Animal Cribs season 2 episode 4 titled "Cat Build Gone Wild" follows the team at Animal Planet as they take on a unique and exciting project for a family and their furry friends. Viewers are introduced to a family who has multiple cats and they are desperately in need of more space to accommodate their beloved pets. The family has a large house, but with three cats, the rooms can become very cramped and cluttered. The family wants to give their cats a more luxurious and stimulating life, but they need a helping hand to make their vision a reality.
The episode starts with the Animal Cribs team conducting a walk-through of the family's home. They explore the home and take note of the areas that need work. The team then sits down with the family to get a better understanding of their vision and what they hope to achieve. The family is eager to create a space where their cats can climb, play and explore, but also have a designated space to rest and nap. They also want the litter boxes to be enclosed, and for the space to be aesthetically pleasing for both the family and their pets.
With a clear understanding of the family's vision, the Animal Cribs team gets straight to work. They start by building a custom cat tree that spans from the floor to the ceiling, complete with a lookout tower and plenty of hiding spots. The team also installs cubbyholes and small ramps for the cats to climb up and down. The tree is designed to be functional, interactive, and stylish, making it a perfect addition to the house.
Next, the team turns their attention to the litter box situation, creating a designated cat bathroom in the laundry area. This designated space includes a custom-built enclosure for the litter boxes, complete with ventilation and easy access for cleaning. The team also adds a cat door to the door of the laundry room so the cats can access it, but it remains out of the way for humans.
The Animal Cribs team then moves to the living room where they install a custom-built cat tunnel. This tunnel is designed to run through the wall of the living room, creating more climbing and exploring opportunities for the cats. They also install a custom-built bench that blends in with the décor but doubles as a place for the cats to jump on and off.
Perhaps the highlight of the episode is the construction of an outdoor catio, a space where the cats can play and sunbathe while remaining safe and secure. Seasoned Animal Cribs viewers know the catio is a regular feature in episodes, and this one does not disappoint. The team creates an enclosed space with a secure door, complete with tunnels, scratching posts, and multiple levels for the cats to explore.
Finally, the Animal Cribs team puts finishing touches on the interior space, including custom DIY cat art, a built-in feeding station, and plenty of cozy cat beds. The result is a space that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing for both the family and their pets.
Overall, Cat Build Gone Wild is a delightful and enjoyable episode of Animal Cribs that showcases the talented team's expertise and creativity. It is a must-watch for fans of the show and cat lovers everywhere.
