- Hello, hello, hello,
my friends, Kaitlyn here.
And it's time to do some of
our yearly Christmas coloring.
(cheery Christmas music)
This is honestly my favorite
time of year to do crafts
because it just, everything
seems so magical and happy
and I love it.
So when I told myself I was gonna do
a Color With Me video for Christmas
I was like, I'm just
gonna do digital coloring
because it's easier, easier
cleanup, less time to film,
it's less stressful for me,
which is what coloring
is supposed to be about.
But (laughs)I then watched a
video by Jenna Marbles
where she is making an
Advent calendar for her dogs
which was based on a video,
I think by Nicol Concilio,
I'll link both of them in the description.
So it started with
Nicol, then went to Jenna
and now I'm also going to
make an Advent calendar
for my cat, of course.
Finn says, I also want to
be a part of the action,
why can't I have treats at Christmas time?
And the answer is, you
can, you can have treats.
I honestly chose to do this
because I really loved the Christmas tree
wooden Advent calendar
craft that Michael's had
that both Nicole and
Jenna used in their videos
and I was like, I need to make this too.
So we're gonna make our own version
of this Christmas tree
Advent calendar for our pets.
And then I also thought
because it's a cat,
that part of the Advent calendar
should also be a cat toy
and one of Finn's favorite
things are pipe cleaners
and so I thought I would
decorate the top of this
with some of his favorite
thing, pipe cleaners
and then some more little balls,
just to make it fun looking.
So let's going and paint a
cool cat Advent calendar.
We're also cooking dinner
at the same time we're filming
this video, so (laughing).
(gentle music)
Things that are not surprising,
having Finn on the table
immediately. (groaning)
Okay, that's unpleasant.
Let's get started.
Step number one is to
dump all the drawers out.
Finnegan, no!
You can't be involved yet.
Later.
I poured out entirely
too much green paint.
Way, way, way too much.
That's, I don't need all that green paint.
What were you thinking, Kaitlyn?
There's something very calming
about doing the same task
like, physical thing, over and over again.
So, like, painting these little drawers
is maybe more calming
than other crafty projects that I've done
where there's not been a
lot of like, repetition.
This is actually really,
like, chill and Zen for me.
(Kaitlyn shouting) Ah, no, no, no!
You're gonna get paint all over, stop!
(gasping)
You got vaguely red paint on your paw.
Okay, bye bye, bye bye.
Bye bye.
Whew, boy.
The goal here is to be able
to put all the numbers on this
and not royally mess it up.
It's lookin' so good, y'all.
(laughing)
So I want to write merry,
wait, can I do meowy?
M-E-O-W-Y.
I could do meowy, meowy catmas.
I think we're done with painting.
Now we just need (laughing).
I really got this whole thing
just so I could get these little cats.
But they're so cute, look at this.
That's adorable.
Finnegan!
Stop it, no!
You're gonna get paint on your feet
and I can't deal with that tonight.
It's too late for shenanigans.
Finn!
You can't have these yet.
I see that you're very interested in this
and it is for you, just not yet.
This tree is utterly glorious.
It's both beautiful
and very cat appropriate.
I've also made a giant mess.
Ta da! (laughing)
It's a masterpiece, a
ridiculous, gaudy masterpiece.
I guess the last thing we need to do
is to fill it with cat
treats and give him some.
I've actually gotten pretty good
at being able to tell him to sit
and he'll, like, sit
before I give him a treat.
I don't really understand
if he knows what sit means
or if he just knows that if
he puts his butt on the floor
then he gets the food faster.
Which, I mean, like, you know, that works,
that's all you need.
(gasping) Oh, no!
(laughing) I knew I was
gonna do one of these wrong.
I did the A upside down. (laughing)
what a bummer, I feel really dumb.
I knew, like, I meant to
double check and I didn't.
All right, Mr. Finn,
this is your cat tree.
Yeah, and these are your treats.
You like, do you like this Advent thing?
All right, sit, sit.
Come on, you can do it, sit,
you're almost there, hey, hey.
Finn, sit, good kitty!
There you go!
Here, let me dump them all out for you.
There's your treats,
merry Christmas, Finn!
Merry eighth day of Christmas, yay!
Oh, there's no more, sorry,
they're all right there.
Did you get, no, still one more,
still, there, you go.
You did it, look at all those treats.
He's like, I don't understand
what's happening right now,
but it's great.
It's pretty great, yeah?
Oh my gosh, he's just like,
desperately looking in my hands
for (laughing) I guess I
taste like treats right now.
(groaning)
Any other time you wanna be in the video.
Well, I think Finn likes (laughing)
I think Finn likes his Advent calendar.
So this is, oh, gosh.
I really like this idea.
I hope it continues to be
a trend on the YouTubes.
And I hope to see other people making,
no, you can't have those.
We don't need, Finn.
There's nothing more
poetic than a cat butt
in front of the camera.
I hope to see other people
making cat, oh gosh,
cat Advent calendars.
Finn, we don't need to
see your butt hole, no.
I brought you up here
because people like to see you,
not to cause chaos.
But this was really fun to make
and I'll have to give you an update
as to whether or not I have to hide this.
Because it is both kind of a cat toy
and full of treats
and, you know, like, dogs,
you put it up high enough,
they can't get to it,
but cats, they can get wherever they want.
At least Finn can.
Well, thanks for watching today, guys.
I hope you enjoyed this fun coloring video
and it inspires you to go out
and make something this Christmas season,
whether it's for your pet
or for yourself or for a friend.
Bye.
He's still lookin' for treats.
Sorry, buddy, gotta wait till tomorrow.
