Salem looks like she may be pregnant. If you can, please borrow a cat carrier or trap and take her to a vet to see if she is microchipped and to get an exam in case she is pregnant.

Seconded! Or put a breakaway collar on her with a little QR code or something that links to your cell or an email to let you know if she’s owned

Yes, she’s either well fed or very pregnant and looking for a safe place to give birth.

Sometimes cats get the saggy belly after they’ve been fixed but the thought of her being pregnant did cross my mind.

When the cat distribution system blesses you with one cat and it turns into eight! 😂 I agree that you'll want to get her into a vet ASAP to confirm one way or the other !

I worked in kitty rescue so if you think kitty will go in a carrier, you can take her to any pet smart, they have chip readers. If no tag and no chip, you can ask neighbors or apartment management. Lots of animals get dumped at apartments. Thank you for caring for her. Love how the porch is looking. I have to do the same. Our balconies are right up against each other.

LoVe those chairs you're getting rid of ,their the best design feature. Can they be washed and moved indoors somewhere just put cushions on them for more seating and comfort when the company comes.

I love cats also, and recently found out I’m allergic to cats more than dogs. I have two, and their going no where😊

Do not be surprised when you walk out one day and find a MAMA Salem with kittens in her new home! She looks well cared for and pretty pregnant! BTW...Patio looks fabulous!!!

My grandma had a beautiful “stained glass” window she made in her dining room. She used the same products you used to make her window. I remember her putting clear plastic wrap tightly around some cardboard with her pattern underneath so she could trace the pattern and she would peel it off and stick it to the window she would use an exact knife to make the edges up clean once on the window. It was a beautiful pattern with bluebirds and butterfly’s and flowers and a lattice work. I wish I could add pictures to this to show you. I would ask her for the exact technique she used, but she passed away 3 weeks ago. So I guess we will never know her exact technique. But watching this makes me want to do my own to feel closer to her… great makeover you never disappoint.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You absolutely should do that project and you will always have a reminder of your grandma near you. As long as you hold her in your thoughts and speak about her, she is never really gone. Sending hugs

I've been a dog person all my life. Until one day during lockdown my adult son brought home a starving kitten that was wandering around the local store crying at anyone that looked at him. He wanted to take a pic and share it on fb in case someone had lost the wee guy but his phone was dead so... Anyway, the poor wee guy was so sick and hungry and we just fell in love with him and kept him. We did let him roam freely and one day he went out and never came back. Broke our hearts. Now we have two kittens - a brother and sister. We have them two years now. We walk them on a leash every day. They're so funny. Cats have bigger personalities than dogs. If you do get to keep Salem you'll see. Love all the projects. That privacy screen is fab.

The privacy wall seems like the easiest diy for the average person. You keep upping your game girl!

Please post on your apartment and local chat boards and put up some signs around to see if Salem has an owner. She also should go to the vet to check for a microchip and check if she is pregnant, like other comments mentioned. If no one responds to your enquiries and she doesn't have a microchip, I'd have her spayed, there are low cost clinics, before she gets pregnant, if she's not already, and adopt her or find her a home. Outdoor cats only live around 2-5 years, their life expectancy is dramatically cut short, and kittens born outside suffer and many die. Thank you for caring about Salem! You're a good person. The cat house is adorable.

Also... if you g get to keep her, there's likely a rescue who will help you foster her babies (if she's not chipped or claimed, but is pg) and you'll really enjoy cat parenthood. A friend of mine who is an older millennial got cats for the first time this year and messaged me and said she finally understands the cat obsession now. Lol

@@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfaryep… sometimes you just gotta get a cat to fall in love with cats! That’s what happened to me. I met a kitten I couldn’t leave behind and now I forever understand and love kitties.

Your neighbors will also love that screen!

Salem aesthetically fits into the patio scheme

You could always buy a collar for Salem and attach a note to the collar asking if she belongs to anyone! That way you at least know she has a home. Loved your DIY’s like always! 💕

I literally did this last week for a sweet kitty who started showing up at our house. It's been a month now and he doesn't have owners. We are taking him to get neutered next week. Although we can't keep him inside he will be taken care of! I got him am apple airtag as well and an outdoor house. We have 2 rescue dogs (neither of which will even tolerate the sight of a cat) 😢 we named him Freddy mercury and he seems very content now! He goes where he wants and comes home to sleep his his house, eat and get some tummy rubs every day at 4pm 😂 cat distribution system strikes again!

Someone is taking care of Salem. She's seems well fed. Maybe she doesn't have an actual "owner", but someone is feeding her. As friendly as she is, she used to have a home and is not afraid of humans like a feral cat would be.

