we go to great lengths to keep our cats
entertained and today is no exception we
are trying to satisfy our cats need to
be constantly entertained by building
him a cat castle out of cardboard
so let's give it a try and see if we can
entertain our cat
first thing: collect cardboard boxes
if you don't have any
go through your neighbors trash
as you can see from these blueprints I've drawn up elaborate plans
of exactly how to build
my castle
it's important to plan
it's best if you're exact-o knife is super
sharp
precision is only important if you
don't already have an expert eye
but if
you're just an expert like me
you can wing it
never cut towards yourself
just like that
feel free to duct tape everything
it's better to duct tape more
now and less later
in Roman medieval times
up here is where the archers would
sit to kill anybody who tried to come
into their castle and also pour flaming
barrels of oil
if your knife is ever
getting dull you could just start
ripping pieces off too
I mean it's a cat after all
he doesn't know anything about
Roman medieval times
never ever cut towards yourself!
[dying sounds]
that's what it was like
back then, people were ruthless
file folders make a great turret
turrets are 
the place where in medieval Roman times
they would trap people like princesses
especially ones with really long hair
[YARG!]
I like it
now we need windows
these are the type of windows that you make so
that a Lannister boy could jump out of
them at any time that he wants to kill himself
the things we do for the ones we love
now the inside of the castle needs a roof
we'll just stick the other half of
the box inside there
pretty good
time for more castle rooms
I'm going to make a hole so
the cat can sneak on out the top
part one done
this box is hard to cut
and now for the arrow peepholes up on top
what most people don't know
is that cardboard is one of the finest building
materials of all time
this side's going
to be shorter now
it's kind of like when
you're giving yourself a haircut
this is
a dragon trying to attack the mighty
tower built for a cat
but that cat will
not let a dragon defeat them it will
throw boiling oil from the top down onto
the dragon
here are the sad villagers
here's the tears that they cry because
they're not allowed in
because they're not
THE CAT KING
we're at one of the
final steps of our castle
as you can see
the bones of it are there
and it looks incredible
but now we may want to cover
up some of the writing that was on the
original boxes
by either painting... or if
that's too messy and you don't want to
make a really big mess in your living room
and get in trouble again you can
always cover it entirely in shiny duct tape
metal is probably what most castles
are made out of for all of history
I got to the end with my role of silver
duct tape and I don't have anymore but
always remember that this is for a cat so
it doesn't really matter how it looks
Come play with me in the castle
entree mon senor
what is that?
it's your very own cat castle
these are arrows [PEW!]
CAT!
I made it for you!
well I guess we learned
that cats don't always like the things
that you go out of your way to do for them.
that's it for this episode of how
to with Becca
they can't all be winners, can they?
