And the other one is all about cadeos, 150 00:08:18,759 --> 00:08:21,879 everything you need to know to design the perfect cado. 151 00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,920 So let's get into the indoors first. Can you share 152 00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:27,560 a couple of tips. We don't want to spoil your talk, 153 00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:30,639 but really, the cat is living in the house more 154 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,720 than we are. Come on, let's just face the feline facts. 155 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to give them all the things they 156 00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:39,120 need to really be a cat, right yeah. So they 157 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:42,600 need to climb and perch, they need little hideaways where 158 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,039 they can feel safe. They need soft surfaces and things 159 00:08:46,039 --> 00:08:48,360 that they can scratch on where they can leave their scent, 160 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,960 because all of these things are really about reducing stress 161 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,600 and anxiety by letting them act out their natural behaviors. 162 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,600 So I'm here to show you that you can do 163 00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:03,720 all of these things in a way that you actually 164 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:04,480 like too. 165 00:09:04,399 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 2: And won't take a big bite out of your wallet. 166 00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 5: Right yeah, exactly. There's lots of tips and tricks for 167 00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:13,279 economical things and things that look cool, because if it 168 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,159 doesn't look good, the people won't do it, and then 169 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,080 the cats won't have what they need. So my presentations 170 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,679 are just kind of all about examples and inspiration and 171 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,679 just lots of ideas that people can take and run with. 172 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,039 Speaker 2: I wish you would have a show on HGTV.

They're probably going to call you 176 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,080 and sign a contract after that. But what about cadios? 177 00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:41,080 Because in our house we have three dogs and two cats. 178 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,600 We have a screen back porch, and we don't call 179 00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:46,519 it a patio. We call it because we've got dogs 180 00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:48,480 and cats, we call it a petio. 181 00:09:48,919 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 5: Oh nice, yes's. 182 00:09:50,639 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 2: Accouterments for the cat when we can let them by 183 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,200 a cool day because it's Dallas hang out with us 184 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,399 in the pettio. So what's a couple things about a cadio. 185 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,080 You want to make sure that people pay attention to 186 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,919 so it's safe for the cats and really giving them 187 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,799 a feel of the outdoors so without being you know, 188 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,440 outside unattended. 189 00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a great way to extend your space. And 190 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,759 cadeos can be anything from just a really small window 191 00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:20,200 box oh all up to a giant room like you're 192 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,759 talking about, like a screened in room where you can 193 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,039 walk in and have chairs in places to spend time 194 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,039 with the cats. So it really depends on your house, 195 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,080 It depends on your budget, what you need. 196 00:10:32,639 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 2: What's a must have and a cadio no matter the size. 197 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,639 Speaker 5: Well, definitely climbing things, I think, because I like to 198 00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:44,799 use any sort of shelf or pole system that gets 199 00:10:44,799 --> 00:10:47,080 stuff off the ground so it's easier to clean out 200 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,879 there too. Because remember back to this whole idea of 201 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,480 designing for both the human and the cat. You have 202 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,960 to clean it, you have to live with it, so 203 00:10:56,159 --> 00:10:58,559 you want to make little decisions that make it easier. 204 00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:01,679 So lots of shell are cat trees, things like that 205 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,600 media water feature. That's a fun place to put a 206 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,720 water feature out on a cadio. If you've got that ability, 207 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,960 maybee some cat grass growing or some fresh cat in it. 208 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:12,639 Speaker 2: Can't grasp it's really good. 209 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,919 Speaker 5: You love that. So it really brings the outdoors you 210 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,559 know in and sort of gives them access to all 211 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,679 of those outdoor fresh air things like that, but in 212 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:23,440 a safe way. 213 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,519 Speaker 2: What is your kitty count now? At your home in Arizona? 