I love cats, we have 3, but this is the most impractical room ever. The bed will just be covered in cat fur, claw sheds and bits of mat. The shelves will just have everything knocked off them. And a litter box in a guest room?! Which then means if you have guests over they have to sleep with the door open and wake up to the smell of cat poo, no thanks! 🙈

@@ah5721 "crazy cat lady" why have guests over that dislike cats so much they want them locked in a bathroom? That's stupid af.

I think what's important with that head board is to buy thick and stiff doormats as I can see them collasping onto themselves ones on their sides.

I think the majority of the commenters are missing so many points. The cats don't live in this room- They basically have this space as a lounge because that's where they started and felt most comfortable when they moved into the house. Many times, cat people have friends, and thus guests, who are animal lovers- this doesn't mean that guests enjoy eating hair sniffing poo, but that they are aware and comfortable with the presence of animals in their friend's homes. Bedding can and should be washed- Pets or not, bedding should be prepared for incoming guests. I think it takes a dirty person to have their guests sleep on fur, litter, and nail shavings; Now we're looking at people and not the pets. This is likely not the only place that this woman has a litterbox. It is recommended to have a box per cat plus one. As many homes have one per cat I'd figure there is another box elsewhere. If not, then I'll give you that one. I don't want to sleep in someone's bathroom either. lol

Take all the decorations off the cat spaces and it has potential.

Years ago I purchased a smallish side table that "disguised" the cat litter. It was a really terrible design. It doesn't breathe enough. It quickly became moist and foul inside that cabinet. I had to trash it after less than a year and that was with regular cleaning and airing out. Best to locate litter to another area.

So it looks nice, but some of those things the cats will destroy in no time. The shelves are cool and a good idea, but the things on them and on the window are going to be meeting the floor sooner rather than later. The hidden litter box is a good idea but without a top and al that extra space the cats are going to go in the trunk itself and have a stinky issue. Now getting a enclosed box inside there(with a carbon filter if possible) and attaching it right to the door would leave room in the trunk for things like the scooper and litter. The head board is a really cool and good idea, I can see without the mats being secured the cats could rip them out in no time if they are using it for their primary scratcher. Just a couple of easy to remove screws in the front shoud take care of that and if the mats are thick enough might be able to hide them. Overall its a cool room though

Great ideas!!! I absolutely LOVED that the trunk was spacious enough for a proper litter box space. I've seen so many DIY's / converted furniture that leave the cats with a tiny space where they can barely stand to use the "bathroom", it's horrifying!

I have a cat/guest room. I have 4 litter boxes in strategic spots all over the house so the one in the guest/cat room is removed during guest stay. The bed has no bedding until the guest arrives. Until then it is covered with a plastic sheet topped with a double size fitted sheet so when the time to make the bed, just strip it off and have a clean bed to put on the clean bedding. A run with the vacuum and the room is ready, no cat hair, no litter box, no smell. A really great practical cat/guest room. Of course, the decor is a cat theme and the bedding and quilt are in a cat print which my guest love, a fun room. Oh, and you shouldn't put anything on the shelves to be knocked off, it's for the cats and their need to feel safe at higher levels. Cat haters be gone!

The bunk bed idea was brilliant and so was the trunk. The steps made for the cat too doubled up at attractive shelves. The radiator cover, the scratchboard, small bed, closet door, and organizing the closet so many innovative things. Must be well planned during the week with a lot of brainstorming before coming up to this result. So this is weekend only for implementation planning must be taking a week for sure. I loved this video the most for the innovative ideas.

That suitcase cat bed is adorable

That bunk bed had so much potential but it just doesn't look too good.

Purrfect outcome, love the litter box idea. What's with all the negative comments though? I cannot understand people's inability to be kind, the cat lady loved the outcome and she's the only one that matters. 🐈🐈

I have just seen 2 of your videos and then this one. I loved it. I have a cat rescue (out-of-my-pocket not a non-profit) with 35+ cats with 4 in the house. Your ideas were spot on. Really enjoyed this video. You now have a new subscriber AND I live at Lowe's. If I were younger than 70, I would be knocking on your door. You are the cat's meow. Just telling the truth and not being a dirty old man. Keep up the great projects. Wish you the best. Great talent. 👍

I love this project. We have a cat at home that my husband offered to babysit for a friend until he found a new appartment....December 2018, he was still a kitten. As of today, it's officially our cat and "Tiger" would definitely claim a room like this one just for him...no guests allowed!😁

Love the ideas for this makeover. I do think the scratching post headboard missed the mark, however. The cats need to be on the bed to use the carpet and it wasn't secured to the backing board so if the scratch, they're going to pull it out. Also, a big part of using a scratching post is stretching and it's important for their physical health. A better choice might have been to wrap the long sides of the headboard with sisal rope and make them actual tall posts--at least 4-5 feet. I also noticed that "stuff" was put into the shelves and in front of the window. Those cats are either going to knock those things off or ignore the spaces. I know it looked nice for the reveal, but not at all likely to stay that way. If cats and humans are going to coexist, there does need to be some separation of territory--especially for guests.

😂😂 @Monica at 4.57 you missed a pun “these mats purrfectly cover ….”

OMGosh! We’re about to pull down all the wall deco we shoehorned into our 1100sq ft (CA) house from our 2550sq ft (TX) 16 years ago for our cats. In order to create more navigatable space for our cats to be able to leave the floor if they need a break from the dogs. 30+yrs rescuing & fostering and I’ve finally caved; and then I find this vid!! OMGosh, the inspiration! The only thing we’d discussed that y’all did is the crown molding skywalk. I’m so excited to incorporate the things y’all showed here! ps: our guest room is ACTUALLY our cat room, complete with a baby gate to keep the dogs out; this is just too perfect

Am i the only one crushing on Matty V?

That was really perrrrrrfect, love all of it.

This is so gross- I would never stick my guests in a ‘cat room’, especially in a bed that doubles at their scratch post.

I love the end result! 👌😻

My cat has a "cattitude". He wants a room like that! Purrfect!

Really great. My fav is the trunk litter box. I'll have to share this with my sister and bother-in-law their cat Felix would love to have his own room!!!💜

Wow! What an amazing and unique space! I love it!

That litter box is an absolute no-go. It will hold in the odor which cats with their hyper-sensitive sense of smell won't tolerate. It's a recipe for disaster. Combining that with a guest room is a terrible idea, too. I've had as many as ten cats at once, so I think I qualify as a "crazy cat lady." That said, I would not expect my guests to sleep in a room dedicated to the cats and the space that houses their litter box. (By the way, if you have multiple cats, you really should have multiple boxes. Two cats, three boxes; three cats, four boxes, etc.) I agree with the one who suggested it be combined with a home office instead.

Love love love the litter box!

Wow wow wow! Awesome, Wonderful, Great! Being a cat mom, Ive really enjoyed this particular video amongst all the others! Thanks for the amazing video and thanks to Natalie for her love for the cats! Wish you could come to Mauritius...

These DIY shows are meant for inspiration. Use the ideas or not depending on your space and needs. For instance, I don't like the scratching mats used as a headboard, but I am thinking of modifying the design to use on a small wall where furniture placement and shelving is not possible. And the reminders to stock your guest room with items your guests may enjoy or need was great (even if they don't share a room with your wee beasties).
