and in such good repair too!

[@PADARM]

You not only have a heart of gold but also exquisite taste. Those colors match perfectly and they are very relaxing.

[@got2bmetodd441]

First off, u r amazing and a lovely soul! I want you as my neighbor. I lost a beautiful Himalayan kitten to FIP. Thanks for talking about it.

[@sosasoos3975]

Oh man! Your house is amazing i really need to do this for my 37 cats i need a house like yours i am i rescuer and volunteer

[@kimlock9440]

So glad you did a revisit. I just love your home and of course the cats, god bless your beautiful too 😸😇

[@nourolemanabbas1118]

Ma shaa Allah cats with you are so lucky. May you be blessed beyond. I would love to have like those.

[@ReptilesGeniales]

I would love to live in that house!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@DipityS]

A little heaven. -sigh- Beautiful home filled with beautiful people and beautiful kitties.

[@phoebewashington2709]

This is wonderful. This man is doing a massive amount to help cats.

[@perspireandinspire]

i want to go stay there for a week or so! i love this so much. It'd be great if this was how cat rescues set up their shelters.

[@PsychicMike732]

Man, this guy has got a beautiful home. I like it. A lot.

[@talibeauty5254]

Love this man.what an angel. Gives me hope in humanity.

[@ZenByCat]

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing our video to help us reach more forever humans who might help in this fight. www.ZenByCat.org

[@andream1588]

It’s so nice seeing people live out my childhood dream! I can’t wait until I get the opportunity to do something similar

[@twwoody813]

What a remarkable human being ! God bless you for giving these beautiful animals a forever home 😇

[@kitkatcasey427]

this family is such an inspiration!!! I can't wait to live with a couple of humans and a bunch of critters when I'm older

[@jekyle4074]

It makes me so happy to hear that progress is being made with FIP, I lost the first pet I rescued as an adult 13 years ago. I felt so helpless being unable to do anything to save my kitten. No one should have to ever go through that. I hope some day soon, with your generosity, no one will ever have to again.

[@msrainbowyellow6436]

Thank You good humans for rescuing so many cats that deserve the best 🙏💙🙏💙

[@carmenvilchez74]

That’s a dream human and a dream home for any cat

[@vdivine1]

You and your roomies (?) are so appreciated! You've done a wonderful thing by adopting those lovely kitties. Wishing you all the best, all the time! Smooches to your brood. Please update where you are in 2022.

[@nataliiatkachenko2252]

[@jeaniecoolahan2536]

Oh how I wish there were more people like you on this earth. You are a saint and an angel all wrapped into one! Blessings to you for being so caring, so loving, and so devoted to all of these beautiful kitties!

[@starvenus430]

[@Gregorypeckory]

Fantastic mission, the cats rock, and the colors and shapes in that house are stunning and unique! It makes me wish I could just spend a couple hours a day watching the cats have catwalk adventures.

[@sig9girl]

Thank you for being a beautiful human being. I have been rescuing cats for 3 years. I have 7 right now. I too rescue the ones that people tend to shy away from. 5 of my cats are black. I have built some great things in my home for them to enjoy. They have rescued me, as much as I them...😻

I love your house, and what you're doing to help cats. My cat, Dallas, aka Scooter, is my Baby. I got him the day my youngest graduated high school. I love him so much. He still sleeps on my stomach like he did when I brought him home as a kitten, and he is 3 years old now. I will check out your website, Dallas would love your house too. Thank you for sharing.

[@Urhuuuur]

That's a beautiful paradise for cats. With three human angels looking after them 😇

[@mcaulayflour]

Thank you for never giving up. I'm currently working with vets and internists on my 1 year old rescue cat's breathing issue. As a travel construction worker she has been totally loyal to me and travelled with me over 20,000 miles, so I owe it to her to not give up. I know when I settle and build that I will have a home with catwalks and stimuli. Thank you for the inspiration. Your home is beautiful, and your cats are truly blessed to have you as their guardian. Not everyone understands cats like you. As you said, it is when they trust you.

[@micheladerry5681]

all the house itself looks gorgeous! compliments

[@mrs.mcnamara1669]