214 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 5: We have eleven here and we have a big CaTiO. 215 00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:33,799 Speaker 2: And everybody that's going to tune into the YouTube my 216 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,120 arden more one her house is immaculate. 217 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 5: Well, well maybe not all the time. 218 00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 2: Eleven How are they doing? 219 00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 5: Oh, they're all pretty good. I mean we have you know, 220 00:11:42,759 --> 00:11:43,159 a few. 221 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,799 Speaker 2: Well it's like sib bad apples us. 222 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,759 Speaker 5: But it's always a learning experience. 223 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, But don't you think this design is giving 224 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,240 them We talk about the physical need, but what about 225 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,559 the mental enrichment it gives cats that live indoors. 226 00:11:57,759 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a huge piece of the environmental enrichment is 227 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,399 that it keeps them stimulated, not just physically but also mentally, 228 00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:09,720 so that they have different levels to sort of peruse 229 00:12:09,919 --> 00:12:13,799 the environment. They have things they can play with to 230 00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:17,320 stimulate hunting, things that they would do if they were outside, 231 00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:19,639 but all inside in a safe way. 232 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 2: What about you, Liz, do you have a loving cats? 233 00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:26,519 I just have one. And who is your one and only? Yes? 234 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,559 Speaker 3: Yes, and his name is Otis he the tuxedo cat. 235 00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:34,159 He's very shy around strangers, but he's slowly been opening 236 00:12:34,279 --> 00:12:36,559 up more, which is exciting to see. He's three now, 237 00:12:36,879 --> 00:12:40,559 and I recently got him a Florida ceiling cat tree, 238 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,960 so that's been really fun. Yeah, it took about two 239 00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:48,919 weeks before he you know, stopped being suspicious of it 240 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,879 and decided it was a good thing. 241 00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:53,399 Speaker 2: So I guess he's not going to be an ambassador 242 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,320 at the Virginia Cat Ussel. He'll be home. He'll be home. 243 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: Yes, And this is one of the things I always 244 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,159 thinking about because Arden, you're so having pat safety cat, Casey, 245 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,679 who you can take anywhere. Most cat owners can't take 246 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,080 their cats anywhere, so we can't find each other in public, 247 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,519 you know, and so it's not like when you walk 248 00:13:12,519 --> 00:13:14,159 your dog, everybody sees your dog. 249 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's true.

And so you all will 307 00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:20,120 talk about cat health again this year, right about diet 308 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,759 and then also first aid. 309 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 2: One is plunge into cat first aid in a perfect way. 310 00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:28,519 And for those three people on the planet that do 311 00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:31,519 not know, I will say that Pet Safety Cat Casey 312 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,159 is an orange tabby a therapy cat and probably the 313 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,559 hardest working safety cat on the planet. He has been 314 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,840 with me by car, a bike plane to do behavior 315 00:16:41,879 --> 00:16:44,440 and safety talks. And then there's something called zoom. So 316 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,240 we have given veterinary proof classes all over the world. 317 00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:50,320 And so I remember last year he wore a cowboy 318 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,200 hat at your meet and greet and people were walking 319 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,440 in stumbling in, and Liz tell me what happened. 320 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,759 Speaker 3: Well, it was funny because it was kind of a 321 00:16:58,919 --> 00:17:02,360 slow process to get into the building, and so everyone's 322 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,960 kind of craning their necks trying to figure out why 323 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,039 it's so slow to get into the building. And then 324 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,720 you see them come up to the door and their 325 00:17:09,759 --> 00:17:13,119 face just lights up because they see Casey and his 326 00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:16,599 cowboy hat, and of course everyone wants to stop and 327 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,119 get them some pets and take a photo. So I 328 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,720 think it was a payoff that everybody was happy about. 329 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,519 Speaker 2: He was a show stopper, Yeah, he is.

