Amazing!!

Butterfly anchors. Permanent.

You need to drill in your studs, you brilliant idiot...

Listen bro, as a bro[ke] man myself, I can tell you that you wasted way too much time, energy and money trying to get your drywall to support a frikin cat. Home slice, you need to look up what "studs," are. They're the two-by-fours in your wall that go up and down that the drywall gets drilled into. Find those, and screw your cat platforms onto those. That would have been the first place I would have mounted those things to. Get a strong neodymium magnet and find the screws they used to secure the drywall. Get two up and down in a row, and you've got a line of where a stud is at. Rinse, and repeat for all mounting points. When you mount things to the studs, they're sturdy enough to allow YOU to jump up and down on them, with your wife (if you know that I mean). Also That carpet could have been put on there with some foam to cushion the impact on kitty's joints ❤

The problem is that those desirable 2x4 studs aren't always where you need them to be. In my old house, the studs are 24 inches apart. Hence, anchors.

Cheaper. Probably easier to build.

@@jeremysmith9694 In Germany there is a saying "I am not rich enough to afford buying cheap things." :D But I understand. It is probably "just good enough".

@@noldo3837 haha. America is the land of cheap crap. For better or worse. But it's a good question.

Agreed, if he had a proper wall, nothing would come loose.

I love how he thinks dry wall can take kitty's bouncing weight over time and figures out nope they are getting slowly ripped out of the dry wall the best method is right into the studs to take kitty's weight over time they will not rip out like with drywall

@@raven4k998 Don't hide in the replies and post this comment where he can actually see it

My kitty also chirps when she saw something worth investigating lol

@@clarkcollins1804 build her a wall like that and she will chirp a whole lot more

Great ideas and a beautiful and very adorable puddycat!! ❤

What about Chase bruh

@@TheGrandUsurperOfDeath Chase is basically always happy lol

Yep..in load bearing walls, 16" on center. Newer homes will sometimes use 20" centers on non-load bearing walls.

Yeah, this. It's also a whole lot easier to screw into studs than deal with complicated and messy anchors. I think it might be OK to get one stud each, then a couple molly bolts for stability. That's how I do most of the stuff I've installed in my house, and I haven't had anything come loose yet. The stuff that always comes loose are the undersized and goofy push-in/screw-in anchors, installed by the previous owner's contractors.

YOU CAN GET AN AMEN HERE. DIRECT MOUNT TO STUDS IS NECESSARY. I AM A JOURNEYMAN CARPENTER, NOT A MASTER BUT EVEN AN APPRENTICE WOULD KNOW BETTER.

​@@TeddyRayThomas that's an admirable career ! Good luck to you. 🕊

Pro Tip : to test for stud discreetly, tap a finish (small) nail into the wall just at the top of the baseboard at 16”, repeat at next 16 inch. You’ll never notice the tiny hole that low, and you can always fill it if you choose.

That is a Bengal thing.

@@notachannel4u my Maine coon does it too

fts

​@@notachannel4uits a savannah

Mine does to. Only time she makes noises is when she sees birds. Or she sees her daddy

Kitty is talking, excited because he sees what Dad's doin'. Like the excitement when they see birds or squirrels they can't get to.

My cat Lizzy's other name is ROU Excited Squeak Before Pouncing so I'm here for it. Also, she had a Culture Ship Name long before Elon pretended to like Iain M. Banks.

@@wahdurci ahh, a li'le scared of things? See if you can tell why she's insecure, maybe give her a place where she can see out, but can feel like she can't be seen, a place that is small and cozy for her as well. That might help.

Bengal cat do a lot of talking and squeaking too... 😻 love your cat wall!

No it’s not! A cat should be outdoors.

​@@Gem_ini the opposite is true in a vast majority of human living locations, where domestic breeds are 100% a foreign invasive species that will destroy local wildlife. Your cats are more exotic than snakes or turtles to most local wildlife, keep your cats indoors where they have been bred to thrive. If you are selfish and demand to destroy nature around you with your livestock and pets, then buy your own land off by yourself to do so, like people who do dogfighting or backyard breeding, two other things that selfish people do without thinking of the livelihood of nearby animals.

@@Gem_ini In cities absolutely not.

​@@ananimal9779 Your points about cats being threats to wildlife are very true. But let's keep it real, no cat "thrives" being confined to an apartment or house. Only a person who has never seen a cat outside, would really believe that. Cats can certainly live inside, but not thrive.

@@eva-w they are bred to thrive given the limitations of being indoors. Humans tend to be happier if they have slaves do their work, but I'm not going to argue that you can't argue against slavery without seeing how happy a slave owner is relaxing at home and taking that into consideration. I don't care how happy a hippopotamus would be in the kiddy pool, an invasive species is an invasive species. The happiness of my booboo kitty is not priority over the health of the environment I temporarily inhabit.

