Cat Owners Test Viral DIY Cat Hacks

We had SO much fun trying these out (if you ignore Katelyn's existential crisis) 🤣 If you want another exclusive video about these projects where we talk about how we give Joob breaks, Katelyn's biggest gripe about "hacks", and our biggest surprise: you can join this channel as a member or support us on Patreon!

Hey Evan and Katelyn! I just graduated with an associate's in science today! I'm typing this in my regalia. I just wanted to say how much of an inspiration Evan was for me. I'm now pursuing a Mechanical Engineering bachelor's degree. Thanks for being an awesome mentor for engineering.

18:40 Between the design of the hoodie and the size of the pocket, I'd suggest naming it the Ham Hammock. (Then Joobie might love it...)

As someone who has a dog that merrily travels by pouch - you need to shrink the pouch! When it’s that baggy, Jooby is not gonna feel secure. Try folding the top over and adding either a tie you can tighten or some elastic. Also try just leaving the hoodie on Jooby’s favourite spot so they can get used to sitting in it by themself.

I lost my cat - who looked very much like Joobie - just a week ago. She was 16. I wasn't sure whether watching this video was a good idea, but watching the sheer love you both have for Joobie while still having fun was actually quite an emotional balm.

If it can help, here's a Tip for Joob to go in the hoodie pouch :

Katelyn you need to put the hoodie on when and where you usually sit and Jooby comes on your laps. If she doesn't go directly in after hopping on your laps, try and put her in without moving to much.
She should be less fussy because she'll be supported by your laps in a familiar situation. The only change will be the hoody and that shouldn't be a problem cause it'll smell like you and isn't restricting her mouvements.
Don't stand up immediately once she's there, just act the same as when she's in your lap. Except now when you need to stand up for whatever reason there's no need of putting her down.

Hope this helps save the Hoody project.

Happy belated birthday to Joob.
Thank you for your videos.

May everyone enjoye May !

There's literally a lady who is famous on instagram for wearing her cat around in those baby wrap things 😂😂 YOU ARE NOT ALONE, KATELYN!

I'm just amazed at how organized that closet was, eventhough there were so much stuff. Despite Joobs didn't care much for it at first, that kitty tent is so simple and cute, so doable. An actual life hack that works.

The hoodie one just needed a smaller pouch opening to give the cat support. Cat carrying hoodies are real things you can buy (or reference for project improvements)

This is why it is good for makers to learn the skill of using a sewing machine. What took 2 hours of hand sewing would take maybe 2 min on a machine. I only hand sew when I absolutely have to in order to repair something that I can't fit into a sewing machine.

0:16 I love how both of you know exactly how the other thinks, it's both heartwarming and oddly unsettling at the same time. Like the twin telepathy.
Honestly Joobie is just tough love material at this point. We love her anyway.

Katelyn!! You should definitely get familiar with that sewing machine, it's really not as complicated as it seems! The most common issues that can make it frustrating and cause thread breaking or the stitches messing up are: bad thread and bad thread tension. Once you know how to judge if your tension is off it gets so much easier!
Sewing that pocket could have been done in under 5 minutes

18:43 THE SNACK SACK! I'd wear it, honestly😂😂

It makes me feel a million times better that my husband and I are not the only ones who act like that over our cats doing something cute, or them liking something we bought for them, or just laying there, or eating, or pretty much just breathing!!! Lol 😆!!

16:33 I have a kangaroo pouch on a hoody and my bunny sleeps in it while I'm working 😅

they 100% make hack #4 that you can buy without destroying a brush and is meant to stick to chairs or corners. Our cats LOVE it.

My kitty passed away a few weeks ago at 17, I really needed this video, appreciate seeing Joobie she's so cute!!

I had no idea Evan was allergic to cats! Have you heard of the egg-white theory? Basically, researchers found out that chickens, when exposed to the Fel d1 protein (which is what most people are allergic to), produce eggs that have the Fel d1 antibodies! So you mix up the egg whites in their food and it's supposed to decrease the amount of the protein in their saliva. It doesn't harm the cat in any way, shape, or form. I'm excited for more studies about it (as someone who is highly allergic to cats but loves them still).

LOL the urgency of Katelyn telling Evan he's going to crush the chips at the end! Definitely the right priority.

Seriously though, I think the pouch hoodie could have worked better if you just wore it lounging on the couch watching a TV show or something.

Today I got my bachelors degree in teaching, and watching this video was just the icing on the cake. Y’all have gotten me through so many late nights of lesson planning. Thank you so much for doing what you do.