Nothing that I can think of. Well, 376 00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:01,960 Kate channeled her inner Caate Benjamin to me right now, 377 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,599 so I am going to give Kate's joke on behalf 378 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,279 of her house that, Yeah, do you know why cats 379 00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:10,960 don't play poker in the jungle? Too many cheetahs Kate. 380 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,960 That was brilliant, brilliant, Love it brilliant. So, Kate, I 381 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,440 know this will be your first festival here and you've 382 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,119 been in the cat world. Wow, tell us a little 383 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,759 bit about House Panther. What is that? That's your company 384 00:20:22,799 --> 00:20:24,559 you founded back in two thousand and seven. 385 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,319 Speaker 5: Yes, so, yeah, way back in two thousand and seven, 386 00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:30,319 I was working at a children's product company that did 387 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,319 kind of modern, cool children's products, and I sort of 388 00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:36,759 had this realization, how come nobody is talking about cool 389 00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:39,920 stuff for cats and cat parents. So I started a 390 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:45,039 blog and it's all about like interesting, beautiful, functional design, 391 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,079 so environments and products and everything you need to live 392 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,359 with a cat. So it has evolved over the years 393 00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:55,880 to be kind of a lifestyle brand. So I have 394 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,160 an online presence on social media on my website where 395 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,480 I write about just everything I can find for cats. 396 00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:05,000 And then I designed my own line of products, and 397 00:21:05,079 --> 00:21:07,839 I collaborate with other companies, and I wrote the two 398 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,440 books with Jackson and did a lot of catification work 399 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,240 with him, and I started doing a lot of shelter 400 00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:16,039 work in the last few years as well, so shelters 401 00:21:16,079 --> 00:21:19,079 and cat cafes things like that. So it's really just 402 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,279 about inspiring people to do what they need to do 403 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,720 in their homes to give their cats what they need 404 00:21:25,839 --> 00:21:28,839 in a way that they want to celebrate something that 405 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,920 they love. So lots of ideas and inspiration and products 406 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,839 and things, and it's a nice community of sort of 407 00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:38,240 like minded design conscious cat people. 408 00:21:38,599 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 2: So what do you think the life is like for 409 00:21:40,559 --> 00:21:43,160 cats in twenty twenty five versus when you started it 410 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,279 in two thousand and seven. 411 00:21:44,559 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 5: Big difference. So I used to have to search for 412 00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:50,559 cool things to write about, and now I can't keep 413 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,319 up right because it was it started off with just 414 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,799 small companies and individual designers, and now all of the 415 00:21:57,839 --> 00:22:01,519 big players, the big companies that do lots of pet products, 416 00:22:01,839 --> 00:22:05,559 have beautiful things for cats in different styles and different 417 00:22:05,599 --> 00:22:09,759 price points. You can find whatever you need, and that's 418 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,839 when you're just purchasing it. In addition to that, people 419 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,000 have posted amazing diys now with social media, which wasn't 420 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,079 around when I started. You know, people are sharing really 421 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:24,519 cool DIY stuff that they did, so really there's no excuse. Getty, 422 00:22:24,599 --> 00:22:27,119 I like that, you know, people have to do it. 423 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 2: And Liz tell people your background because you boldly entered 424 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,440 the Feline Spectrum last year with the Virginia Cat Festival. 425 00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:38,720 But this isn't your first festival or first event. What's 426 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:39,480 your background. 427 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,759 Speaker 3: Yes, it's not our first event. My business partner, Adam 428 00:22:42,799 --> 00:22:46,079 and I have been doing a vum production for about 429 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,720 fifteen years now and we frequently work in the city 430 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,720 of Williamsburg. Who is the sponsor of this event, And 431 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,920 the reason they are sponsoring a cat festival is that 432 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,319 we pitched it to them. They were looking for different 433 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,960 ideas of ways to attract visitors to Williamsburg and also 434 00:23:05,079 --> 00:23:07,440 create a more vibrant community for people that live there. 