That's what I was thinking

Terrible way to mount anything with significant weight or movement. I too was wondering why he wasn't using studs. I had a spot between beams where I had to use a piece of wood as a stable bridge to mount onto the stud and then screw something to the bridge. Those anchors are only for hanging pictures or something light and stationary. With all that movement, those anchors will eventually come loose. He should have consulted with someone whose done a little bit of home improvement work. Even a non professional DIY video on UKposts could have told him that. For someone who makes videos it boggles my mind he didn't do a search on UKposts "how to mount shelves on your wall".

Ron Swanson has entered the chat

Drywall anchors were invented by the devil to increase the market for profanity and drink. He regards them as his greatest success since televangelists. He tempted Jesus to prove himself by hanging something on drywall, AFTER the "turn stones into bread" one.

I forsee a drywall "tutorial" happening fairly soon...

Why would plywood behind the drywall be better than the studs?

*good

Your cat is actually a parrot

@@brentkeller3826 Ahh, you may just have a headcrab variant then.

Then to "shirt now soaked in blood"

Is your cat female? Me and my friend have a theory that female cats are better able to shoulder cat because they're less stocky. This has been supported by one male and one female cat.

Hehe those 2 am howls are a pain! Mine gets louder and louder 🤣.

@@jenynz5334 SAME

Different breeds behave differently. The cat in the video is a Bengal and they are extremely playful and love climbing. Yours is most likely not

@@W1lLTh3b0ss ya mines def not 💀 shes american short hair tuxedo or smt like that idk its long but shes so tiny and its like 50/50 with her its eathier she sounds like she will shadder the house or shes a ham on the floor

My tabby cats do all of both categories this all of the time.

What kinda anchors did you end up using with mounted shelfs/furniture ?

Absolutely!

Don't you mean how cats watch us work give seal of approval and then supervise us hoomans to make sure we do our best for them but I still don't think it's going to stop their 2.00am zommies then at 3.00 am feeding time. Will say one thing that guy is brave not quite sure who gets knackered first??? 😅😂❤❤❤

@@nessie986 Zoomies don't need to be stopped! I just watch them passing by, say: "Galoppel" and then fall asleep again. 3:00 a.m. feeding time sometimes gets a bit inconvenient, but I was trained by one of the cats I grew up with. She didn't want to be alone during her early morning snack, came to wake me up, we went to the kitchen, she ate, I petted her, and we both felt much better! And the man will be knackered first, but his kitty will also very well deserve a 10 hour nap for lifting the heavy weight of responsibility. 😉

@@uutdiegodzilla3821 she’s trained u well. Good hooman 🙂

@@Militant_VeganYes, I am a certified and proud cat servant since 1974! ☺️

...and it needs to be one of the higher screws.

I'm so glad I'm seeing this first. I have a new 10 month old kitten , a boy who's super hyper and needs this.

Ikr? The cat is a she btw.

A glass half empty kinda person 😉.... The cat was actually giving her approval of the next platform going up 😸 Meow....

Then you can't position anything at all using only the studs, dimfuk. You can't locate and mount anything whatsoever, using only studs. No pictures. Nothing.

Agreed. Couldn't figure out why he wasn't just using the studs

They're fine for static loads, but a hyperactive feline bounding around like a lunatic is anything but a static load! That said, studs are certainly better strength wise, but Mr. Murphy sees to it that they rarely seem to be in the desired location.

I'd think it would need Lower shelves first.

Yeah, the marking territory has to stop. Make sure they know You are head cat around the house, not them. Also ask the vet what's best to break them of that.

@@julieutley2073 Neutering usually prevents territorial marking but it's much more difficult to stop once they've established the behavior. Enrichment and exercise like in the video should help, an outdoor catio is also great for cats and keeps them safe.

@@julieutley2073 neutering at 6 months old is the way to stop marking. All the resr is stupid and is classified as animal abuse. U should not punish animals for what they do due to naiture

Bengals need to be provided enrichment. They’re a super high energy breed and not a good fit unless you have a good setup for them.

@@bambinaforever1402 not animal abuse. Training where it's appropriate is something I've seen other cats do.

Says someone without a cat, I bet? That's usually a recipe for disaster.

he does have another cat, I saw one in another short

​@@ChrisAndCats NOT!... We have two that can be very active. One keeps the other out of mischief. The more active of them getting into trouble left his own escapades.😊😅😢

So you disagree with him and the other 50 people that liked his post?

Two cats is a recipe for disaster?! Then, as someone who grew up in a home that normally had at least 4 cats, plus the occasional visitor, I count my lucky stars that I survived into adulthood! 😂

Хороший кот - это кот который спит 😂

As he gave you terrible advice that will reck your drywall lol.

@@1betterthanyou1 Hi, do you have any helpful information, I haven't started the project yet as it would be helpful.✌️

Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

You still have to get the right anchors. Even in brick walls it is easy to poorly mount something.

The constant jarring would waller out the mount and shelf will drop off the walls.

@@Jesus_is_All_we_need pre drill a hole, 6mm will do, and put in a plastic wall plug, then screw into that. If you didn't mess up the hole, it'll hold forever.

@@voxelfusion9894 👍 Thanks for your informative reply!😁

… and UKposts viewers 😅

Me too! 😂

attach to the studs and you should be fine