I used to be very allergic to cats as a child, but I was determined to have a cat when I grew up so kept petting any cat that came my way. Now, as an adult, I am only allergic to Persian breed. I had adopted a Siamese/ Persian kitten and I got a bad reaction. We had to rehome Tosca and it broke my heart. He went to the lady who ran a cat rescue and Tosca became an important daddy figure to new kittens and since he was such a social boy he helped new rescues adapt. She was so happy he was such a big help. That made me feel so much better that he was enjoying his new home and the important job he was doing.

I looooooove the privacy screen most. But the stain glass greenhouse is also beautiful.

the cat seems very tame, cats like to visit places where they get either food or attention even though they have a home. Love the outdoor place

Well momma Salem will be providing you with new little kitties to choose from to have your own cat 🐈‍⬛ she may be around looking for a safe place to have her babies which you provided - the stained glass piece is beautiful and the privacy screen is 🔥 great patio makeover thx for sharing! ❤😊

I thought, "welp, she's definitely having her kittens in that house"

Wow Tina ! The privacy screen & the cat house are absolutely beautiful ! And the kitty cat 🐈‍⬛ is super cute ! You are sooooo awesomely talented ! You go girl !

The kitty

I loved the screen. You can get a flat peace of carpet at dollar tree for Salem’s house. It will just cover the wood bottom .

Love your creations!! Get the cat a flea collar!

inspiring. relatable. love Salem, the cat house is amazing, the tiny water dish is the perfect cherry on top

The DIY privacy screen is one of your best projects, imo. Creative, looks professional, and attainable for many. Loved this video!

I could actually see myself doing the privacy screen! 👌🏻

I loved that privacy screen!

Oh my goodness that privacy screen is 🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Tina, you did an awesome job. ❤❤❤

I really liked the greenhouse stained glass project- and a very cute cat home! I like the way you fixed up the patio!

That privacy screen is genius!!! I love it. It really completes the space.

Your patio looks amazing every time I think you can't out do yourself you surprise me

Thank you so much!! 💛💛

I loved what you’ve done!!!! I especially loved that you’ve made a place for that sweet cat. If the cat comes to you, that cat adopted you. ❤️ I’m allergic to cats but it hasn’t stopped me from owning one. 😉

The cat house is soooo cute!!! Obsessed with Salem 🫶🏽✨

Absolutely LOVE the cat house with the open side for air!!!

The privacy screens turned out really great.

Definitely would make the screen!

I love the privacy screen! Waht a cool idea. Salem is beautiful and looks in good health. Some cats just can't be kept indoors. They want to be in and out like my neighbors cat qlthough she keeps him in during the night. Possibly owners have a cat door also. She seems too friendly to be a feral. Thank you for being looking out for her and being a spare family. ❤️

Love the patio!! Genus hack on the privacy screen and mini greenhouse. Tina you should be so proud of your evolution as a DIYer!! Every project gets better and better. Well done!

Omg this cat house is GIVING! I want one!

Love the outdoor space! I have a "porch kitty" and bought her a house. (Yours is much cuter!) I also bought an outdoor heated pad for those cold winter nights. 😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻

Love the privacy screen 😊

You did fabulous on your patio makeover.

Clever lady. So talented. Love the screen and stained glass, but the cat house tops the lots. So nice you are keeping an eye out for her (or him).

WOW, you did a beautiful job. Such a sweet kitty.

I'm amazed by your talent and the work you put in!

The cat house Is super cute…. ❤I would’ve painted every other wood piece on the side opening green as well to make it more fun.

Wow this looks sooo amazing, cozy and just like a dream. And Salom is the cutest in her little tiny house 😍

Wow everything came out so beautful. I love the stained glass.

The whole patio I love it

I love the stained glass, truly inspired. That cat is well fed, healthy & friendly she has a home somewhere close by.

I loved the patio makeover, all of it!!! ❤ And the cat house is so cute!

You packed a lot of punch into that space. Great job! Love the greenhouse! Keep us updated about Salem ❤

I just love the privacy screen . WOW , yes, cute cat house. The patio is looking awesome, good job !

The greenhouse is SOOOO cute! I'm definitely going to try this out. Salem approved! :)

It looks so nice. Great job. I'm glad Salem likes the adorable house youmade for it.

Great makeover Tina! 🌳🐈🦋 I really love your backdrop and the cat house!!! The green house turned out cute too! Congratulations on your new friend Salem. 🐈‍⬛ We have 4 rescue cats. (Gandalf, Mari, Bella & Bullseye) Cats can be the most loving and amazing friends. Our Mari is a little black kitty. She was a friendly feral at the RV Park we lived at. We adopted her when she was ready to have her 2nd litter that we know about. Her kittens were taken by a foster agency to find furever homes. She's spayed and is a sweet gentle friend.

