Easy way to do this: find a shirt you don't wear anymore, wash it if you want (to be clean at least), then sleep in the shirt. It'll get your sent without getting dirty through out the day or have any odor. ♡
My cat tent creation story: I went to the dollar store to get metal coat hangers because all mine were wood. At the dollar store I found ready made pop up cat tents for $3.
Omg! Our tent was looking so bad, but our cat didn't care about looks. He got right in it & went to sleep! He freaking loves it! Thanks for this awesome diy! The hot glue tip was very helpful. I can't believe how much our cat loves it!
I'm really glad you made a video of this. I've come across the tutorial before and half of it made no sense. I'm assuming it wasn't simply a repost, but someone trying to take credit for the idea and explaining it very poorly, because it seemed as though the one you followed was very legible. Regardless, thank you!
Brilliant!!! Had seen a different version, in which they didn't use the base... Just a small suggestion, instead of a cardboard, if you use a ply as the base, the tent becomes really sturdy! :) Love the video and the cat! Cheers!
It shows your love for the cat. It's the most innocent video 've ever seen. Cuteness overwhelming... Lots and lots and lots of love from India Bangalore 😸😽🤗
This was an awesome tutorial. I had all the supplies, made a 15" x 15" cardboard bottom with a soft old tee shirt and it turned out perfectly! Set it outside my door for an old, one-eye'd deaf stray cat that has been "guarding" my front door and now he has a semi-safe place to lay. :-) Thanks for sharing this with us. It was super easy to make!
My cat is a fat orange tabby with not one ounce of flexibility in his body... He took up the entire tent, his fat head was sticking out of the shirt hole... lol.
My friend and I did this for her two cats less than a month ago!!! They absolutely loved it! (Especially since we may have put a little extra catnip in it 😏)
So easy!! Thank you so much for posting this video, I will be taking care of my daughters' dad's cat for him starting tomorrow, and I really wanted to find something she could hide in while she becomes comfortable with my house, and thanks to your video, I think this is it!!💞
Be careful about the tape,I would just secure it with twine just to be extra safe,And i have a guinea pig as well but the one in my profile pic is in piggie heaven ):
GuineaPigSmith I have twine,But I'm not sure if its the right twine because on the back it just has designs,No information.I think it might be craft twine :/
OMG YESSS!!! Yesterday I had a sudden interest about the pins from Pinterest, so I ended up literally spending half of my day watching Pinterest's pins tutorial especially from This guy called 'ThreadBanger' who makes many videos called 'man vs pin'im super excited to see u do pets vs pins now. Hahah, Sorry for being too overly excited:D
These are honestly the best projects for cats, I have made a few DIY cat toys and my cat "Tippy" loves them!, I am also looking forward to making the DIY cat pin since my cat loves to sleep in warm closed space places so I figured he might like it, and hopefully I will soon to be making a list of what I could make for my cat, anyways thanks and keep up the great work, toodles! :)
I have a few different pets and just found this in my recommended list, it was fun to watch and I am looking forward to watching more of your videos! You just earned another subscriber ^-^
I'll do this for my cat. It's so handy, I'll use hangers and the cardboard I have at hand in the house. Great idea and useful with very low costs. Thank you!
this seems fairly easy to make! i'm sure everyone has these things. even if they dont everything in the video is pretty cheap to buy so it'd be fine! :)
I have cats, and i really liked this video, and i subscribed and liked it thank you for sharing this i will be making this one, i was impressed with how you were able to use the coat hangers, as a tent frame, great idea, glad you shared this. Thanks. Laura uk youtuber.
I am so happy!! Thanks for the tutorial. I watch all of your videos that you make. I always looked to your channel, and i always love it. Thanks for every thing, and " The 6 signs that your cat loves you", i am so impress and kinda glad cause there is 3 signs that my kitten loves me. Thank you for every thing again!
If you have a large cat it might be worth going to a DIY shop and getting some number 8 fencing wire (basically the same as the stuff coat hangers are made from) and a larger bit of card and making a bigger one for the bigger cat.
I did this for my bunny and she loves it. She was cautious at first but after she went in it she was fine. She was doing a binky around it. It took me forever to make though.
I need outdoor sturdier ones for feral cats. Any ideas? It can't be plastic totes because it has to fit next to or on downtown buildings and blend into the building color. Elevated or slightly elevated preferred.
You can make it for dogs! Just buy a really long wire cut it to 4 same long and do it with a larger cardboard and you done! :D (Sorry for my bad english my main languange is Hungarian..:D)
The vid with a guy using a cardboard box (same t-shirt idea) took about 30 seconds. No disrespect, but I was over 2 minutes in before anything happened here. Good effort but over engineered, my cat loves boxes to start with.