435 00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:10,240 And you know, when you think of Williamsburg, most people 436 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,079 think of colonial Williamsburg. You think of the history, but 437 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,519 there's actually a lot more going on there. And so 438 00:23:16,319 --> 00:23:19,240 we thought, hey, you know, we want to do something 439 00:23:19,279 --> 00:23:24,319 that's unique and will motivate people to travel to come 440 00:23:24,319 --> 00:23:27,559 for the event. And we really think that it's cats. 441 00:23:27,799 --> 00:23:31,519 Speaker 2: And so, so you just heard Kate. You know, Kate, 442 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,400 you're hearing what Liz is saying. Liz is doing something pioneerish, 443 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,480 if that's such a word. What do you think about 444 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,920 her taking a colonial, well named city, Williamsburg and saying 445 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,799 let's get Caddy. What do you think of her genius idea? 446 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 5: It's great. I mean it sounds like it was an 447 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,920 incredibly successful event last year. And I think every city 448 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,440 needs its own cat festival, right because each one will 449 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,200 be unique to that city and like you said, create 450 00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:00,200 local community. So I think that's a huge piece of it, 451 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:00,839 all right. 452 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: So we have to again quickly, Liz, tell us the 453 00:24:04,319 --> 00:24:06,720 dates and why we need to come to the Virginia 454 00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:07,480 Cat Festival. 455 00:24:07,839 --> 00:24:11,279 Speaker 3: Yes, the dates are in November first and second, Halloween weekend. 456 00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:15,759 You can find all the information and tickets at vacatfestival 457 00:24:15,839 --> 00:24:18,799 dot com. And we want you all to come just 458 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,240 to celebrate cats, because we all love cats and our 459 00:24:22,279 --> 00:24:26,799 pets and it's just nice to have space to celebrate 460 00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:28,640 that and connect with other people. 461 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 2: All right, and your thoughts coming all the way from Arizona, Kate. 462 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 5: I'm excited, and I love that it's on Halloween weekend 463 00:24:35,319 --> 00:24:37,920 because I will actually be bringing because I'll have a 464 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,799 booth as well, and I'll have some of my sort 465 00:24:40,799 --> 00:24:44,759 of witchy Halloween cat toys and earrings and stuff for 466 00:24:44,839 --> 00:24:46,519 cat lovers, so I can't wait. 467 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 2: I will be pushing a pet stroller with pet safety 468 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,559 cat Casey probably dressed up as put some boots if 469 00:24:52,599 --> 00:24:55,799 he tolerates it all around, because we went everywhere in 470 00:24:55,839 --> 00:24:58,119 that stroller. Do you remember that last year, Liz? 471 00:24:58,319 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 3: Yes, people loved it. 472 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:04,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's going through the cobblestone streets of Williamsburg, Kate going. Hey, 473 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,319 he knows a lot of things and he's never met 474 00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:10,200 a stranger or a strange place. I do steer him 475 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,119 a little bit away from the cat boost though, because 476 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:19,559 confession time, Casey loves people. Casey loves dogs. Cats not 477 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,319 so much so. He tolerates his brother, Rusty the per former, 478 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,000 but he's like, I'm here for the two leggers. So 479 00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:30,039 he just has to tell he's not perfect. Liz, is 480 00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:30,559 that okay? 481 00:25:30,839 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 3: It's absolutely fine, And you know he's pretty close to perfect. 482 00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:36,279 I'm not stay. He was very well behaved last year. 483 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 2: So if you could have a feline superpower, I'm going 484 00:25:40,279 --> 00:25:42,400 to ask you. We asked to all our guests, Liz, 485 00:25:42,759 --> 00:25:45,519 what would be your feline superpower? And why? 486 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 5: Oh? 487 00:25:46,279 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 3: I would love to be able to per because it's 488 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,960 like the most soothing sound ever and when my cat's purring, 489 00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:55,119 you know, I just love to cuddle him clothes. So 490 00:25:55,759 --> 00:25:58,359 I think that's a really nice thing to be able 491 00:25:58,400 --> 00:25:58,680 to do. 492 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, because they're the only ones that can per inhaling 493 00:26:01,599 --> 00:26:04,759 and exhaling, right, So get your pur on, get your 494 00:26:04,759 --> 00:26:06,720 peer on, Liz Sykes, how about you, Kate? 495 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,279 Speaker 5: Well, I mean in general, who doesn't want to fly? 496 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,559 And so the way cats can sort of gracefully leap 497 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,960 through the air, it's like they're flying. So you know, 498 00:26:16,039 --> 00:26:18,720 if I was that athletic, that would be nice. 499 00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:21,279 Speaker 2: Can you imagine you're on a crowded street and you 500 00:26:21,759 --> 00:26:25,119 and you could just leap up and bypass everything. Wouldn't 501 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,720 that be awesome? Why doesn't Superman have a cat? Why 502 00:26:27,799 --> 00:26:29,480 is it a dog? Now? I think we need to 503 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,440 get busy on that. I think the next Superman, Marvel, Marvel, 504 00:26:32,519 --> 00:26:35,640 you're listening, we should have Superman paired with the super Cat. 505 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,079 What are you guys, ladies?