It looks nice, and cozy, and Salem appreciates and loves you too 💖

Screen looks great. Science Diet is good food for the cat. Hope you can keep her.

Llllllllllove this makeover! I don’t comment often, but had to say how much I love this one!!

Incredible! The privacy screen - ingenius! And so easy to do. The stained glass greenhouse - so pretty and another easy project. Thinking I could do that on my front door storm window. And actually any window in my house. How pretty would that be!! All-in-all looks fantastic! I also agree with other commenters - take the kitty to a clinic or vet and have her checked for possible pregnancy and/or if she's chipped. I lived in a walk-out basement apartment decades ago and a neighbor's cat would come over and hang out. So cute! One time, as I was leaving, she was sitting on the top of a retaining wall and acted like she was hurt by lifting up one paw. Then, she switched paws! So funny! I don't know, but perhaps animals know who are animal lovers and feel safe. Plus!! It is a vacation for them!!! Have a blessed day and a fab week!! xxoo

I love the green sweater! Patio turned out well also.

Of course we are voting on redoing te bunkie! Can’t wait to see it!!!

I just found your channel. Love it. Your patio looks great. I especially loved that privacy screen and I'm going to make one. Loved the cat house and that's so nice of you. I am a dog & cat owner. As someone else suggested tho I would borrow a pet carrier and see if Salem has a microchip. This way if she does, she can visit. If not, maybe keep her and get her the proper shots so she'll stay healthy. She may look healthy but you don't know. Outdoor cats run a high risk of viruses.Love her but be safe. 😊❤🙏🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🇺🇸

OHhhh WOW!! Love Love Love your patio! I especially love the privacy wall!! I am going to give that a try!! What a excellent idea!!! Thanks for sharing!!

That’s screen is the best idea ever! Thank you!! I am so struggling with outdoor privacy and now I feel inspired to do something about it!

Tinahhh...I love them all!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💐❣️

You are so amazing!! I love everything and your kindness to animals whether their yours or a visitor 🙏❤️🐰

The patio is gorgeous!! You did such a great job creating zones for lounging and dining. The privacy screen is genius and I love the stained glass! Cat house is too cute too!

That privacy screen is amazing! Such a great idea, wow!

I love the screen idea. I'm looking to cover my AC unit. This is great for airflow on top, but hide the ugly .

I really like those black wicker chairs. I think they would have looked really nice facing the pallet sofa a a conversation area for guests.

Omg I loooooove that screen so much, such a smart and creative project…So cool!❤

I just love your patio. You are so sweet making the cat a house. Thanks for all your great ideas.

I really love all the patio items you put together, but the green house was my fav!

Tina, your patio looks amazing! Beautiful and so cozy , such a tranquil and comfy vibe! You’re skills are amazing and you have such a gift! Enjoy and have a wonderful and blessed summer! 🌞☀️🌅🌴🏝️🌺🌸🌷 Salem is so cute!! You’re so sweet , happy to see he’s quite happy! Nice touch! 🐈‍⬛

Salem might be a neighbourhood cat of sorts, in villages (smaller communities in general) they all take care of the local cats communally. Once I had to temporarily live with a housemate and I couldn’t bring my cat so she lived with my Grandma until I got an appropriate home for her. During that time she became a local celebrity, chilling on the couch with the neighbour, sitting on all the old people laps in the street. Grandma lives in a village primarily habituated by the elderly in the south of England where the weather is usually sunny and people spend most of their day sat in the gardens nattering and gardening. She would make her way up and down the street getting treats all the way and let the local stray Tom cat eat her dinner because she was full, drove my grandma mad, “I’m not paying to feed him!” She would complain, she had a cat flap installed and he would just let himself in to eat my cat’s dinner and she let him, cat politics man. Salem’s eyes and fur look healthy enough that he is being fed good food but not good enough that it’s the top dollar good food. Salem looks exactly like my cat Sheba and that’s what her fur looks like if we buy mid-tier food (like iams) before we found the one she had now and she’s like silk. That high tail says Salem is very confident with you and her new little house, absolutely gorgeous cat and catio transformation ✨

Another comment suggests Salem could be pregnant which would also explain the fur condition as extra nutrients are being supped up by those babes (if true lol)

She seems to like the patio house! 🐈‍⬛ ❤ I absolutely love the screen divider!!! What a cozy space in the city. 🪴

Omg the cat house was my favorite, but only bc I'm a crazy cat lady😂 The privacy screen was really amazing as well!

Absolutely fantastic cozy patio! I really love your privacy walls! I've never seen that done before!

I love the privacy fence 🫶🏽

Definitely the privacy screen!

OMG, it looks so awesome!! I love that privacy backdrop you made. Such a great idea and not expensive to do at all. That cat house was to die for😍😎🤩 so stinking cute💖 The night time picture was the best!! You totally kicked this one out of the park!!