Lol I was going to make this cat tent until I realized I didn't have metal coat hangers OR wire cutters. So I took a long piece of cardboard from a bookshelf I recently bought, folded it in half to make an angle, and put it on my spare bed. My cat loved it and slept under it every day for 6 months.
Bunnystorm 101 prove it and it won't be a good bed and also if it does it means it doesn't feel save with you and also it means you don't care about it cause you can just go to a store and get a cardboard box so doing that means you're a bad owner
This would be great for Guinea Piggs! You would just have to use something water proof for the base, maybe a piece of a lid from a container. And you could put a fleece pad on the inside! My piggies are going to love this! Thank you!
For a bigger version....Take 4 hangers, tape 2 together overlapping a few inches on each side b4 sticking them in to your cardboard. This way it makes your hanger longer and makes it stand taller and higher. Also, expand the size of your cardboard if need be by an inch or 2. These diys are always trial and error....It just takes some imagination and determination for your kitty!!! 😁😎🐈❤❤ Oh, and you can cut the access of the t-shirt off from the bottom. It's not that big of a deal. 🖒🖒
another lovely video, I keep getting very confused as one of the women at my hairdressing training academy looks just like you and I keep going to call her Erin! whoops.
I LOVE IT!!! I'm going to do a smaller version of it so my chinchilla can sleep on it!! Thank you so much !! For the next video can you do a DIY of a home made wheel for small pets like hamsters or chinchillas . Thanks Again , Love You 😘😘😁😊
Wow I really loved this video! What size shirt did you use. I want to make one of these for my cat and one for my guinea pigs. Thanks Erin for this great idea :)
Do you think i would be able to make one for my rodo dwarf? I have seen it on pintrest a couple of times but it just struck me that I could probably make one for my hamster , because I don't own a cat and I'm not sure my dog (a pomeranian) would like that too much.... Maybe if I used some sturdy wire and maybe a sock and just cut a little hole for the exit/enter , what do you think? 😋
Made this for my cat...my dog uses it.
😂😂😂
lol
HAHAEEHEHEZKYDKYDJTXJTDJTA
That is awesome 😎😎😎😎
LOL
Just a tip.... wear the shirt without washing it. Most cats find alot of comfort in their owners scent.
That's sound cool
Your totally right
Thx for the tip it helped alott
Easy way to do this: find a shirt you don't wear anymore, wash it if you want (to be clean at least), then sleep in the shirt. It'll get your sent without getting dirty through out the day or have any odor. ♡

I made one today and my cats love it. I'm gonna make a bunch of them and then donate them to the SPCA and humane society
Great idea!
Awesome that so sweet of you
That's nice of u
No!!! The humane society owns no animal shelters, they just hoard it for themselves
Awe
I'm really glad you made a video of this. I've come across the tutorial before and half of it made no sense. I'm assuming it wasn't simply a repost, but someone trying to take credit for the idea and explaining it very poorly, because it seemed as though the one you followed was very legible. Regardless, thank you!
This DIY is amazing!!! My cat loves sleeping in these type of small spaces! The instructions were very clear, thank u!😄
That "old medium sized Tshirt" was a Skyrim one , love my cat but not that much
It was going in the bin anyway
I felt the same way hahahahaha
I thought the same thing, "What a waste of a Skyrim shirt! Noooooooo!" lol
I love my cats enough to give up a fave shirt
Brand new fabric at Wal-Mart is $3.00! >.< Not the Skyrim shirt!
5:06 Oh snap! That's a baby Khajiit living in your tent!
I tried this. Didn't look anywhere as neat as yours but my cat still likes it. Thanks
Brilliant!!! Had seen a different version, in which they didn't use the base...
Just a small suggestion, instead of a cardboard, if you use a ply as the base, the tent becomes really sturdy! :)
Love the video and the cat!
Cheers!
And use some wire on the hangers instead of masking tape. Even duct tape would be better then masking tape.
I'm gonna make a smaller version of this for my rats
Same
Same
i’m going to make a smaller version for my guinea pigs
baby shirts
It shows your love for the cat.
It's the most innocent video 've ever seen.
Cuteness overwhelming...
Lots and lots and lots of love from India Bangalore 😸😽🤗

Of course your cat fit, cats are liquid!
what liquid.....
not sure!
XD
SO TRUE
My cat is a fat orange tabby with not one ounce of flexibility in his body... He took up the entire tent, his fat head was sticking out of the shirt hole... lol.
Jacklyn Drawz
I have a similar cat. Huge, orange tabby. I'm going to try and make this bed larger, I'll use a 2xl shirt.
I feel like if you minimized everything it could be a hamster tent :) would be the cutest thing ever!
My friend and I did this for her two cats less than a month ago!!! They absolutely loved it! (Especially since we may have put a little extra catnip in it 😏)
Oh my, it looks vantastick. I don't have a cat, but I'm going to try it out for Jack and Jill, they will love it. Berty seems to like it.
So easy!! Thank you so much for posting this video, I will be taking care of my daughters' dad's cat for him starting tomorrow, and I really wanted to find something she could hide in while she becomes comfortable with my house, and thanks to your video, I think this is it!!💞
Really awesome idea!
Seeing you make this and Bertie loving it makes me wish my DIY skills were better, but I might just give it a go anyway! :)
Also if anyone here has Guinea Pigs this would be like perfect for them!
Be careful about the tape,I would just secure it with twine just to be extra safe,And i have a guinea pig as well but the one in my profile pic is in piggie heaven ):
Lps Snowie And Oreo Tv yeah agreed I would change with twine (sadly I don't have any so I cant make tent right now) awww sorry about your piggie
i agree im gonne ask my dad to help me with the my guinea pig snowy would love it!
GuineaPigSmith I have twine,But I'm not sure if its the right twine because on the back it just has designs,No information.I think it might be craft twine :/
GuineaPigSmith Oh and thank you,It's not your fault.She passed of old age. :( :( :.( :.(
This is so cool!! I always see projects like this but never know whether they are worth trying!
OMG YESSS!!!

Thanks so much! i made this for my 5 week old kitten and put a toy into the middle of the top of the tent! SHE LOVES IT Thanks so much :)
I am going to have to make this for my cats!! Your cat is ADORABLE!! And it was pretty smart to use a skyrim shirt
Great video! Fantastic idea! Bertie is so cute!
I'll do this for my cat. It's so handy, I'll use hangers and the cardboard I have at hand in the house. Great idea and useful with very low costs. Thank you!
this seems fairly easy to make! i'm sure everyone has these things. even if they dont everything in the video is pretty cheap to buy so it'd be fine! :)
Awesome! If i ever plan on adopting a rabbit this could be a very low cost hiding place for it :3
This is an awesome up cycle idea!!
I might make one for my three cats! And many one for my bunny! Love your channel and your pets!
Oops I meant maby not many
This is seriously so amazing and easy and you do a great job explain it pls do more videos you are awesome
I have cats, and i really liked this video, and i subscribed and liked it thank you for sharing this i will be making this one, i was impressed with how you were able to use the coat hangers, as a tent frame, great idea, glad you shared this. Thanks. Laura uk youtuber.
Wow using a T-shirt for something so simple to achieve. Awesome job! :)
Thats so cool! it could work for like rats, rabbits and animals of that size too!
An old wool sweater might be interesting to try as well.
Awesome diy! If im going to have a cat some day in my life im going to do This, thanks!
I am so happy!! Thanks for the tutorial. I watch all of your videos that you make. I always looked to your channel, and i always love it. Thanks for every thing, and " The 6 signs that your cat loves you", i am so impress and kinda glad cause there is 3 signs that my kitten loves me. Thank you for every thing again!

Will be making one for my cat Frisky. But will make it neater if I use a T-shirt, might just use some fabric I have and make a pillow for her.
I did this for my bunny and she loves it. She was cautious at first but after she went in it she was fine. She was doing a binky around it. It took me forever to make though.
Damn... the only material I'm missing is a cat... 😿
I need outdoor sturdier ones for feral cats. Any ideas? It can't be plastic totes because it has to fit next to or on downtown buildings and blend into the building color. Elevated or slightly elevated preferred.
HOW DARE YOU DO THAT DO DRAGONBORNS SHIRT!!!? WHITERUN WILL HAVE YOUR CAT TENT!
It was going in the bin anyway, it was full of holes
+ErinsAnimals lol fair enough anyways nice video but I have a dog :( I could try with Guinea pigs
You can make it for dogs! Just buy a really long wire cut it to 4 same long and do it with a larger cardboard and you done! :D (Sorry for my bad english my main languange is Hungarian..:D)
it was riped
Lps Millie lL
hey loved the idea. would certainly make it for my pugs. thanks a lot. a huge thumbs up.
He's so cute! I'm definitely going to try this with Jack 😻
I love this new series!!! You should continue it!!
Guys a much easier way is just to use a car board box
The vid with a guy using a cardboard box (same t-shirt idea) took about 30 seconds. No disrespect, but I was over 2 minutes in before anything happened here. Good effort but over engineered, my cat loves boxes to start with.
Not everyone wants cardboard boxes sitting around their home. This is a lot easier to make match things in the room.