Loved all those projects as they were very cleverly done and could be marketable at a street fair. Everyone is great, but I would place that screen higher up or find some way to attach it to the dividing wall, but gorgeous it is...that cat house is so clever she has her own view when being inside of it , the best cat house Ive ever seen. Your just so talented 🎉

I would add some fairy lights around the privacy screen and maybe even Salems house. I would add some magnets, command strips or sticky Velcro to your table covering so the wind doesn’t decide to rehome it someday lol. I would also add a DIY table top tin fire pit in your lounge area. Most supplies can be purchased at Dollar Tree to make the little table top tin fire pit. There’s tons of DIY Dollar Tree videos on KZread that help give guidance and inspiration for supplies, design etc. It looks like a beautiful grounding, warm, inviting, relaxing and serine place to return to self and enjoy self healing and just be without the chaos of the outer world and energies. It’s actually beneficial to have a cat and dog. It’s been scientifically proven that cats can carry low vibrational negative energy from us on their fur then they roll around on the ground or floor to release it, along with petting them can offer us a relaxing meditative and healing state. Dogs will bring in positive energies, especially the ones who can really connect with their humans soul and understand us on levels we sometimes don’t even know or understand. Dogs offer many benefits like reminding us to take a break and return to childlike play without feeling like we have to be whatever the outer world demands us to be, to be gifted with opportunities to return to our natural core of being, to truly be loved unconditionally without extreme demands of high expectations and teach us the deeper levels of true unconditional love and forgiveness while blessing a human with the sensation of belonging in a world that seems lost, keeping us grounded. Yin and yang ❤❤ Love it!!! Thank you for some great soul inspiration to help me do something with my deck. Have a beautiful and blessed day Tina❤

Tina, it's fabulous ❤❤❤ I love the screen and Salem's cat house is so much the upgrade! I am so happy she likes it. I also agree about a carpet piece but I'm not so sure that the one's at Dollar Tree are safe for children and animals.

That screen idea was very creative.

You can put some catnip on her pillow and she will probably use it. I love your divider. Very clever!

The privacy screen is genius, the stained glass is beautiful, and the cathouse ........ I love cats and miss not having one. The puppy we adopted 2 years ago is absolutely death on cats, so haven't gotten another one since my old cat, Dakota, died a few years ago. You did a great job on this small patio - so stylish and comfortable. Looks like a lot of outdoor dinners and parties are in the offing for the summer.

I loved this video!! There’s 3 diys in one video, you work so hard to entertain and inspire! Just thought I would let you know I appreciate you so much!! ❤

Love the little house for Salem. Your patio looks amazing.

Tina, you have such an amazing talent! I'm not entirely a cat person (just a little) but your cat house came out so good!

The screen is amazing!!!! this cat should be taken in to see if he/she has a microchip first. Also important to find out if she/he is spayed or neutered. The cat looks well fed but also could be pregnant. Provide food for her. The house is adorable but cats like being up higher. Also covering the side that is open will make the cat more secure. Great work Tina!!!

Always enjoy your content my fellow Chicago Gal .. nice job.. Salem is adorable. ❤

Instant sub here. Not only are you incredibly talented, but you have a heart of gold!

I really loved the privacy screen! Thinking about doing something similar with my outdoor space with maybe thrifted fabric! 💗 And agreed with others that she's probably pregnant! I'd also suggest reaching out to a local cat rescue for resources and help with trapping her if you can't get her into a carrier! Also, I was super allergic to cats too growing up, but after getting my first cat and having some bad allergies for a month, my body adjusted and I'm no longer allergic! And you definitely don't need a yard for a kitty, indoor is best anyways!! 😉

I’ve used that gallery glass tons of time. Takes a bit of practice but the results are nice. I love the privacy screen

8:18 whaaaat this is so smart! I don’t know if I could do it, the process seems to be non-beginner friendly but this is such a great idea !

IM LIVING FOR THIS VIDEO

Love it and love Salem.

That cat house is EVERYTHING! ❤

This patio turned out so very nice. Great ideas.

I really like the screens, they look so good, perfect for that spot and not difficult to make. CAT - I've been a cat person, most of my life. Had a Rescue 14 years ago, currently volunteer with L & F groups and have cats. My thoughts; The cat belongs to someone close to that area. Someone is feeding it, It's very well taken care, healthy, shiny coat. I would ask your neighbors, someone probably knows the owner or where it lives. It's a shame they let it out to roam, concerned with the traffic in that area. Hopefully the owner is at least responsible enough that it's fixed - spayed / neutered.

Every project was my favorite. You did an awesome job.

Bravo, beautiful patio. You are such a great artist! Thank you for sharing!