Lol I was going to make this cat tent until I realized I didn't have metal coat hangers OR wire cutters. So I took a long piece of cardboard from a bookshelf I recently bought, folded it in half to make an angle, and put it on my spare bed. My cat loved it and slept under it every day for 6 months.
Bunnystorm 101 yep

Such a cute kitty!
I successfully made one!!! It was fun to make and easier than i thought ;D
Can we use this for puppies
Yeah, make the tent bigger
Dubble Art I don't see why not
Ofcourse 😄 u can use it for puppies but makr a bigger tent
This is totally fantastic - and something i wouldn't have thought up myself - cool. . . Thanks much Ü
Made this and he loved it! Thanks for the DIY!
Aaaaaaaah, I got so many ideas watching this!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Gorgeous accent,btw
Ha! This was awesome!! I hope you do more of these :)
Awwww I’m watching this with my kitties on the end of my bed ❤️❤️
5:10 Bert: if i fits i sits
Her: Ok! First things first you'll need a cat.
Me: Oh...😢😭😭😭
I think this would be perfect for a rabbit hideout/tent. :)
So so so cute, I love it!
It would look so cute with a tie die t shirt.
Aww bertie is so cute. Hes grown up so fast!
This would be great for Guinea Piggs! You would just have to use something water proof for the base, maybe a piece of a lid from a container. And you could put a fleece pad on the inside! My piggies are going to love this! Thank you!

It's not that big of a deal. 🖒🖒
Hi Erin, I really love all your videos especially about hamsters because it really helped me as an owner. By the way, I'm from Philippines. :)
another lovely video, I keep getting very confused as one of the women at my hairdressing training academy looks just like you and I keep going to call her Erin! whoops.
I love your cat beds!!!!!!!!!!😆😄
I stopped playing Skyrim right before I watched this so i think it's awesome that you used a Skyrim shirt!
This is such a cool idea!
I will be adopting a kitten in a week.So I tried this DIY my dad's shirt and my dog fits in it.LOL
good idear i think i will make 1 for my 2 guinea pigs but ill trim off the extra material so it lays flat then stitch it
I want to try this with my baby dog. If I do can I cut the neck of the t-shirt to make it bigger, or will it effect the tent?
Wow, this is really neat! I will do one like this for my rabbit. :)
That's a cute homemade cat tent 🙂
This is amazing! I love this I used it for her bed and she sleeps in it everyday 🐱😂
Thanks for the tutorial! Cant wait to make one for my cats!
when it rains outside we put a giant tent out so my cat can go outside without worries of getting wet! :3
Definitely gonna try this
this is going to be so helpful because I'm going to get a kitten not so far from now.BTW I like your eyes they re pretty :)
can I use it for a puppy hamsters, and rabbits
great idea, and saves a lot of money as well. and when Kitty is sick and tired of it, just use another or different color t shirt....
In England we don't commonly have wire hangers and I couldn't find any in the stores, how can I get around that?
You can just take a heavy wire!
Do you think this would work for guinea pigs if I made it a little smaller?
The tape could harm them so be careful
it could but use twine
You should do more pet vs pin
U r so good I make all of ur cat Diys and my cat LOVES THEM
me, my brother and mother made this for our cats, but now it's pretty much destroyed, but they still love it!😸😸
You should keep doing pet vs pin its super cool
Thanks Erin!
When I saw the skyrim shirt I was like 'Not your Skyrim shirt!!!'
Nice, cool, and Easy diy!!! :D
Could you also use this tent for a rabbit
Could it also be for rabbits? I am sure candy and Jack would love it
I LOVE IT!!! I'm going to do a smaller version of it so my chinchilla can sleep on it!! Thank you so much !! For the next video can you do a DIY of a home made wheel for small pets like hamsters or chinchillas . Thanks Again , Love You 😘😘😁😊
I did this for one of my friends that has a cat and the cat freaking loved that tent....
Wow I really loved this video! What size shirt did you use. I want to make one of these for my cat and one for my guinea pigs. Thanks Erin for this great idea :)
LOVE THE SHIRT
I want to try to try to make this for my cats, It looks pretty easy.
Is this cat tent ok for rabbits and guinea pigs?
Do you think i would be able to make one for my rodo dwarf? I have seen it on pintrest a couple of times but it just struck me that I could probably make one for my hamster , because I don't own a cat and I'm not sure my dog (a pomeranian) would like that too much.... Maybe if I used some sturdy wire and maybe a sock and just cut a little hole for the exit/enter , what do you think? 😋
Yes! I was thinking of that too!!
Yeah you can ad long as the materials are safe and they don't chew
Jax0104 or hedgehogs
